Kostum FAQ — Fences
Answers to your questions
Last updated:
I have a sloped lot, which fence should I choose?
Two solutions are available to compensate for the slope of the land:
Stepped installation (redans): The fence is installed on a low wall with terraces. This is the most aesthetic and common solution for keeping a fence straight. This solution requires brickwork.
Slope installation: The fence follows the contour of the land. This method requires bespoke fabrication and is often more expensive.
I want to block the view from neighbors, which fence models are suitable?
The most suitable fences for privacy are fully boarded fences. Louvred slat models are also an excellent alternative. Their slanted slats block the view.
I live in a windy zone, which fence should I choose to withstand the wind?
In an area exposed to wind, we recommend a fence with openwork slats. The gap between the slats allows the wind to pass through. The height of the fence is also a factor to consider. The taller your fence is, the more wind resistance it will have.
My property has uneven angles, how should I install a fence?
Kostum’s R&D teams have developed posts that adapt to different angles. Whether your angles are right angles, less than, or greater than 90°, our posts adapt precisely to the configuration of your property. This flexibility allows the fence to perfectly follow your property lines without any visual disruption.
I don’t have a low wall, how can I install a fence?
A fence can be installed without a low wall and does not always require brickwork. The fence can be installed directly on the ground using sealed posts that is, posts anchored deeply into the ground.
Installation on concrete pedestals can also be an alternative to a low wall.

All Kostum gates can be motorized. The type of motorization depends on several factors: swing or sliding gate, weight and dimensions of the gate... Taking these characteristics into account, Kostum installer partners will determine the most efficient and suitable motorization for your needs.
And because Kostum adapts to your lifestyle, you can motorize your gate later, after installation.
