Fencing Installation Overview
Before you commence
- Check council regulations regarding boundary fencing
- Before you dig, check for underground services (electrical, communications, plumbing)
- Identify your soil type; this will determine the concrete you need for post footings.
- Ensure you have the correct tools and components
Consider installation type
- If the ground is not level over the area of fence installation, the fence will need to be raked or stepped.
- Depending on the wind category of your region, the end/s will also need to be tapered over the past two panels

Frequently Asked Questions
COLORBOND® fencing performs exceptionally well in terms of durability, weather resistance, fire resistance, stylish design and colour options, ease of installation, visual privacy, and security. It is a cost-effective, sustainable, high-quality fencing material choice.
While these fences and gates may seem expensive at the outset when compared with other materials or cheaper product options, they more than pay for themselves over time in terms of performance, durability, strength, longevity, ease of maintenance, and enduring style. This represents long-term value and savings and is a budget-friendly option when considered over the life of the fence/gate.
Yes! Add a gate to an existing opening in your fence, or cut a section from the fence, install new COLORBOND® fence posts, trim existing fence rails and sheets to fit the new opening, and reassemble the fence around the new gate. This could be a DIY project – or leave it to a professional fencing installer for perfect results.
COLORBOND® gates in Australia are available in the same 15 colour options as for COLORBOND® fencing sheets. Components may be mixed and matched to personalise and complement your look – explore here.
