Why So Many People Choose Colorbond
Colorbond steel is the most common choice for new boundary fences in regional NSW, and for good reason. It goes up quickly, looks tidy for years and needs almost nothing from you once it's in.
A Colorbond fence is made of pre-painted steel sheets slotted between steel posts and rails. There is no timber to rot at ground level, nothing for termites to eat and no staining or painting. Muswellbrook's hot summers, frosty winters, strong westerly winds and shrinking and swelling clay soils test every fence post. Steel copes with that well, as long as the posts are set properly.
The standard height for a back or side boundary is 1.8 m, and there are lower options for front fences and taller options where privacy or a slope calls for it. Most fencers carry the popular colours, and you can match the fence to your roof or gutters. Call 02 5562 4315 if you'd like a fencer to measure up.
If you are replacing an old fence, the fencer will usually remove it first. Old fibro fences are a special case because they contain asbestos. See fence repairs and replacement.

How a Colorbond Fence Goes Up
Every job is a little different, but most follow the same steps. Knowing them helps you compare quotes.
Measure and Quote
The fencer walks the fence line, checks levels and access, talks through colours and heights and gives you a written quote.
Agree It With the Neighbour
For a dividing fence, the colour on each side, the height and the cost split are agreed before anything is ordered.
Old Fence Out
The old fence is pulled out and taken away, unless you have arranged otherwise. Fibro fences need a licensed asbestos removalist.
Posts Concreted In
Steel posts are set in concrete along a string line at the right spacing. This is the part that decides how straight and strong the fence will be.
Rails and Sheets
Once the concrete has set, the rails go on and the sheets slide into place. Plinths are added where the ground drops away.
Gates and Clean Up
Gates are hung and adjusted, offcuts are taken away, and you check the finished fence before final payment.

Colorbond Fencing Questions
How long does a Colorbond fence last?
A well-built Colorbond fence often lasts 20 years or more. Keep soil, mulch and garden beds from piling up against the sheets, because constant damp at the base is what shortens their life.
Can each side be a different colour?
Yes. Many fencers can supply sheets with a different colour on each side, which helps when neighbours can't agree. It may cost a little more, so ask when you get the quote.
Will it stand up to strong winds?
A solid steel fence catches the wind, so post depth, post spacing and footings matter. A good fencer allows for your site, especially on exposed blocks. If you are worried, ask how deep the posts will go.
Is Colorbond a good choice on bushfire prone land?
Steel doesn't burn, so non-combustible fencing such as Colorbond is often recommended near homes on bushfire prone land. Your fencer or council can tell you if any particular rules apply to your block.
