How much does Colorbond fencing cost?
As a general guide, Colorbond fencing installation typically starts at $125 per metre, depending on fence height, site access, ground conditions and fence design. Steeper blocks, tight access areas or complex boundaries can increase installation time and material handling, which is reflected in the overall price. We always provide a free on-site inspection so you receive an accurate, fixed quotation based on your specific property rather than a rough estimate.
Is Colorbond fencing better than timber fencing?
Both options have their place, but they perform very differently over time. Colorbond fencing is a steel system, which means it does not suffer from issues like rot, warping, shrinking, or termite damage. It also maintains consistent gaps and alignment, and never requires painting or sealing. For most homeowners looking for a long-term, low-maintenance solution, Colorbond is the preferred option. Timber fencing, on the other hand, offers a more natural appearance and can suit certain home styles. However, it requires ongoing maintenance such as painting, sealing or replacement of damaged boards over time, particularly in exposed weather conditions. In short: Colorbond = long-term durability and low maintenance Timber = natural look but ongoing upkeep required
How long does Colorbond fencing last?
When installed correctly using genuine BlueScope Steel materials and properly constructed concrete footings, Colorbond fencing can last for decades with minimal maintenance. One of the most common causes of early fence failure is not the steel itself, but inadequate footing depth or poor concrete installation. If posts are not set deep enough or allowed to properly cure before panels are fixed, movement can occur over time, especially in high-wind conditions or reactive soils. Proper installation is what ensures the fence remains straight, stable and durable long-term.
Can soft soil affect a Colorbond fence installation in Emu Plains?
Ground conditions can vary from property to property, and during one of our Emu Plains installations we encountered softer soil that required deeper post footings than normal. We assess each site as we work and adjust our installation methods where needed, helping to provide the strength and long-term stability every Colorbond fence should have.
Our Experience Fencing in Emu Plains
During one of our Emu Plains installations we encountered softer-than-expected soil across much of the boundary.
Rather than simply using standard depth footings, we excavated deeper holes and adjusted the installation to suit the site conditions.
Every property is different, which is why we assess ground conditions during installation rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Why Choose Glovers Fencing
A quality fence starts long before the panels are installed. At Glovers Fencing, we believe the strength, appearance and longevity of every fence comes down to the care taken during installation, not shortcuts taken to finish the job faster.
Every post is installed using appropriately sized concrete footings to provide long-term strength and stability. Rather than rushing to complete a fence on the same day, we allow adequate time for the concrete to cure before installing the rails and sheets, helping to ensure the posts remain secure, straight and properly aligned for years to come.
We take care to position every post accurately, maintain consistent panel heights and achieve clean, straight fence lines that not only look professional but also contribute to the fence's long-term performance.
From your initial measure and quote through to the final inspection, our focus is on honest advice, quality workmanship and building Colorbond fences that are made to withstand Australian conditions while enhancing the appearance, privacy and security of your property for many years to come.
We also install Colorbond fencing throughout nearby Cranebrook, Leonay, Penrith, Kingswood and Jamisontown.
