What the Mile End South site visit looks at
Mile End South is 2.61 km west of the Adelaide CBD and inside the 60 km service area.

Questions from Mile End South
Fencing in Mile End South — FAQs
Do you cover Mile End South for fencing?
Mile End South 5031 is serviced, about 2.61 km west of the CBD and inside the 60 km area. Pricing follows a site visit.
How deep should fence posts go?
Set posts about a third of the fence height deep as a baseline and never shallower than 600 mm, all in concrete. Sites with exposure or reactive soil need more. It is the one part of the fence that cannot be adjusted later.
Can a fence sit on top of a retaining wall?
That is common practice on a sloping site. Posts are carried down through the wall or set on plinths so the fence is fixed to the wall rather than resting beside it, and the wall and fence go into the quote as one scope.
What height can a fence be?
Boundary fences are built to the no-approval limit set by council; taller ones, or those in a character zone, are checked first. Height is confirmed at quoting so the fence is not constructed twice.
