Why Fencing Quotes Vary
Fencing quotes can differ by 50% or more for the same project. Understanding the cost drivers helps you compare quotes fairly. See our fencing cost guide for Perth-specific pricing.
Key Cost Factors
1. Material (Colorbond cheapest, glass most expensive). 2. Height (standard 1.8m vs custom heights). 3. Access for machinery and materials. 4. Demolition of existing fence. 5. Ground conditions (rock adds significant cost). 6. Gates (automatic gates add $1,000-$3,000 each).
Shared Costs
Under WA’s Dividing Fences Act, boundary fencing costs are typically split 50/50 with neighbours. This effectively halves your cost. See our boundary fencing rights guide for details.
