Colorbond Fencing Strathfield
Colorbond fencing in Strathfield, kept to the side and rear boundaries where a solid steel fence gives privacy without touching the character streetscape.
Colorbond Fencing in Strathfield
Strathfield is a suburb of deep blocks, mature gardens and homes that people are careful about. Very few owners here want steel at the front, and council has clear expectations about what happens on a street frontage in the older parts of the suburb. What they do want is a boundary down the side and across the back that is solid, quiet and low maintenance.
That is where Colorbond earns its place. Behind the front building line it disappears into hedging and garden beds within a season, gives complete privacy from the neighbouring block, and needs nothing more than an occasional hose down. On the larger Strathfield gardens we often run 2.1m along a rear boundary shared with a unit block or a two-storey extension, and pair it with a matching gate onto a rear lane.
We are happy to walk the garden with you and mark where the steel should start behind the frontage, then quote it in writing. Call 0492 879 796 to book a free measure.

Colorbond Fencing Strathfield FAQs
Can I put a Colorbond fence across the front of my Strathfield home?
Generally we advise against it and council rules usually limit it. Strathfield Council controls fencing forward of the building line, and in the older streets a solid metal front fence is out of character and often requires approval. The practical approach most owners take is a low masonry or timber picket frontage that suits the house, with the Colorbond starting behind the front building line and running down the sides and across the rear.
What height gives real privacy from a two-storey neighbour?
A 1.8m fence stops anyone seeing in at ground level, but it will not block a first floor window. For that we go to 2.1m, which is the tallest standard height, and often add a 300mm slat extension on top. On a Strathfield block with a deep garden, positioning matters as much as height, so screen planting a metre inside the fence usually does more than another 300mm of steel.
Which colours suit an older Strathfield home?
Basalt and Monument are the two that work best against period brickwork because they read almost like shadow behind planting. Woodland Grey is a good choice where the garden is heavily planted. Jasper picks up warm tones in tuckpointed red brick. Surfmist is rarely used here because a light fence draws the eye rather than receding, which is the opposite of what most Strathfield owners want.
Who pays when the neighbour is a unit block?
The same rules apply. The NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991 treats the owners corporation of a strata scheme as the adjoining owner, so the cost of a standard dividing fence is shared. The difference is process, because the fencing notice goes to the owners corporation through the strata manager and may need to wait for a committee decision. Allow extra time for that and get your quote in writing early.
Is colourbond too industrial looking for Strathfield?
Behind the building line it very rarely reads that way. Colourbond, or Colorbond as BlueScope spell it, comes in muted garden colours like Woodland Grey and Basalt that sit back against foliage, and the flat sheet profile is far less busy than a paling fence with visible rails. It is the front boundary, not the side and rear, where a traditional material usually belongs in this suburb.
