Why Choose Good Neighbour?
Good Neighbour is a Colorbond fencing system designed to look the same on both sides.
The sheets slide into tracks between the posts, so there is no obvious “good side” or “bad side” of the fence. This makes it a popular choice for shared boundary fences between neighbours.
The panels create a visual block between properties, making it a strong option for backyard privacy.
Good Neighbour fencing works well if you want:
- Clean Colorbond finish on both sides
- Full privacy between properties
- Modern replacement for old timber fencing
- Low-maintenance fence
- Neat option for shared boundaries
It’s one of the most common fencing choices across Adelaide because it’s clean-looking and avoids the issue of one neighbour getting the “bad side” of a fence.

Good Neighbour Fence Colours and Styles
Good Neighbour fencing comes in a wide range of Colorbond colours, sheet profiles, and finish options.
Popular Colorbond colours in Adelaide include:
- Monument
- Woodland Grey
- Paperbark
- Surfmist
- Basalt
- Dover White
Colour doesn’t affect the total price, so it comes down to the look you want for your new fence.
Sheet Profiles
The sheet profile determines the look of the panels more than anything else.
Common Good Neighbour sheet profiles include:
- Superdeck / Trimdek
- CGI Corrugated
- CGI Mini
- Smartspan
- Wavelok
Some profiles look more modern and sharp, while others have a more classic corrugated finish.
We can even help you choose one when quoting the job!
Here’s a quick image comparison between the popular Superdeck option, and the CGI mini:
Stepped, Sloped, and Tapered Ends
Good Neighbour fencing can be adjusted to suit different ground levels.
- Stepped fencing steps up or down in sections, similar to stairs.
- Sloped fencing follows the angle of the ground more closely.
- Tapered ends gradually reduce the fence height near the end of the run for a cleaner finish.
This is useful for sloped blocks, uneven ground, or areas where the fence needs to transition neatly into another section or height.
P.S…
Anything that affects the finished appearance of the fence will be discussed with you before we proceed…
Extensions and Toppers
Fence extensions and toppers can be added if you want extra height, more privacy, or a different finished look.
The main options include screen tops and slat-style toppers.
These are not needed for every fence, but they can work well if you want extra privacy without replacing the entire fence height.
Sleepers / Plinths Under Good Neighbour Fencing
Sleepers or concrete plinths are not always required under a Good Neighbour fence, but they’re commonly used when the ground is uneven or if there would otherwise be large gaps under the fence.
They can help:
- Reduce gaps under the fence
- Create a cleaner finished height
- Handle uneven ground
- Support small amounts of soil
- Improve the finished look
Concrete plinths usually add around $55 per metre to the quote, depending on the job.
(We’ll only recommend plinths if they’re actually needed for the site, or if you specifically want them.)
See the comparison below of a Good Neighbour fence with and without plinths underneath:

Good Neighbour vs Post & Rail
Good Neighbour and Post & Rail are both Colorbond fencing options, but they’re slightly different.
With Good Neighbour fencing:
The sheets slide into tracks between the posts, creating a clean finish on both sides of the fence.
With Post & Rail fencing:
The sheets are screwed into rails, and those rails are supported by posts along the fence line. This gives the fence a stronger framed structure, but one side will show the posts and rails.
In summary:
If you want both sides of the fence to look the same, Good Neighbour fencing is the better choice.
If you want a stronger framed fence for a tougher site or custom layout, Post & Rail fencing may be worth considering.
