Colorbond Fencing Bankstown
Colorbond fencing throughout Bankstown, from replacing worn boundary fences on postwar blocks to dividing new duplex and granny flat yards.
Colorbond Fencing in Bankstown
Bankstown has two fencing markets running side by side. There are the original postwar homes on generous blocks where the boundary fence has been repaired so many times that half of it is a different material, and there are the duplexes, townhouses and granny flats that have gone up on those same blocks over the last fifteen years.
The new builds need internal divisions as much as boundaries. Splitting a battle-axe yard between a granny flat and the main house, or running a fence down the centre of a duplex site, needs the line to be exactly right and the fence to look deliberate rather than added on. On the older boundaries the work is more about demolition, because there are usually deep concrete footings and a mix of paling, iron and wire to clear before anything new goes in.
Whichever job it is, we measure on site, confirm the line and issue a fixed written quote before ordering steel. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free measure.

Colorbond Fencing Bankstown FAQs
Can you fence between a granny flat and the main house?
Yes, that is one of our most common Bankstown jobs. An internal division is not a dividing fence under the Act because it does not sit on a property boundary, so there is no neighbour to consult and no notice required. We usually build these at 1.8m with a lockable gate so both households keep their own private yard while retaining access to the meter or the clothesline.
How do I split the cost of a boundary fence in Bankstown?
Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991 the two adjoining owners normally contribute equally to a standard dividing fence. Start with a fencing notice, which is a written proposal setting out the fence, the contractor and the amount. Around Bankstown a fair number of properties are tenanted, so it is worth confirming who the actual owner is before serving the notice, otherwise it can sit with an agent and go nowhere.
What height should I choose?
Most Bankstown side and rear boundaries go in at 1.8m. We install 2.1m where privacy is the main driver, such as a yard overlooked by a neighbouring second storey or a townhouse development next door. A 1.5m fence is occasionally used for an internal division or where the owners want to preserve an outlook. Front boundaries are controlled separately by council and are usually kept lower and more open.
Do you remove the old fence and the concrete?
Yes. On older Bankstown blocks the existing posts are often set in very deep concrete plugs, sometimes poured right against a path or slab. We break them out properly instead of cutting the post off at ground level, because leftover footings get in the way of the new post spacing. Everything, including the old paling and any sheet iron, is loaded and taken away.
Is a colourbond fence better than timber here?
For most Bankstown blocks, yes. Colourbond, spelled Colorbond by the manufacturer, is prepainted steel with nothing in the ground that can rot. Timber paling still looks good and is worth considering where the streetscape calls for it, but it needs oiling, it shrinks and gaps appear, and the posts are the first thing to fail. Steel gives full privacy from day one and stays put.
