Colorbond Fencing Smithfield
Colorbond fencing in Smithfield, including the streets that back onto the industrial estate where privacy, security and screening all matter.
Colorbond Fencing in Smithfield
Smithfield is unusual in that a quiet residential street can end at a factory wall. A large part of the suburb borders the industrial estate that runs through to Wetherill Park, so plenty of homes here share a boundary with a workshop, a yard or a truck route rather than another back yard.
Those boundaries call for something more substantial than a standard fence. We build them taller, at 2.1m where levels and council allow, to cut sightlines from a raised loading area and reduce the amount of noise and dust that carries over. Gates get heavier hardware, because a gate that faces a laneway or a shared driveway gets used far more than a suburban side gate. On the purely residential streets the work is more familiar, replacing worn paling on 1960s and 1970s blocks.
We measure the boundary, look at what sits on the other side and quote a fixed written price for the whole job. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free measure.

Colorbond Fencing Smithfield FAQs
My Smithfield yard backs onto a factory. What should I build?
Go as tall as the site allows, which is normally 2.1m for a dividing fence, and seal the base with a plinth. That combination cuts the sightline from a raised yard or loading area, keeps windblown dust and rubbish out, and gives a much more solid barrier than paling. If security is the main concern we can also discuss commercial grade options, but for a residential boundary a well built steel fence at full height covers most of it.
Does the business next door have to share the cost?
If the adjoining land is separately owned, the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991 still applies and the owner is generally liable for a share of a sufficient dividing fence. The complication with a Smithfield industrial neighbour is that the occupier is often a tenant and the registered owner may be a company or trust. Serve the fencing notice on the registered owner, attach the quote, and keep a copy of everything.
Will the fence stand up to dust, trucks and industrial exposure?
Genuine Colorbond steel is prepainted at the mill with a system designed for exterior exposure, and the sheeting itself handles dust and grime with a hose down. What matters more on these boundaries is the structure, so we use properly sized footings and closer post spacing where the fence is long or exposed. Physical impact is the real risk near a working site, and individual panels can be replaced without rebuilding the run.
Can you build gates that get heavy daily use?
Yes. A gate onto a laneway or shared driveway in Smithfield can be opened dozens of times a day, and standard residential hardware will not last. We build those with heavier frames, adjustable ball bearing hinges and a proper lockable latch, and on wide double gates a centre drop bolt so the leaves do not flex. Posts for heavy gates get larger footings than the fence line posts.
Is colourbond better than timber for a Smithfield boundary?
For most sites here, yes. Colourbond, spelled Colorbond by BlueScope, has no gaps for dust or noise to travel through, nothing in the ground to rot, and does not need repainting where access to the other side is difficult or impossible. Timber remains a reasonable choice on a purely residential street where the look is what matters most.
