Side Fencing Across Sydney

Side Fencing in Sydney is the long run down the side of the block, usually the hardest fence to get to and the one that shows every setting-out error. We have been building across Sydney since 2016, from the western suburbs through to the North Shore, Northern Beaches and Forest District.

Side boundaries are where access problems live. Materials often have to come through a gate barely wider than a wheelbarrow, and the run has to stay dead straight over its full length, so we set out off confirmed corner points rather than measuring off the house.

Conditions change dramatically across Sydney, and so does the right specification — sandy coastal ground, reactive clay on the ridges, sandstone shelf on the harbour slopes and bushfire prone land against the national parks all lead to different answers for the same brief. The breakdown by region is below.

Side Fencing Options

Colorbond Side Boundary

Standard 1.8m Colorbond down the side of the block, the most common Sydney choice.

Timber Paling Side Fence

Treated pine or hardwood palings, lapped or capped, matched to an existing rear fence.

Stepped Side Runs

Panels stepped down a fall so the fence follows the ground without leaving gaps.

Side Gates

Pedestrian and wide side-access gates sized for a mower, bin or trailer.

Narrow Access Installs

Hand-carried installation where no vehicle can reach the fence line.

Side Fence with Screening

Extra height or slat topping where a neighbour's upper floor overlooks the side yard.

Sydney Conditions Change the Specification

Upper North Shore: Upper North Shore side boundaries are long — 40 to 60 metres is normal — and they usually pass mature trees whose root zones dictate where posts can and cannot go.

Lower North Shore: Narrow Lower North Shore side passages are frequently under a metre wide, so material size and delivery sequence have to be planned before the job starts, not discovered on the morning.

Northern Beaches: Side runs on the Beaches often channel wind straight down the block, which is why panel height and post spacing on an exposed side boundary need more thought than the equivalent rear fence.

Forest District: Forest District side boundaries often run from a street frontage right back to bushland, which means the material specification can legitimately change partway along the same fence.

Side Fencing Sydney FAQs

How much does side fencing cost in Sydney?

Side Fencing is quoted on the specifics of the site — material, height or wall face area, ground conditions and access. Because those vary so much across Sydney, we give a fixed written price after a free on-site measure rather than a per-metre figure over the phone.

Where in Sydney do you install side fencing?

Right across the metropolitan area, including the Upper and Lower North Shore, Northern Beaches, Forest District, Hills District, western Sydney, the Sutherland Shire and the Macarthur region.

Do I need council approval for side fencing?

It depends on the scale and the location. Standard work within exempt development criteria generally does not; extra height, front boundaries, retaining walls over the 600mm retaining wall exempt threshold, heritage items and bushfire prone land generally do. We identify the path before quoting.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — NSW contractor licensed and carrying $20 million in public liability cover on every job.

How long does side fencing take?

Most residential work is completed in one to a few days once materials are on site. Larger and engineered jobs are programmed with a clear timeline set out in the quote before work starts.

What affects the price of side fencing?

Four things, in roughly this order: the material and specification, the size or height, the ground conditions — rock, reactive clay and sand all change how footings are formed — and access, since material that has to be hand-carried costs more in labour than material delivered to the work. None of those four is visible from a photograph, which is why the quote follows a site measure and is then fixed in writing.
