Frequently Asked Questions
What fencing material lasts the longest?
The lifespan of a fence depends on the material and its exposure to weather. Colorbond is renowned for its exceptional durability, as it resists both rust and fading, making it suitable for most climates. Timber can also last for many years when properly sealed and maintained, although it requires more regular upkeep. Glass fencing is durable and corrosion-resistant, especially in areas prone to corrosion, such as around pools or in coastal regions. The best choice depends on your budget, the look you want and how much maintenance you are comfortable with.
Do I need council approval to install a fence?
Council requirements depend on factors such as height, material, and location. Many standard residential fences can be installed without approval; however, taller fences or those located near boundaries, easements, or pools may require permission. It is always recommended to check local guidelines or speak with the council before starting work to avoid delays or compliance issues.
What is the difference between timber and Colorbond fencing?
Timber fencing offers a natural look that suits a wide range of homes, but it requires sealing, painting, or staining to maintain good condition. Colorbond fencing provides a modern, low-maintenance alternative with strong resistance to rust, pests and weather.
Timber gives more design flexibility and customisation, while Colorbond delivers consistent colour and long-term durability. The choice comes down to style preference, upkeep and budget.
Fencing Built for Long-Term Value
The right fence should last for years, which is why the installation process is just as important as the materials used. We'll assess soil conditions, gradients and access points to ensure the fence sits securely and remains stable over time. Our team also precisely positions posts and panels to keep lines straight and finishes consistent across your whole boundary.
Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance solution, a privacy-focused design or something decorative, we strive to create a fence that performs well in daily use and enhances the overall appearance of your home.
