Colorbond fencing for Gledswood Hills, built for estate blocks that sit on graded pads with level changes at almost every boundary.
Gledswood Hills was developed across genuinely hilly ground, and the engineers dealt with that by terracing the lots. The result is a suburb of beautiful views and very few flat boundaries. Walk the back of a block here and you will usually find a step in the ground somewhere along the line, sometimes several.
That means most fences in this suburb are a combination job. Part of the run is a straightforward level section, part of it needs stepping, and part of it needs a base that holds soil back. We work out where each of those starts and finishes during the measure, and set the post heights accordingly so the finished fence looks planned rather than improvised. Where a run sits high on a ridge line we also allow for the wind that comes across the golf course and the open ground beyond.
The measure covers levels, wind exposure and gate positions, and the fixed written quote follows within a couple of days. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free measure.
Boundaries that change level partway along, stepped and based to suit each section.
Treated sleepers between posts where the Gledswood Hills lot next door sits higher.
Tighter post spacing for the elevated boundaries that catch the wind across open ground.
Colour selected from the approved palette to match roof, gutter and window trim.
Solid screening around an outdoor area, separate to the compliant pool barrier itself.
Matching gates with adjustable hinges and drop bolts to suit sloping driveways.
Yes, and it is the normal situation here. We treat the run as separate sections. The level part is built conventionally, the falling part is stepped in even increments, and where the ground on one side is higher we add a base of sleepers or a concrete plinth to hold it. Setting all that out before ordering steel is what stops the finished fence looking like it was patched together.
No, and this is worth being clear about. A fence keeps things in or out, a retaining wall holds ground up, and they are engineered very differently. On a terraced Gledswood Hills lot we can install sleepers under the panels to manage a modest level difference, but where the change is substantial the correct sequence is a properly designed retaining wall first, then the fence on top of it.
Many of the newer releases in the Gledswood Hills and Gregory Hills area include design guidelines that set an approved fencing palette, along with rules about corner lots and how far forward solid fencing may start. Send us the guideline document with your enquiry and we will quote a colour that complies. Monument and Basalt are the two most common approvals in this area.
A solid Colorbond fence can form part of a pool barrier where it sits on the boundary and meets the relevant standard for height and non-climbable zones, but the pool barrier requirements are strict and separate to ordinary fencing rules. Most Gledswood Hills owners keep a compliant glass or aluminium pool barrier around the water and use Colorbond on the boundary behind it for privacy and wind protection.
Very, on the higher parts of this suburb. There is little mature vegetation and open ground beyond the estate, so a solid panel catches a lot of wind. Whether it is described as colourbond or Colorbond, the sheeting is not the weakness, the footings are. On ridge line boundaries we bring the post centres in and increase footing depth so the run stays true through the first few seasons.
