Colorbond fencing in Catherine Field, covering both the new release lots and the acreage blocks that are still waiting their turn.
Catherine Field is a suburb in the middle of changing from paddocks to streets. On one block there is a brand new home with a bare pad and survey pegs, and directly behind it a holding that has not been touched in decades. Fencing here often has to bridge those two worlds on the same boundary.
New lots get the standard treatment done properly. We set out from the pegs, check the estate design guidelines for where solid fencing may start on a corner, and build in a colour that suits the facade. Boundaries facing a paddock or a vacant holding get a heavier post layout, because until the neighbouring block is developed there is nothing at all to slow the wind and a solid fence takes the full load.
One measure, one fixed written quote, and a start date confirmed before the steel is ordered. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free measure.
Complete side and rear boundary packages for new Catherine Field homes.
Heavier post layouts where the neighbouring holding is still open ground.
Secondary street returns built to the estate rule on where solid fencing can begin.
Short stepped sections where the building pad next door was cut at another level.
Sleepers or a concrete plinth under the panels where the ground falls or has been filled.
Wide double gates so a trailer or caravan can be parked behind the building line.
Plenty of Catherine Field owners do, mainly for dogs, children and dust. The two things to get right are the boundary line and the wind. Without an existing fence to follow, we set out from the registered survey marks so the fence is not sitting inside your land or over the neighbours. And because open ground offers no shelter, we use a tighter post spacing than a standard suburban run.
The NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991 does not exempt vacant land, so the owner of the adjoining block is generally liable for a share of a sufficient dividing fence. The practical step is to serve a written fencing notice on the registered owner with the quote attached and keep a copy. Around Catherine Field that owner may be a development company, and responses can be slow, so allow time before assuming they will not contribute.
Where the building pad next door was cut or filled to a different level, the fence needs a base that copes with the step. For a small difference a concrete plinth under the sheet line is enough. For a larger one we install treated sleepers between the posts to hold the higher ground. The fence itself is not engineered as a retaining wall, so if the difference is significant a proper retaining structure comes first.
Check the estate design guidelines first, since some limit the palette. Within that, Monument is by far the most requested because it matches the dark roofs and window frames used across the Camden area estates. Basalt reads slightly softer, Woodland Grey suits warmer render, and Surfmist works on the lighter facades. All are genuine BlueScope colours.
Around the house yard, definitely. Colourbond, which BlueScope spell Colorbond, gives full privacy, keeps dogs contained and needs no painting, which matters when the nearest boundary is a long way from the tap. For the outer paddock boundaries of a larger Catherine Field holding, wire is still the practical and economical choice, and many properties end up with both.
