Keçiören Fence Systems and Garden Enclosure

Rules for planning a fence line on a narrow plot

Keçiören is a dense residential district. Plots are generally narrow, buildings sit close together and gardens run right up to the block. That fabric simplifies the fencing decision: when the usable garden is already tight, putting up a thick line that eats into the ground only makes it smaller.

The system that earns its place here is therefore a slim one that still stands up on its own. Panel fence fits that description exactly; its welded mesh holds the line upright without any tensioning, and in a narrow garden it takes up no more than a few centimetres.

Another practical point is the face of the line that looks at the building. Where ground floor windows sit close to the fence, a completely solid surface can darken the rooms behind them. In that situation, building the line semi-open rather than closed keeps the daylight and still draws the boundary clearly.

The narrow plot shows itself again during installation. A garden hemmed in by buildings may leave nowhere to manoeuvre long material. So when the line is planned, think about how a full panel will actually be carried into the garden; working in shorter modules where necessary beats struggling on site.

What changes on sloping ground

The topography of this district slopes. It is normal to see a clear level difference between the two ends of the same garden. On a falling line a fence is built in one of two ways: stepped, or raked to follow the ground. In the stepped version each panel stays horizontal and a step forms between panels; the line looks tidy, but the gaps underneath stop matching the ground.

In the raked version the line follows the ground and no gap is left underneath, but the panel itself sits at an angle and every post needs its angle worked out. On gentle gradients the second method gives the cleaner result, on steep gradients the first.

The second effect of a slope is post length. In a stepped installation the post at the higher level has to be kept longer. When measuring, note not only the length of the line but how many steps it will take and how many centimetres each step drops. Miss that detail and the posts will not fit on site.

Shared decisions and running meters in an apartment garden

In Keçiören most of the demand comes from apartment block and gated estate gardens. Since the decision in a shared area does not belong to one person, settling the running meters before the quotation stage speeds the work up. The street frontage, the side garden lines, the rear garden and the car park boundary, where there is one, should each be measured separately.

The number of openings should be fixed at the start too. In most apartment gardens two are enough: the main entrance onto the street, and a pedestrian gate on the boiler room or bin store side. Adding one later means taking that section of the line apart and rebuilding it.

If the fence is going on top of an existing garden wall, the wall thickness and how level its top surface is belong in the measurements. On wall-top work the posts are not set into concrete but bolted down through a flange, and that means a different type of post.

Priorities for school grounds and play areas

The district has a high density of schools and children's play areas. What enclosure has to do there is clear: stop a child leaving unsupervised, and make entry from outside difficult. Appearance comes second, though it is not ignored altogether; a line that does not block the view keeps the area supervisable from outside.

Height is the critical choice. A low line is an invitation to climb, while an excessively high one turns the area into a prison yard. The usual answer is a height somewhat above adult reach, chosen without leaving a horizontal rail near the top that would make climbing easier.

Where the look needs softening, artificial grass fence can be applied to certain stretches. That creates a screen only on the critical face towards the street, without closing the whole line, and keeps the area bright from inside.

Play areas bring impact into it as well. Where ball games are played the line takes constant knocks; narrowing the post spacing and strengthening the bottom fixing along that stretch prevents from the outset the sagging that otherwise appears after a couple of seasons.

Trade premises and small business frontages

There is no heavy industry in Keçiören, but there are plenty of small businesses and trade premises. On a store forecourt, a materials yard or a vehicle repair area the requirement usually comes down to two things: keeping the stock out of sight, and making entry outside working hours difficult.

In this kind of area the vehicle entrance is the weakest point of the line. Where space is tight a single leaf takes up too much room; a double swing gate stays practical because it halves the swing each leaf needs. As leaf width grows the load on the hinges and the post grows with it, so the gate post is specified stronger than the line posts.

Another matter on business frontages is a line that works open by day and closed at night. If the lock and the closing direction are planned properly from the start, daily use does not wear the line out.

On frontages facing a footway the leaf must not open outwards. On a street with people walking past, an outward-opening leaf creates a risk and demands constant attention in daily use. Inward opening, or a leaf that slides to one side, is the choice at those entrances.

How post choice decides the life of the line

The first thing to wear out on a fence line is usually not the mesh but the post and its fixing to the ground. Concrete posts have the advantage on damp ground that never really dries; their weight holds the line steady and corrosion is not an issue. Against that they are heavy and awkward to carry down a narrow street.

Steel tube posts are light and quick to put up, and easier to adjust in length on lines where the level changes. Because they can be either set into concrete or bolted down through a flange, they give flexibility on wall-top work.

What decides the choice is where the line is going: concrete posts on earth ground and long runs, steel tube posts on wall tops and stepped lines, more often than not. Treating post spacing as a standard figure without looking at the product type is a common mistake.

Delivery, site survey and pricing for Keçiören

Shipments leave our depot in Ostim. Keçiören is roughly 14 km away, so same-day dispatch is possible on stock items. At addresses where narrow streets and steep roads keep a large vehicle out, telling us the unloading point in advance makes the delivery easier.

Delivery is always charged, including within Ankara; the haulage figure is set by volume and address. A site survey is free within Ankara, and the measurements are taken together on site.

Installation is not a standard service. Our teams attend projects of approximately 1000 metres and above. Every price we quote includes VAT.
