What Hekwerkwebshop.nl does

Hekwerkwebshop.nl is a Dutch e-commerce company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Urk, Flevoland, Netherlands, operating a direct-to-consumer webshop for custom-made metal fencing and balustrade solutions. The company manufactures products in its own Netherlands workshop using thermally galvanized steel with double powder coating, including sierhekwerken (decorative fencing), balustrades (steel, RVS, aluminium, glass variants), poorten (swing and sliding gates), and various afrasteringen (spijlenhekwerk, harmonicagaas, dubbelstaafmat, and houtlook wood-look fencing). The product range has expanded into adjacent metalwork categories including metal stairs, canopies, custom tarpaulins (zeilmakerij), tile supports, corten steel planters, and fireplace accessories. Made-to-measure manufacturing positions the company against low-cost Chinese imports with fixed dimensions.

The business model is primarily one-time product sales (one-time/perpetual license) with optional professional installation services across the Benelux. Custom/made-to-order products are quote-based with transparent shipping costs ranging from free to €95 for large/heavy items. Customer segments include residential homeowners (primary), business/professional customers, and contractors/installers. Marketing combines content (inspiration pages, blog, project showcases), social media across five platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest), and third-party trust signals via Webwinkel Keurmerk certification (9.3/10 rating across 300 reviews). The company maintains distribution partnerships with component manufacturers including Locinox, Grande Forge, Betafence, Q-Railing, Crosinox, and Comunello, while pursuing dealer and installer recruitment to extend its service footprint beyond the 7-person in-house team.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Gamma: Largest Dutch DIY and building materials retail chain. Competes with Hekwerkwebshop.nl for residential fencing and outdoor structure buyers through in-store and online channels, though it offers standardized rather than made-to-measure products.
• Bekaert: Belgian-headquartered global steel and wire products company with a significant fencing and infrastructure division. Operates at a much larger scale than Hekwerkwebshop.nl but competes in adjacent fencing products and benefits from the same Benelux industrial base.

Direct peers

• Heras: Leading Dutch manufacturer and installer of perimeter protection, fencing, and gates headquartered in the Netherlands. Competes head-to-head in the Benelux market for residential and commercial fencing projects with comparable custom-fabrication and installation services.
• Locinox: Belgian manufacturer of gate hardware, locks, hinges, and automation components. Resells through Hekwerkwebshop.nl but also sells direct to installers and end customers, overlapping in gate hardware and automation categories in Benelux.
• Q-Railing: Manufacturer of stainless steel and glass balustrade systems whose components Hekwerkwebshop.nl resells. Directly overlaps in balustrade and railing product categories and serves a similar European customer base of installers and residential buyers.
• Betafence: Global fencing systems manufacturer whose mesh, posts, and accessories Hekwerkwebshop.nl resells. Overlaps directly in the same product categories (spijlenhekwerk, harmonicagaas, dubbelstaafmat) and the same Benelux customer base, making it both a supplier and a competitor.
• Dirickx: French fencing manufacturer offering residential and commercial fencing, gates, and posts across Europe. Comparable to Hekwerkwebshop.nl in offering made-to-measure metal fencing with installation, though primarily serving the French market rather than Benelux.

Regional players

• Hubo: Belgian DIY and building materials retailer operating across Belgium. Comparable to Hekwerkwebshop.nl for residential fencing, balustrade, and outdoor project buyers, but serving a different national geography within Benelux.
