Security Perimeter Fencing

Security Fencing Specialists Working in Sydney

Ask three contractors for security fencing in Sydney and you may get three different answers. The difference usually comes down to whether anyone has looked at access constraints that vary from a wide western verge to an inner-west rear lane before pricing the job.

Most security fencing enquiries we take in Sydney come from the same place: a perimeter that can be climbed at the gate even though the fence line is sound. It is worth understanding why that happens here before deciding what to replace it with.

The security fencing we install around Sydney has to deal with reactive shale clay in the west, sandstone and sand through the coast and north and with the full spread of Sydney housing, from Victorian terrace to new release estate. Those two things between them explain most of what we recommend and most of what we advise against.

Common Problems We Are Called To Fix

We have been doing security fencing across Sydney long enough to know which streets throw up surprises. The one that catches people out most often is coastal salt exposure on one side of the city and cracking clay on the other.

• Corrosion starting at welds and cut ends on an ungalvanised perimeter
• A boundary that no longer meets an insurer or client requirement
• A perimeter that can be climbed at the gate even though the fence line is sound
• Gates that have dropped and can be lifted off their track

Regulation and Compliance in Sydney

Before anything is fabricated for a Sydney property, we check what applies. the relevant local council publishes its controls, and heritage, bushfire and flood mapping can each change the answer entirely.

We can tell you what usually applies around Sydney, and we will always recommend confirming the current position with the relevant local council before you commit. Controls change, and a wrong assumption is expensive to unwind.

How the Work Is Sequenced

Services are located before excavation, every time. Around Sydney the older streets carry runs that are not where the plans say they are, and a strike is expensive for everyone.

Our sequence on a Sydney job is the same every time: check services, confirm the boundary, set the footings out, cure properly, then build. Skipping the cure is the shortcut that shows up in year three.

• Hot dip galvanised and powder coated finishes
• Topping details where required
• Anti-tamper fixings throughout
• Sliding and swing vehicle gates
• Palisade fencing with pointed or rounded tops
• Welded mesh panel systems

Types of Security Fencing for Sydney Properties

Materials, Fixings and Finishes

Colour and finish choice around Sydney tends to follow the streetscape more than personal taste, particularly on blocks where you are working with ground conditions that change completely between one side of the basin and the other.

The parts you cannot see once the job is finished are the parts worth paying for: footings, drainage, fixings and substructure. That is as true in Sydney as anywhere.

• A small aperture defeats climbing and cutting because there is no foothold and no room to get a bolt cutter jaw around a wire.
• A duplex system, galvanising plus powder coat, is specified where the perimeter is both exposed and visible.
• Hot dip galvanising after fabrication coats the cut ends and welds, which is where an untreated perimeter fails first.
• 358 mesh takes its name from the imperial aperture, three inches by half an inch by eight gauge, which is why the aperture is quoted as 76.2 by 12.7mm.
• Any perimeter with automation needs the gate designed around the drive from the beginning rather than retrofitted.
