Colorbond Fencing Greystanes
Colorbond fencing across Greystanes, built for big established blocks, reactive clay soil and boundaries that fall away toward Prospect.
Colorbond Fencing in Greystanes
Greystanes blocks are generous by Sydney standards and most of the homes date from the 1960s through the 1980s. The fences that came with them were hardwood paling, and after fifty years of shrink and swell in the local clay there is not much left holding them up. Owners here usually replace an entire boundary at once rather than patching, because the whole run has aged together.
Clay is the thing to plan for. The soil through Greystanes swells when it is wet and shrinks hard in a dry summer, which pushes and pulls at any post that has not been set deep enough. We dig deeper than the minimum, use a properly sized footing and let the concrete cure before the panels go on. Cutting that short is exactly why so many fences in this area develop a lean within a few years.
We measure, note the fall and the soil conditions, then send a fixed written quote covering removal, footings, panels and gates. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free measure.

Colorbond Fencing Greystanes FAQs
Why do fences lean in Greystanes?
Reactive clay. The soil through Greystanes expands when saturated and contracts hard in a dry spell, and that movement works on any post that is not deep enough or that sits in an undersized footing. Timber posts also rot at the ground line, which makes it worse. We dig deeper than the minimum, size the footing to the post and the fence height, and let the concrete cure properly before loading it with panels.
How long does a full boundary replacement take?
On a typical Greystanes block we spend the first day removing the old fence and setting posts, then return to sheet the run and hang gates once the footings have cured. Larger blocks with long rear boundaries can take a second day for the strip out. We give you the schedule in writing with the quote and let you know the day before we arrive so the yard and pets can be sorted.
Should the neighbour pay half?
For a standard dividing fence, yes, that is the default position under the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991. The starting point is a fencing notice, which is a written proposal naming the fence, the contractor and the price. On the bigger Greystanes blocks the runs are long, so the total is higher than a small lot and it is worth having the conversation early rather than after you have committed.
Which colours work with 1970s brick homes?
Jasper is a warm brown that flatters the brown and red brick used through Greystanes. Woodland Grey is the safe neutral and disappears behind established shrubs. Basalt and Monument look sharp where a home has been rendered or re-roofed in charcoal. Surfmist is the lightest option but shows dust more on a long rear boundary.
Do you take the old fence away when installing colourbond?
Yes, removal and disposal is included. On Greystanes blocks the old hardwood posts are usually set in large concrete plugs that we break out rather than cut off, because leftover footings interfere with the new post spacing. Everything is loaded and taken to a licensed facility, so the only thing left behind is the new fence, whether you call it colourbond or Colorbond.
