Question 1

What types of fencing do you install in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

We install all types of fencing including Colourbond steel fencing, timber fencing (hardwood and treated pine), pool safety fencing (glass, aluminium, and steel), security fencing, custom gates (manual and electric), farm fencing, and decorative fencing. Each type is available in various styles, heights, and finishes to suit residential, commercial, and industrial properties across Sydney NSW.

Question 2

How much does fencing cost in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Fencing costs in Sydney vary by material and complexity. Colourbond fencing typically ranges from $100-$180 per metre installed, timber fencing from $90-$150 per metre, pool fencing from $200-$400 per metre depending on material (glass being premium), and security fencing from $120-$250 per metre. Electric gates start from $3,500 installed. We provide free detailed quotes with transparent pricing, including materials, labour, and any additional requirements like concrete footings or council permits.

Question 3

How long does fence installation take?

Accepted Answer

Installation timeframes depend on project size and complexity. A standard residential boundary fence (20-30 metres) typically takes 2-3 days to complete. Pool fencing installations usually take 1-2 days for standard residential pools. Large commercial projects or complex terrain may take 1-2 weeks. We provide accurate timeframes during the quoting process and work efficiently to minimize disruption. Weather conditions and council permit approval times may affect the overall project timeline.

Question 4

Do I need council approval for fencing in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Council approval requirements depend on fence type, height, and location. Generally, boundary fences under 2.0 metres high in residential areas don't require approval, but this varies by council area and specific circumstances. Pool fencing must meet NSW swimming pool barrier requirements under the Swimming Pools Act 1992 and usually requires certification but not always council approval. Front fences, heritage areas, and fences near roads often require approval. We can advise on your specific requirements and assist with the application process.

Question 5

What's the best fencing material for Sydney weather?

Accepted Answer

Colourbond steel fencing performs exceptionally well in Sydney's climate. It's resistant to coastal salt air, won't rust or corrode, withstands high winds, and the finish won't peel or chip. Treated pine timber is also excellent when properly maintained, offering natural aesthetics while resisting termites and rot. For coastal areas within 10km of the beach, we strongly recommend Colourbond or marine-grade aluminium. For inland areas, both Colourbond and quality treated timber are excellent choices that will last 20+ years with minimal maintenance.

Question 6

Are you licensed and insured fencing contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are fully licensed fencing contractors in NSW with comprehensive public liability insurance covering $20 million. All our installers are experienced professionals who follow Australian Standards for fencing installation. We hold all necessary trade licenses and comply with WorkCover requirements. You can verify our credentials and we provide copies of our insurance certificates upon request. We're also members of relevant industry associations, ensuring we maintain the highest standards of workmanship and professionalism.

Question 7

Can you match existing fencing or do custom designs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We specialize in custom fencing solutions. We can match your existing fence design, color, and materials for seamless repairs or extensions. For new installations, we offer fully customized designs tailored to your property's architecture, landscape, and your personal preferences. This includes custom heights, decorative elements, mixed materials (timber and steel combinations), laser-cut panels, unique gate designs, and color-matched Colourbond to your home's exterior. Our team provides 3D design visualizations for complex projects.

Question 8

Do you remove old fencing as part of the service?

Accepted Answer

Yes, old fence removal and disposal is included in our full installation service. We carefully remove existing fencing, including posts and concrete footings where necessary. All debris is removed from site and disposed of responsibly - timber is recycled where possible, and metal is sent to scrap metal recyclers. We also conduct site remediation, leveling ground where old posts were removed and preparing the area for new installation. This ensures a clean, professional result from start to finish.

Question 9

Our teams are mobile and equipped to handle projects from the Central Coast to the South Coast, including the Blue Mountains region. Contact us to confirm service availability in your specific area.

Question 10

What warranty do you provide on fencing work?

Accepted Answer

We provide comprehensive warranties on all fencing installations. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 5 years, covering installation quality and structural integrity. Colourbond fencing comes with the manufacturer's 15-year warranty against peeling, flaking, and corrosion. Timber fencing carries a 5-year warranty when using treated materials. Pool fencing installations include certification compliance guarantees. Electric gate automation systems have a 2-year warranty on motors and electronics. All warranties are provided in writing and we stand behind our work with responsive after-sales support.

Question 11

Can you install fencing on sloped or difficult terrain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialize in challenging terrain installations. We have extensive experience with sloped sites, rocky ground, and uneven landscapes across Sydney. For slopes, we use stepped or raked fencing techniques depending on the gradient and your preference. We handle rock excavation, concrete cutting for hard surfaces, and specialized footing solutions for unstable ground. Our team conducts thorough site assessments to determine the best approach for your specific terrain, ensuring structural integrity and aesthetic appeal regardless of ground conditions.

Question 12

Do you install electric and automated gates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialize in electric gate installation and automation. We install swing gates (single and double), sliding gates, and provide automation solutions for existing gates. Our systems include remote controls, intercom integration, smartphone app control, sensor safety features, and backup power options. We install residential and commercial gate automation systems including boom gates for businesses. All electrical work is performed by licensed electricians and complies with Australian Standards. We provide ongoing maintenance services for automated gate systems.

Question 13

Is pool fencing mandatory in Sydney and what are the requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes, pool fencing is mandatory in NSW under the Swimming Pools Act 1992. All pools capable of holding more than 300mm of water must be surrounded by a compliant barrier. Requirements include: minimum height of 1.2 metres, no climbable objects within 900mm, self-closing and self-latching gates, gaps no larger than 100mm, and specific gate latch height requirements. Pool fencing must be inspected and certified for pool registration. We install fully compliant pool fencing in glass, aluminium, and steel, and provide the necessary certification documentation for council registration.

Question 14

What payment methods do you accept and when is payment due?

Accepted Answer

We accept multiple payment methods including bank transfer, credit/debit cards, and cash. For residential projects, we typically require a 30% deposit upon signing the contract to secure materials and schedule installation, with the remaining 70% due upon completion. For larger commercial projects, we offer milestone payment schedules. We provide detailed written quotes and contracts outlining all costs before work begins. No hidden fees.
