Before 
After The job
What we walked into, and what we did.
The problem
A 42 metre back boundary of treated-pine paling on a sloping Buderim block had been knocked into the red soil years earlier and was leaning hard into the neighbour, with gaps under the bottom rail the dog kept finding. Two earlier quotes were a single round number with no footing detail and no colour named.
Our approach
We measured the boundary, set out the line and priced it by the metre, with the Colorbond colour and the footing depth on the quote. We took the old fence down, dug the footings deeper for the reactive red soil and the grade, set the posts in concrete and let them cure, then raked the Colorbond panels to follow the slope so there are no gaps underneath.
The result
A straight, gap-free 1.8 metre Colorbond boundary that follows the contour, with the old fence and footings carted away and the tip fees itemised. Handed over with the 10-year posts and footings warranty and the Colorbond materials warranty in writing.
Materials
- Genuine Colorbond steel by BlueScope, Woodland Grey
- 2.0m galvanised posts in concrete footings

A closer look.
“Three quotes, and Postline was the only one that gave us a real per-metre price and named the colour. Posts are dead straight on a slope that beat the last fence.”
