When it comes to outdoor living, safety and space often go hand-in-hand. Boundaryline’s FlameWall is a revolutionary fire-rated fence system, designed to optimise outdoor spaces while ensuring compliance with New Zealand’s fire safety regulations. As the first of its kind in New Zealand, FlameWall is engineered for safety, simplicity, and flexibility—ideal for residential areas, especially where space is limited.

Why FlameWall?

FlameWall is a modular fire-rated fencing solution that has been independently laboratory tested and awarded a Fire Resistance Rating (FRR) of -/60/-. This rating means FlameWall can resist fire for 60 minutes, providing robust protection. Whether you’re installing a garden shed or other small structures near a legal boundary, FlameWall ensures you can do so safely and in compliance with building codes.

Key Features

  • Fire-Rated Protection
    Tested to an FRR of -/60/-, FlameWall offers superior fire resistance, making it perfect for areas close to boundary lines where fire safety is a priority.

  • Modular System
    Engineered for easy installation, the modular design makes FlameWall simple to set up, saving both time and effort. 

  • Maximise Your Outdoor Space
    With FlameWall, structures can be safely placed against the boundary, allowing you to optimise your backyard space—a key benefit, especially in medium-density housing developments where every square metre counts.

  • Dual-Sided Utilisation
    FlameWall can be used on both sides of a legal boundary, offering protection and versatility whether you’re installing it on your side of the property or the neighbour’s.

  • Seamless Integration
    The system is designed to integrate effortlessly with any existing Boundaryline fencing solution, offering a cohesive look to your outdoor area.

  • Customisable Appearance
    FlameWall’s surface is fully paintable, so you can personalise it to match your home’s aesthetic while ensuring top-notch fire safety.

Building Code Compliance

FlameWall complies with New Zealand Building Code Clauses C3 and C6, which govern fire safety and structural integrity during a fire. Clause C3 is focused on preventing the spread of fire between properties, which is crucial for structures located close to legal boundaries. Clause C6 ensures the stability of structures in the event of a fire, reducing the risk of collapse and protecting occupants and neighbouring properties alike.

In many residential developments, particularly medium-density housing, outdoor space is at a premium. Without the correct fire-rated fencing system, homeowners face limitations when it comes to placing structures like garden sheds near boundaries. FlameWall eliminates these restrictions by meeting all fire safety regulations, allowing for more flexible use of your outdoor space.

Compliance and Installation

FlameWall meets the requirements of AS 15304-2014, which states that structures within a safe zone must provide 60 minutes of fire resistance by preventing the passage of flames and maintaining a consistent temperature on unexposed surfaces. With FlameWall, homeowners can safely install structures close to boundaries without worrying about non-compliance.

For detailed design and installation instructions, you can refer to the Boundaryline FlameWall PS1 and Install Guide, available on the FlameWall product page. These resources will ensure that FlameWall is installed correctly, maximising both safety and usability.
