Fencing Hornsby NSW

1.8 m Colorbond steel fencing in Ironstone or Woodland Grey is the most installed fence type across Hornsby, followed by hardwood paling fences for character homes on Old Pacific Highway and similar streets. In bushland-interface streets, Colorbond is strongly preferred as it meets BAL-rated construction requirements better than timber in most classifications.

Yes. Hornsby Shire Council has significant tree protection provisions under its DCP. Post holes within the Tree Protection Zone (usually 12× the trunk diameter) of a significant tree require either council approval or an arborist report confirming no root damage. We identify nearby significant trees during the site measure and plan post positions to avoid protected root zones.

Front fencing in Hornsby's heritage conservation areas — such as parts of Hornsby Heights and Normanhurst — requires a Development Application and must be sympathetic to the heritage character. This typically means open-style timber picket or cast iron designs rather than solid Colorbond or timber paling. We can advise on heritage-appropriate materials and prepare a DA application if required.

Sloped blocks in Hornsby are priced based on the degree of slope, the fence type and the need for retaining boards or retaining walls at the base. A standard Colorbond fence on a block with a 300 mm fall across the boundary typically costs 15–25% more than a level block due to additional materials and labour for stepped installation. We itemise all slope-related costs in our quotes.
