A fence is the largest single visual element on most blocks, and the difference between a fence that reads as architecture and one that reads as infrastructure is entirely in the setting out — straight lines, consistent heights, posts that stay plumb.
We build 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, every time, at depths matched to fence height and wind loading.
Whether it's a shared boundary replacement under SA's fences legislation or a feature screen fronting the street, the build follows the sequence below.
Straight lines that stay straight
A fence reads as a single line — one leaning panel ruins a hundred metres. Posts go into concrete at depths matched to our soils and wind zone, strung and sighted before a single panel hangs. Colorbond for low-maintenance boundaries, steel-framed gates that don't sag, and timber or slat where the street front deserves better than a catalogue look.
On boundary work we're straight about the Fences Act: notice to neighbours, shared costs and honest scoping before work starts, so the fence doesn't cost you the relationship over it.

Fencing — FAQs
How do shared fence costs work in South Australia?
Under the Fences Act 1975 (SA), neighbours generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. The process starts with a Form 1 notice describing the proposed work and cost; if your neighbour wants a more expensive fence than 'sufficient', they pay the difference. We provide itemised quotes formatted so they can be attached directly to the notice.
Colorbond or timber?
Colorbond is termite-proof, warranty-backed and even on both sides, at a mid-range price. Timber paling remains the cheapest boundary option and takes screening plants well; capped and stained timber or slat systems sit at the premium end for street-facing runs. On sloped ground, Colorbond steps cleanly while timber can be raked to follow the grade.
How deep should fence posts go?
Our standard is one third of fence height in the ground, minimum 600 mm, in concrete — deeper on exposed or reactive sites. Most leaning fences in Adelaide failed because posts were set shallow in soil or dry-mix; it's the one part of a fence you can't fix later without rebuilding.
