Colorbond fencing doesn’t have to look plain.
With different colours, sheet profiles, capping options, and custom layouts, you can make a Colorbond fence look unique or better suited to your property.
Below are 5 Colorbond fencing design ideas, with photos and examples to help you choose a style for your own fence.

1. Mixed Colorbond Colours for Posts, Tracks and Sheets
One simple way to make a Colorbond fence stand out is to use different colours for the sheets, posts, or tracks.
For example, you could use Woodland Grey for the posts and tracks.
Then use a lighter colour for the sheets, such as Surfmist or Shale Grey.
This keeps the fence simple, but gives it more contrast than a standard single-colour finish.
2. Exposed Posts for a Framed Post & Rail Look
Post & Rail fencing is usually built so the sheets are the main feature from the front.
For a more framed look, the posts can be made more visible, creating a style that looks closer to Good Neighbour fencing while still keeping the strength of a Post & Rail structure.
This type of layout needs to be planned properly, because it changes how the fence is built.
3. Contrasting Capping for a Custom Finish
Capping for fencing is like icing on the cake.
Most people match the capping to the rest of the fence because that’s the standard look.
But using a contrasting colour can create a unique custom finish.
For example, using light fence sheets with darker capping can make the top line stand out, similar to the image above.
4. Choose Your Colorbond Fence Sheet Profile
Colorbond fences come in many different sheet profiles, and the profile you select will impact the overall look of the fence.
Trimdek / Superdeck is the most common choice, but you can also choose profiles such as:
- Corrugated
- Wavelok
- Smartspan
- CGI Mini
Some profiles look sharper and more modern, while others give a more classic corrugated finish.
5. Different Colours on Each Side of the Fence
If you and your neighbour prefer different colours, Colorbond sheets can be ordered with a different colour on each side.
This allows you to have one colour facing your property, while your neighbour has a different colour facing theirs.
Because this requires custom powdercoated sheets, it will cost more than standard Colorbond fencing and may take longer to organise.
If you’re considering this option, it’s best to discuss it early when planning the fence.
