“How much will my fencing project cost?”
“I need this specific fence for XYZ length and height.”
“What’s the price?”
These thoughts come to mind when planning a new fence build.
If you’re looking for a price on your fencing job, we can provide it.
Plain and simple and fast.
Just give us a call, or shoot us a job description using our 30-second “new-fence” quoting system.
This is your next step if you’re at the discussing/scheduling stage of your project.
But if you’re only starting to research fencing, this article explains:
- How fence quotes are priced in Adelaide.
- Broad cost per metre for common fences.
- Hiring contractors Vs. DIY.
- Extra services including in fence quotes.
You’re also about to learn how we provide single, all-inclusive prices for new fences.
We’ll start by breaking down the real meaning of “cost per metre”.
Why There’s No Single “Per Metre” Cost For Fencing In Adelaide
We believe the total price for your project should be clear, and you should know exactly what you’re paying for.
You want a single, straightforward price for your new fence.
But the truth is there’s no standard cost per metre.
Professional fencing isn’t a one-size-fits-all system.
Every job is unique with its own set of challenges and complexities.
The total price of your fence is a calculation based on many factors, including:
- The length of the project
- Height of the proposed fence
- Site conditions
- Ground conditions (how difficult it is to dig)
- Access to the fence site
- How long it will take
This is why you shouldn’t look for a general price per metre, but rather an all-inclusive price for your unique project.
This is exactly what we provide you with at Calabria Fencing!
Fair pricing, tailor-made for your exact scope of work!
Purpose of photos and on-site assessments
As professional fence builders, we visit proposed fencing sites to get an accurate understanding of the job.
During an on-site visit, we can:
- Assess the difficulty of access and the overall site conditions.
- Test the soil conditions along the proposed fence line.
- Discuss the project with you face-to-face
“Is it hard and likely difficult to dig through?”
“Or will it be soft and easier to dig through, but require a deeper hole and more cement for long-term fence stability?”
This is what we’re thinking of during site visits.
It’s the only way for us to guarantee an accurate fence price for your project.
Adelaide Fencing Cost Guide For 2025
Although final quotes require an assessment of your specific project, it doesn’t hurt to have a basic pricing guide as a starting point.
The table below provides a rough price range for common fence types in Adelaide for 2025.
Price Per Metre for Common Fence Types
- COLORBOND Post & rail fencing: $180 – $300+ per metre
- COLORBOND Good neighbour fencing: $200 – $350+ per metre
- Tubular metal fence: $300 – $450+ per metre
- Aluminium Slats: $500 – $700+ per metre
- Timber Slats: $350 – $500+ per metre
- Wood picket fence: $150 – $250+ per metre
- Brush fence: $250 – $400+ per metre
Disclaimer: The prices below are a broad guide only and are intended to give you a rough idea of what to expect. The best way to get an accurate price is by requesting a quote from us and providing your specific details.
Fence Height & Its Impact On Cost
As a general rule, the higher you want your fence, the more expensive it’ll be.
Taller fences need longer panels and posts, and require the holes to be dug deeper for stability, which is more physical labour.
Example,
Good Neighbour fences built at 2.1m high will simply cost more than the same fence built at 1.8m high.
Fence Material Quality & Its Impact On Cost
The quality of your materials plays a major role in the durability of your newly built fence. A cheap fencing quote can mean the builder is using cheap materials to build your fence.
We only use quality Australian-made materials from reputable suppliers.
If you get a quote from us, it will be inclusive of only the best materials.
While this does mean a slightly higher price…
It also means you can count on your new fence to stay intact on the next windy day.
Additional Services That Impact Your Quote
Quotes are primarily for the installation of a new fence.
Many projects require additional services that can be included in your final price. There are sometimes tasks that need completion before a new fence can be built, or sometimes a fence only needs repairs.
Fence Removal Cost Guide
Most new fence installations require the removal of an older fence.
This is an extra service and is listed separately on quotes.
Removal prices cover labour, equipment, and disposal fees.
Just like new fence installs, old fence removals can’t be priced per metre as each job is unique.
The difficulty of post removal plays a major role in the total price.

Fence Repair Cost Guide
Sometimes you don’t need a full fence replacement.
If only a few parts of the fence are damaged, it could just use some repairs. Our most common repair inquiries only involved replacing a few sheets on a Colorbond fence.
In such a case, we charge for:
- The disposal of damaged materials
- New materials,
- Our time to repair.
The best way to get a price for your fence repair in Adelaide is by requesting a quote.
We provide one clear price for all our fence services, including repairs.
“Are Fencing Quotes & On-Site Inspections Free?”
Almost all fencing companies offer free quotes and on-site inspections/assessments.
Meaning, you can understand the cost of your fencing project before handing over any money upfront.
Some larger companies may charge a small call-out fee.
Calabria Fencing offers free quotes and site assessments.
Should You Hire The Cheapest Fencing Contractors?
We all know you pay for what you get,
Accepting the cheapest fencing quote is no different.
If they’re cheap, they’re cheap for a reason.
They could be cutting down on material quality or skilled workers.
Either way, it will lead to a poorly built fence.
You wouldn’t hire the cheapest doctor for heart surgery, right?
Don’t hire the cheapest builder for your home’s long-term privacy and security solution.
Should You Install The Fence Yourself To Save Money? (DIY)
If you’ve got the tools and expertise, go for it.
You can save money by doing the entire job yourself or with some mates.
However,
Going down the DIY route can be frustrating if you’re inexperienced.
It can lead to a fragile fence that has crooked posts and uneven spacing.
Not to mention, it’s easy to make mistakes that could cost even more to repair.
We always recommend hiring a professional if you’re not confident doing it yourself.
