Slat Fencing Sydney

Aluminium slat fencing is powder-coated, rust-proof, and requires zero ongoing maintenance — ideal for coastal Sydney suburbs like Manly or Cronulla. Timber slat fencing (typically hardwood or treated pine) has a warmer, more natural look and suits traditional or heritage-style homes. Timber requires oiling or staining every 2–3 years to maintain appearance and longevity. Aluminium costs more upfront but has lower lifetime cost.

Aluminium slat fencing in Sydney is priced per metre for standard 1.8m high panels, supply and install. Timber slat fencing is quoted after a free site measure depending on species and slat width. Feature slat screens (used as garden dividers or on-post decorative panels) start per panel depending on size. We provide free itemised quotes for all slat fencing projects.

Yes. Slat fencing is commonly used as privacy screens in Sydney — on balconies, around pool areas, between properties, and as boundary fences. The privacy level depends on the slat gap width: narrower gaps (10–20mm) provide near-full privacy; wider gaps (30–50mm) allow filtered light and air while still screening views. We design slat spacing based on your privacy requirements and council setback rules.

Yes. We fabricate and install matching slat fencing gates in both aluminium and timber to match your fence panels. Gates can be single or double leaf, pedestrian or driveway width, and can include self-closing hinges for pool compliance. Custom gate sizes are available for any opening width.

Side and rear boundary slat fencing under 1.8m in NSW can generally be installed as Exempt Development without a DA. Front boundary slat fencing is subject to lower height limits (typically 1.2m or less for solid panels). Heritage conservation areas and bushfire attack level zones may have additional requirements. We advise on your specific council rules before quoting.
