Frequently asked questions from our customers / notifications from Ograje Kočevar d.o.o.

You can visit us on weekdays, between 7:00 and 17:00 and on Saturdays, between 8:00 and 12:00, in Prebold, on Tovarniška cesta 11c or in Maribor, on Jadranska 27 (Former Ligro Shopping Centre).

Our commercial field technicians will visit you at your home to give you advice and measurements. For simpler buildings, we recommend that customers first obtain an informative quote. It is then easier for the customer to decide whether they are interested in the offer and whether they want to see it.

Please send us as much information as possible about the fence you want - the type of fence, length, height, colour, method of fixing (concrete foundations, screwing), whether you need a gate for a personal passage, a gate for a driveway, whether the ground is level or not - to our e-mail address or by phone. what are the terrain gradients, etc. Please also provide your personal details (first name, last name, address, telephone number, and email address), so we can forward your offer.

The delivery time for standard panel fencing in standard sizes and colours is usually 2-3 weeks, and for custom-made fencing and gates, 3-5 weeks - depending on the gate model and fence type.

The standard colours (no extra charge is required) are green (RAL 6005) and anthracite grey (RAL 7016). For other RAL colours, the price is at least 10% higher.

First, we need to ask ourselves why we need or need to. do we want a fence? The most common reasons are security, intimacy, and the enclosure of our property. This is followed by the desire for a rounded visual image of a space - a fence is like jewellery that, if chosen and designed correctly, adds to the decoration of the space and the buildings. So if you need a fence because you have small children and want to protect them from the dangers of, for example. proximity to a road, stream, or cliff... choose a fence high enough and strong enough to prevent climbing or passage through it. In this case, functionality comes first. But if the fence is for appearance, it can also be lower, more open, more decorative.

Customers sometimes need to be reminded that they are buying a fence for practically their whole life and that the right choice and the right quality are, therefore, crucial. Based on our many years of experience and knowledge of our customer's needs and wishes, we advise our customers to consider the following criteria when making their decision:
- ease of installation and use (maintenance-free, long lifetime),
- matching the customer's space, facilities and lifestyle (colour matching, customised fences),
- a complete range of services - from the manufacture of fences and gates (including customised products) to the provision of additional services (inspections, advice, planning, installation).

Most of our fences are made of steel, galvanised and powder-coated elements. They are, therefore, virtually indestructible and maintenance-free. Our fencing and fence gates are welded and painted in Prebold, where we have offices and our own production. We guarantee our customers compliance with all the necessary standards and top quality, which is regularly checked in our laboratories, and we have all the necessary certificates.

Despite our wide range of fencing systems, our customers still opt most often for panel fencing which represents the optimum combination of functionality, price and ease of installation. In standard green or grey colours, they blend in perfectly with the surroundings and the house. other buildings built in classical or modern styles. These railings do not obscure views, although in combination with wooden slats this can also be achieved.
Knitted wire mat fences are recommended for those who want to fence a larger area (e.g. farm, orchard, large garden, playground, etc.) or where the terrain is very rough.
We can offer customers interested in stone fencing stone baskets or. gabione or narrow stone fences. The latter differ from gabions in that they are made up of 12 cm wide posts to which panels are fixed on both sides and between which stones are placed. These fences are the best for intimacy, and gabions can even be used as a substitute for a trellis.
