Why we love it
Australia’s climate is a Pandora’s box of surprises with most homes subjected to a various array of extremes each season. There’s blistering heat, battering winds, spectacular thunderstorms and pounding hail –  and that’s just in summer!

With such choice now offered, Colorbond fencing is no longer viewed as the sturdy but bland alternative it once was – and for good reason. As part of a landscape design, Colorbond fencing can not only complement but enhance the appearance of your home.

If it’s not your preference then there are other options worthy of consideration. Top of that list for most is timber. Like Colorbond fencing, it has come a long way since its humble origins and is longer limited to timber palings nailed side by side, proving itself a worth accompaniment to the modern Australian home.

For those with a more traditional taste there is wrought iron and picket fencing, while concrete fencing has been transformed from tasteless to chic and is often found bordering inner-city apartment blocks and guarding high-end homes. Brick fencing is another that has come of age but for those seeking an eco-chic option bamboo is a budget friendly alternative.
