What Wayville is built on
Before anything is priced in Wayville
Wayville is 2.01 km south-west of the Adelaide CBD and inside the 60 km service area. Access to the work area, what sits under the existing surface, and how the block drains are all checked at the address before anything is priced. What is in the post line and how deep the posts have to go decide whether the fence stays straight.
How it goes
From first cut to handover in Wayville
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.

Why AOI
The same team scopes and builds it

Questions from Wayville
Fencing in Wayville — FAQs
Do you cover Wayville for fencing?
Yes, Wayville 5034 is in our area, roughly 2.01 km south-west of the CBD and inside the 60 km radius. We price after inspecting the block.
How do shared fence costs work in South Australia?
In South Australia the Fences Act generally has neighbours share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence, with any upgrade beyond sufficient paid by the owner requesting it. Itemised quotes accompany the notice.
Colorbond or timber?
For a Wayville boundary, Colorbond gives an even, termite-resistant, low-upkeep fence at mid price; paling timber is the budget route and takes planting well; capped or stained timber and slat screens are the premium finish.
How deep should fence posts go?
Posts should sit about a third of the fence height in the ground, and not less than 600 mm, concreted in, deeper where the site is exposed or the soil reactive. That buried length is the fence's foundation.
