Whether you're looking for a barrier for your front or back garden, Colorbond fencing makes an excellent choice. Designed for and tested in Australian conditions, it suits our local climate. Consider further other advantages of installing these structures around your home.

Durable

Colorbond fences consist of steel sheeting, covered with protective layers of metallic-alloys and baked-on paint. These films shield the inner metal from rust and corrosion caused by exposure to moisture and air. Unlike timber, these fences won't harbour termite infestations that compel you to spread harmful chemicals around the garden. You also won't need to worry about palings loosening and falling off as the metal comes in large sheets that attach securely to the posts. Metal also forms a safe fire-resistant boundary that won't become a hazard in a bushy area.

Colour Variety

Colorbond fences are available in a range of hues such as grey, pink, green, and beige. You can create different looks by mixing and matching the steel sheets with contrasting rails, posts, and caps. For example, combine dark charcoal metal with pale pinky-fawn posts. Or else, create a two-toned fence combining dark and light brown. You can embellish the structure with lattice attachments along the fence top also.

Private

Colorbond fences don't have gaps between the rails as do tubular metal or picket styles. They thus form private barriers, and fencing contractors can install them in the front and back yard. Unlike a traditional timber paling fence, Colorbond looks beautiful on both sides, which your neighbours will appreciate. By installing a private rather than an open fence around your front garden, you can reclaim the area and use it for socialising or relaxing, and children and pets can safely play with the help of a secure gate.

Eco Friendly

Steel is 100% recyclable, and so in installing a Colorbond fence, you're helping the environment. The wall you install likely contains recycled content. Plus, after the fencing has protected your home for decades, it can be recycled again to contribute to other metal objects. Recycling uses less energy than mining minerals to produce new steel. And using less energy helps the environment as energy production often burns fossil fuels and releases harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Thus, Colorbond fences are ideal for the home. Creating privacy, these barriers can enclose both your front and back yard. They come in a range of lovely colours, which you can mix and match when choosing the posts and rails. As well, Colorbond endures all the elements with the benefit of advanced coatings — plus, steel is recyclable.
