Why fencing goes wrong

Two questions nobody answers, and the trap they leave you in.

You cannot get a price without booking a stranger

Every fencer makes you wait for a "free measure and quote" before you learn a single number. Fencing is one of the most estimable trades there is: it is linear metres, by height, by material. So we put an honest by-the-metre range on the screen first. Then we measure and pin the exact figure on site.

Nobody tells you who pays for the boundary

A shared boundary fence is normally a split cost under the Dividing Fences Act, but most fencers leave you to work the neighbour conversation out yourself. We give you a clear quote to put in front of them, and a plain-English note on how the split works.

The cheap fence leans over in three summers

A low number usually means posts knocked straight into the dirt, look-alike steel with no brand named, and no warranty in writing. The posts and footings are the part that fails first, and the part a cheap quote quietly skimps. We set them in concrete to the right depth for the soil, name the material, and warrant the posts for 10 years.

Before you book anyone

See a real by-the-metre price, then book the measure.

Pick the material, the metres and the height, and get an honest supplied-and-installed range in under a minute. It is free, it stores nothing, and it runs in your browser. It is a guide range, not a quote: the free measure pins your exact number on site.

How it runs

From the free measure to the warranty in your hand, step by step.

Footings are a real step, not an afterthought. They cure before anything hangs off them.

1

Free measure and set-out

We measure the boundary, check the soil and the slope, mark the line and talk through material and height, then put a written quote in your hands.

2

Itemised quote

The honest quote: metres, height and material, the post type and footing depth, gates, old-fence removal, and the boundary-cost note if it is a dividing fence.

3

Materials and start date

You sign off the material, the colour and the scope. We order, confirm the install window, and book the dig, working in any neighbour and council notices.

4

Remove and set the posts

We take down the old fence, cart it away, then dig footings to depth and set the posts in concrete. The footings cure before anything hangs off them.

5

Panels, rails and gates

Once the footings are set, the panels or palings and rails go on, raked to follow the slope, and the gates are hung, automated and tested where fitted.

6

Clean-up and handover

We clear the site, walk you around the finished fence, hand over the warranty in writing and any pool-compliance paperwork, and set up the gate remotes.

What is actually on the quote

Seven lines. Every one in writing.

    ‘Two-grand all in’ by text seven lines, every one priced.
    Why our quote looks different

    What an honest fence quote itemises, line by line.

    A flat per-metre price with no height, no footing detail and no material named is the warning sign, not the number itself. Here is everything that is in ours.

    The 7-line quote
    1. 1 Metres, height and material. The price broken down by linear metres, the fence height, and the material named: the Colorbond colour, or the timber type and grade. Not one round number for "a fence".
    2. 2 Post type and footing depth. The post type, the footing depth, and that the posts are set in concrete, dug deeper for reactive clay and sloping ground. This is the line cowboys skip.
    3. 3 Panels, rails and fixings. The panel or paling spec, the rail layout, and the fixings. Lapped-and-capped, standard, or good-neighbour, stated so you know which side gets what.
    4. 4 Gates, itemised. Each gate its own line: pedestrian or driveway, the hardware, and whether automation is included or quoted separately once we see the opening.
    5. 5 Old-fence removal and tip fees. Removal, the old posts pulled or cut off, and the tip fees, each a line, never folded into a round number or sprung on you at the end.
    6. 6 The boundary-cost note. If it is a dividing fence, a plain-English note on how the cost splits with the neighbour, and a quote you can put in front of them.
    7. 7 Warranty and compliance. The 10-year posts and footings warranty in writing, the Colorbond materials warranty, and the AS 1926.1 compliance paperwork where a pool fence is involved.
    If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

    • Genuine Colorbond, colour named
    • Footing depth set for the soil
    • Pool fence certified to AS 1926.1
    • Gates and removal itemised

    Cowboy tells

    • Posts knocked straight into the ground
    • "Steel fencing." No brand, look-alike
    • Same shallow hole in clay or sand
    • No compliance cert on the pool fence
    • One round number, no breakdown
    • Cash job, no warranty in writing
    Honest scope

    A span, a full boundary, or the whole property. We will tell you which you need.

    Option A

    Repair or replace a span

    One run, one side, or a storm-damaged section: take out the failed span and rebuild it on properly set posts, matched to the rest of the fence.

    Right when: a single side or a damaged section, not the whole boundary.
    Wrong when: the posts all through the fence are knocked-in and leaning.
    $1,500 to $5,000
    Most common

    Full boundary replacement

    The whole boundary taken out and rebuilt in your chosen material on concreted posts, raked to the slope, with the old fence removed and carted away. The job we do most.

    Right when: an old fence that is leaning, rotten or past patching.
    Wrong when: one good section just needs a span repaired.
    $7,000 to $18,000
    Option C

    Full property, gates and automation

    Front, sides and rear as one package, with matching tubular or Colorbond, automated driveway gates, and pool or security fencing set out and certified where needed.

    Right when: a new build, a full reset, or doing the lot at once.
    Wrong when: you only need one boundary done this year.
    $18,000 to $45,000+
    Option D

    Pool or compliance fencing

    Aluminium or frameless glass pool fencing set out to AS 1926.1, with the compliant gate and the paperwork the certifier needs, so it passes inspection first time.

    Right when: a pool, spa or a fence that has to pass a safety inspection.
    Wrong when: a standard boundary with no pool to enclose.
    Set out to AS 1926.1, then quoted
    Guarantee in writing

    Three layers, and what each one covers.

    The posts and footings layer is the one cowboys skimp, and the one we lead on.

    Layer 01

    Posts and footings

    10 years on the posts and footings, in writing. The part that fails first and the part cowboys skimp: if a post heaves or leans in that time, we put it right. This is the fencing-specific lever.

    Layer 02

    Materials (Colorbond / BlueScope)

    The genuine Colorbond and BlueScope manufacturer warranty on the steel, up to 10 to 15 years depending on the product, valid because we fit the real material and name it on the quote.

    Layer 03

    Statutory (ACL)

    Services rendered with due care and skill for a reasonable period under Australian Consumer Law. Always applies, on top of the two layers above.

    The cover a cheap fence quote leaves out

    QBCC and NSW Fair Trading

    “Replaced the whole back boundary in Colorbond, raked to follow the slope so there are no gaps underneath. Old fence carted away, tip fees on the quote, no surprises at the end. A block from the water and they spec'd it for the salt.”

    The questions every homeowner asks, answered once.

    Cost per metre, who pays for the boundary, timber versus Colorbond, pool compliance, posts in clay, and whether we are licensed. Ten minutes here saves an hour on the day.

    How much does a new fence cost per metre?
    It depends mostly on the material and the height, but as a guide most jobs land between about $180 and $400 a metre supplied and installed: treated-pine paling at the lower end, Colorbond in the middle, tubular and glass pool fencing higher. Our by-the-metre estimator gives you an honest range in under a minute. Price your fence, then book a measure and we will pin the exact number on site.
    Who pays for a boundary fence, me or my neighbour?
    Under the Dividing Fences Act in your state, a boundary fence is normally a shared cost, split evenly between the two owners for a fence of a sufficient standard. You serve your neighbour a fencing notice with a quote, and you sort out any upgrade you want above the standard yourself. We have done hundreds of these and we will give you a clear quote to put in front of the neighbour, plus a plain-English note on how the cost split works. Start with the estimator so you both know the number.
    Timber or Colorbond, which lasts longer?
    Colorbond steel will almost always outlast timber and asks for far less upkeep: no painting, no warping, and it shrugs off termites. Treated-pine and hardwood paling looks warmer and costs less up front, but it moves, greys and eventually rots at the base. The real lifespan question is the posts and footings underneath either one, which is why our warranty covers them. Compare both on the estimator, then we will talk through what suits your boundary.
    Does my pool fence have to meet a standard?
    Yes. Pool and spa fencing must comply with AS 1926.1 and your local council rules: minimum 1.2 m height, no climbable gaps, gaps under 100 mm, and a self-closing, self-latching gate that opens away from the pool. We set out and build pool fencing to that standard and provide the compliance paperwork, so it passes inspection the first time instead of failing on a gate latch. Ask us for a pool-compliant quote.
    Will the posts hold in our clay (or sandy) soil?
    Only if they are set properly, and that is where cheap fences fail first. We dig footings to the right depth for the soil and the fence height and set the posts in concrete, deeper in reactive clay and on exposed or sloping ground. A knocked-in post in clay heaves and leans within a couple of seasons. Our 10-year warranty covers the posts and footings because we stand behind how they go in.
    Are you licensed and insured, and which areas do you cover?
    Yes. We hold a QBCC licence in Queensland and an NSW Fair Trading licence, so we are covered both sides of the border, and we carry public liability insurance to $20M. We cover the suburbs listed on our areas section with no travel surcharge inside our service radius. If you are just outside it, call us, we will usually still come and look.
