Delivering excellence for all in fencing Our Membership consists of Full Members and Associate Members.

Association of Fencing Industries (AFI), brings together EFIA and FCA into one new organisation that represents all parts of the industry. The Fencing Contractors Association (FCA) is a trade association set up in 1942 to facilitate the procurement of timber and other fencing materials to support the war effort. Since that time it has expanded its membership to include fencing contractors, material/product manufacturers and suppliers. Affiliate Membership is welcomed from individuals and companies who are not directly involved in the pre-mentioned categories. Anyone who is involved directly or indirectly in the fencing industry may apply to join.

And it's clearly something contractors value — 2026 has seen our highest number of registrations for both schemes, alongside continued membership growth! 👏

Build trust. Demonstrate competence. Stand out from the crowd.
