Postline Fencing Co. Colorbond & Steel Fencing
Colorbond is the volume product for good reason: no painting, no warping, and it shrugs off termites. We fit genuine Colorbond made by BlueScope, in the standard colour range, named on your quote so you know exactly what you are getting, not a look-alike steel that fades and chalks in a few summers. Set on concreted posts and raked to follow a sloping boundary.

Colorbond is a brand decision before it is a price decision
“Steel fencing” is not one product. Genuine Colorbond by BlueScope and the look-alike sheet from a discount yard are not the same fence, and they will not weather the same way on a Sunshine Coast boundary. Real Colorbond carries the BlueScope materials warranty, the colour holds for years, and the steel is rated for the coastal exposure on a Maroochydore or a Mooloolaba block. The look-alike chalks within two summers and the bottom rail goes long before the posts do. We name the brand, the profile (Smartascreen, Goodneighbour, Stratco fence panel) and the colour on every quote. The line on the quote matches the line on the supplier invoice, and the BlueScope warranty is registered to your address at handover.
What changes when you go Colorbond
The sheet costs more than a timber paling, but the post and footing work is the same job, and on coastal exposure the fixings step up: hot-dipped galvanised brackets, stainless or galvanised tek screws, post caps to keep water out of the end-grain. Get the fixings wrong and the fence rusts through long before the sheet fails. We price the correct fixing line for the exposure, not the cheaper one, and the spec is on the quote.
What an itemised Colorbond fence includes
- The linear metres, the fence height (1.5m, 1.8m or 2.1m), and the Colorbond colour named (Surfmist, Monument, Woodland Grey, etc.)
- The profile named (Smartascreen, Goodneighbour reverse, Stratco fence panel) so both sides know what they are getting
- Hot-dipped galvanised steel posts set in concrete, footing depth named for the soil
- Top, middle and bottom rails called out at the chosen height
- Genuine BlueScope Colorbond sheet, the warranty registered to your address at handover
- Salt-grade fasteners (hot-dipped galvanised or stainless) on any block inside the coastal exposure zone
- Old-fence removal, posts pulled or cut off at concrete, tip fees each their own line
- A 10-year warranty on posts and footings, in writing, alongside the BlueScope materials warranty
A Colorbond fence done honestly sits in the middle of the per-metre range, not the bottom, and the cost difference between two Colorbond quotes splits on the sheet (real Colorbond or a look-alike), the post (steel set in concrete or knocked-in), and the fixing grade. We make all three plain on the quote so you can compare like for like.
Priced by the metre, itemised line by line.
The metres, the height and the material named, the post type and footing depth, gates, old-fence removal, and the boundary note if it is a dividing fence. Not one round number for a fence.
- 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
What happens, step by step.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The paperwork behind the price.
Public liability to $20M, and a 10-year posts & footings, all in writing, all on request.
We hold a QBCC fencing licence in Queensland and a NSW Fair Trading licence across the border, and we carry public liability insurance, so you are covered on site. The guarantee is a 10-year written warranty on the posts and footings, the part that fails first, plus the genuine Colorbond and BlueScope manufacturer materials warranty where the fence is steel. All in writing, with exclusions named.
