What changes the price on your fence
The ranges above are the starting point. These factors move a quote up or down within (or outside) those bands.
- Material, aluminium and treated pine cheapest, Colorbond mid, hardwood and glass premium.
- Height, 1.8m standard; 2.1m and pool-height add panels and posts.
- Ground, flat clay is straightforward; rocky volcanic blocks need rock-augering.
- Slope, stepped or raked panels add labour over a flat run.
- Removal, taking out and disposing of an old fence adds to a replacement job.
Red flags, what to watch for in fencing quotes
If a quote you have received contains one of these, ask before signing.
- Coastal-spec shallow footings in Orange, the fence will lean within a few frosty winters.
- Untreated or H3 posts in the ground, use H4 or galvanised steel or it rots out early.
- Pool fence quoted without reference to AS 1926.1, it may fail inspection.
- No allowance for rock on a volcanic block, expect a variation mid-job.
- Cash, no written quote, no warranty and nothing for the neighbour Fencing Notice.
