Here are some reviews from our previous clients:
Security, privacy, and clear boundaries matter for both homes and workplaces. A well‑planned fence helps keep front entries organised, screens outdoor areas from the street, and defines space for pets and kids. Good design also supports compliance for pools and commercial access points, which avoids headaches during council inspections. The right layout improves daily use of the property and adds tidy street appeal.
We know Hobart properties inside and out, which means we can plan your fencing project properly from the start. You’ll get quality materials that actually last and look good with your existing setup, not just whatever’s cheapest that week. Our tradeis know what they’re doing and build fences that hold up to real life, whether that’s kids, pets, or Hobart wind. We’ll sort out the council paperwork and compliance side of things so you don’t have to second guess if it’s all above board. When we give you a timeline and price, that’s what you get, no surprise delays or extra costs halfway through.
A licensed contractor knows where your actual boundary lines sit and what the council will and won’t approve, which saves you from expensive mistakes or arguments with neighbours. They’ll get the footings deep enough, posts plumb, and panels fixed properly so your fence doesn’t lean or fall apart after the first storm. The right materials for your soil type, exposure, and how you’ll actually use the space make a huge difference to how long everything lasts and how it looks five years down the track. Plus, a professional keeps your neighbours in the loop and makes sure driveways and gates stay usable while the work’s happening, which matters more than people think.
We help make Hobart streets safer by setting up clear front boundaries so everyone knows where properties start and finish. A well placed fence and gate mean visitors know exactly where to enter, and you can control who comes onto your property without making the place look like a fortress. We work with you to figure out what makes sense for your street, especially around driveways and footpaths where kids and pedestrians pass by. When fences are built right and meet the standards, there are fewer trip hazards and blind spots that cause problems. What you end up with is a street where kids can play safely in their own yards, pets stay contained, and families feel secure enough to actually use their outdoor spaces instead of staying locked inside.
A timber fence gives your backyard proper privacy so you can have weekend barbecues without random people watching from the street. Your dog stays in, and your neighbours get a clean edge to work with when they’re doing their garden. The natural timber look works with pretty much any house style, whether you’ve got an old cottage or something brand new.
Colorbond fencing blocks out the world completely, which means you can do your morning yoga or have coffee on the deck without feeling like you’re on display. When it gets dusty or dirty from garden work, a quick hose down sorts it out. The panels line up nice and tight at corners so there are no gaps or wonky bits along your fence line.
We build pool fencing that meets all the safety rules while still looking good around your pool area. The gates and latches work properly every time, which makes it way easier when you’re keeping an eye on kids in the water. Clean, simple lines mean you can arrange your outdoor furniture and pathways without everything feeling cramped or awkward.
Aluminium slats let light and air through while still providing privacy, making them perfect for when you want to sit outside with a book or have a few friends over. The spacing means you’re not staring at a solid wall but people still can’t see straight into your space. It looks sharp with modern houses and fits in fine with older places too.
We set up commercial fencing that keeps your loading areas separate from where the public walks, so deliveries don’t turn into a mess and visitors know where they’re supposed to go. Solid hardware and clear sight lines keep things running smoothly during the day. The setup handles security after hours without blocking access when your team needs to enter and exit.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions and answers about fencing projects.
Most fence panels are 2.4 metres wide and come in heights of 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m, and 2.1m. The 1.8m height is what most people opt for in backyards because it provides good privacy without requiring council approval in most areas. Check with your local council first though, because front fence height limits are stricter and vary depending on where you live.
Colorbond provides the best privacy, with zero gaps between the sheets, and it lasts for decades with minimal maintenance.
You can paint it, but you’ll void the warranty, and the factory finish lasts significantly longer than any paint job will. If you do paint it, you need proper metal paint, good preparation work, and at least three coats. Even then, it’ll only last 5 to 10 years, compared to the decades you get from the original finish. We generally recommend choosing the right colour from the outset rather than committing to regular repainting down the track.
Colorbond has multiple protective layers that make it highly resistant to rust, but it can still occur if water sits on it constantly or if you’re near the beach. If you’re within a kilometre of the ocean, we recommend Colorbond Ultra steel because salt air is particularly harsh on regular Colorbond.
With proper installation and basic care, you can expect 20 to 30 years or more from Colorbond fencing. It comes with manufacturer warranty coverage for issues such as fading, chipping, and corrosion, and it handles our weather exceptionally well, including high winds and bushfire conditions. The main thing to remember is ensuring it’s installed properly in the first place, because a dodgy installation will cut that lifespan down, regardless of the quality of the materials.
For most backyards, Colorbond at 1.8m or 2.1m offers the best value, providing solid privacy and minimal maintenance. If you want the natural timber look and don’t mind a bit of upkeep, lapped timber palings are your go, though they cost a bit more to install. Coastal properties benefit from premium materials like Colorbond Ultra steel or composite fencing, as they withstand salt spray without deteriorating. Additionally, if you’re in a bushfire zone, this factor should also influence your choice.
Thoughtful fence design frames gardens, tidies frontages, and aligns with neighbouring styles so streets feel connected rather than patchy. Proportions, colours, and gate placement are considered so car parks, paths, and entries read clearly from the road. Consistent detailing helps older and newer properties sit comfortably side by side. The effect is a smarter, more welcoming street without visual clutter.
