How it goes
How a Adelaide fencing job runs
Every job follows the same sequence, and the sequence is what makes the finished work hold up. Timber paling and capped picket fences, Colorbond, aluminium and timber slat screens, and gates that hang true and keep working. Posts are set in concrete at depths matched to fence height and the ground, and old fencing is removed and disposed of.
01
The old fence comes down and the materials are carted off
02
String lines go up and post positions are marked at even centres
03
Post holes are bored to depth along the line
04
Posts are set in concrete, plumbed and braced
05
Rails and cladding are fixed straight and level
06
Capping and gates go on and the gate is checked for swing
What Adelaide is built on
What the Adelaide site visit looks at
Adelaide is 0.01 km north of the Adelaide CBD and inside the 60 km service area. The ground is recorded as ground that moves with the seasons, so what is in the post line and how deep the posts have to go decide whether the fence stays straight. The scope is written from what is measured and seen on site, not from an assumed rate or a photo.

02
Panels that have racked out of square on a slope
03
A boundary where the two sides cannot agree on height or cost
04
Gates that have dropped and no longer latch
05
Old fencing that was never taken away and disposed of
Why AOI
What is included before work starts
Fencing at Adelaide is priced from a written scope that lists what is included before anything is cut, dug or poured. The same team that scopes the work builds it, so the plan that is approved is the plan that gets built.

Questions from Adelaide
Fencing in Adelaide — FAQs
Do you cover Adelaide for fencing?
Yes, Adelaide 5000 effectively sits at the city core, a fraction north of the CBD and far inside the 60 km radius. We look at the actual address first, and the price is based on that visit rather than a phone estimate.
How do shared fence costs work in South Australia?
South Australian law divides a boundary fence between the two owners when it counts as a sufficient dividing fence. A neighbour wanting something grander than sufficient covers the extra themselves. Our quotes are itemised line by line so they can accompany the formal notice.
Colorbond or timber?
On the CBD fringe, Colorbond suits because it is uniform, low-maintenance and untroubled by termites, though it sits in the middle of the price range. Paling timber costs less and can be softened with planting. Screens and capped pickets occupy the upper bracket.
How deep should fence posts go?
Aim for roughly a third of the panel height below ground, never below 600 mm, and always encased in concrete. Windy or reactive spots need more. Post embedment is the one decision that cannot be revisited later without pulling the fence apart.
