What Affects The Cost of Colorbond Fencing?
There’s a lot of technical factors to fence building, many of them listed below. Each of these need to be factored into the final quote.
- Length of the fence: Longer runs generally reduce the cost per metre
- Fence height: Taller fences use more material and take more time
- Site conditions: Rocky ground, tree roots, or tight spaces can slow work down
- Access: If we can’t get materials or equipment in easily, it adds time and effort
- Slopes or uneven ground: Adds difficulty or extra work
- Plinths or sleepers: Often needed for gaps or retaining soil
- Gates or custom sections: Anything outside a straight run adds complexity
Colorbond Fence Prices By Height
Height does affect the fence cost, but the difference isn’t massive.
Most fences in Adelaide are installed at 1.8 metres high.
Other common heights include 2 metres, or 2.1 metres high, with these options being slightly more expensive per metre due to extra material and labour.
Anything higher than 2.1m is custom and usually quoted based on the specific job.
We can recommend the best height option and price it properly for you.
Is Colorbond Fencing More Expensive Than Timber?
Colorbond fencing is generally more expensive than timber.
But timber fencing usually needs ongoing repairs over time. It’s more prone to rot and weather damage, and termites.
Colorbond fencing on the other hand requires very little maintenance, and holds up strong in harsh weather conditions.
Most people end up going with Colorbond because it’s a better long-term option.
Why Choose Colorbond Fencing?
Colorbond fencing has become the go-to option for modern homes in Adelaide.
It provides a clean look and offers full privacy, which is what most of our clients want for their backyard and home boundary.
Compared to older fencing styles, it’s a much more practical solution.
It’s long lasting, and once it’s installed, there’s not much you need to do besides the occasional clean.
That’s why most homeowners end up upgrading to Colorbond at some point.
We’re constantly taking away old wooden fences and replacing with fresh new Colorbond fencing.
What Is Colorbond Fencing?
Colorbond fencing is a steel fencing system commonly used for residential & commercial boundaries in Australia.
It’s made up of steel posts, rails, and sheets that fit together to create a strong fence.
The two most common types are:
- Good Neighbour fencing (double-sided & looks the same on both sides)
- Post & Rail fencing (more structural, often used on sloped or difficult sites)
