Fencing Perth — Colorbond, Timber & Aluminium
Get connected with licensed fencing contractors across Perth. Boundary fences, pool fencing, front fences, and gates -- all compliant with WA regulations.
Fencing Options for Perth
Fencing defines your property boundaries, provides privacy and security, and must comply with WA regulations. Perth homeowners have several proven options, each suited to different needs and budgets.
Colorbond is Perth's go-to for boundary fencing -- durable, low maintenance, and termite-proof. Timber fencing offers a warmer aesthetic and works well for feature fences. Aluminium slat fencing provides a modern look with partial visibility, and glass pool fencing meets WA pool barrier requirements while maintaining sight lines.

Perth-Specific Considerations
WA Dividing Fences Act: This Act governs cost sharing for boundary fences between neighbours. Both parties generally share costs equally for a "sufficient fence" (1.8m Colorbond or timber). Disputes can be resolved through the Magistrates Court.
Pool fencing compliance: WA has strict pool barrier requirements with annual inspections. Non-compliant fencing carries fines up to $5,000. If you have a pool, ensure your fencing contractor understands current WA pool barrier standards.
Sandy soil posts: Perth sand requires deeper post holes (typically 600mm) with concrete footings to ensure fence stability. Some contractors use longer posts rather than concrete in deep sand, but concrete footings remain the standard for Colorbond.
Coastal corrosion: In coastal Perth suburbs, standard Colorbond handles salt spray well, but gate hardware and fixings should be marine-grade stainless steel to prevent premature corrosion.
