## Professional Colorbond Fence Installers Across Australia

Colorbond steel is Australia's most popular fencing material for good reason: it handles harsh UV, coastal salt air, and high winds while staying low maintenance for decades. Our network of vetted fencing installers handles everything from a single boundary replacement to full block perimeter fencing, gates, and retaining panels.

### Why use a licensed fencing contractor?

- Correct post depth and concrete footing for your soil type and fence height
- Straight, level lines even on sloping or undulating ground
- Watertight overlap laps and capping that won't lift in high winds
- Council setback and height rules navigated correctly from the start
- Fully insured trades who handle old fence demolition and disposal

### Popular profiles and heights

Standard ribbed Colorbond in 1.8 m suits most residential boundaries. A 2.1 m height adds privacy for pools or rear yards. Flat-profile and spear-top styles suit contemporary homes. Sloped sites use raked panels or stepped runs depending on the drop. All Colorbond colours are available through your installer.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does Colorbond fencing cost per metre?

Colorbond fence installation typically costs $85 to $160 per linear metre supplied and installed, depending on height, profile, post type, and site difficulty. Sloped sites, rock, or significant old fence removal add cost. Gates are usually priced separately. Get at least two quotes with the same scope and height specified.

### Does my neighbour have to pay half?

In most Australian states, dividing fence costs are shared equally under local fencing acts if both parties agree on scope and price. Your contractor can advise on the process; the key is giving your neighbour written notice and agreeing on the style and budget before work starts.

### How long does Colorbond fencing last?

Correctly installed Colorbond steel fencing typically lasts 20 to 30 years or more. It will not rot, warp, or need painting. In coastal environments, specify the appropriate corrosion-rated product (e.g. Colorbond Ultra) and ensure posts are hot-dipped galvanised.
