Fence Builders in Wagga Wagga for Homes, Businesses and Rural Blocks
Need a new fence, a replacement or a mix of both? Fencing Wagga Wagga builds boundary, front, pool, security and farm fences across Wagga Wagga and the nearby suburbs.
We start with the ground. Riverina clay moves between wet winters and dry summers, so post depth and footing size matter as much as the panel you pick.

What we build
Types of Fencing We Build in Wagga Wagga
Front Fences
A front fence sets the look of the street frontage and controls kids and pets.
Low pickets, slats or rendered piers with infill all suit different house styles.
Gates and Side Access
Single, double and sliding gates are hung on posts sized for their weight.
We fit latches that can be locked and leave room for bins and mowers.
Privacy and Screen Fencing
Screens hide outdoor living areas, bins and pool equipment from view.
We match the height and spacing to how much light and breeze you want through it.
Configurations
Fence Styles and Layouts
Full-Height Boundary
Usually 1.8 m tall for privacy along side and rear lines. Taller fences may need approval, so we check before quoting.
Low Front Frontage
Kept lower to keep sight lines to the street open and to suit the house.
Stepped Runs on Slopes
Panels step down the grade so the top line looks level and the bottom gap stays even.
Mixed Material Fences
Steel down the sides with timber or slats at the front is a common pairing.
Materials
Fencing Materials Compared
Each material suits a different job. The table sets out where each one fits.
| Option | Characteristics | Typical applications | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorbond steel | Pre-painted steel sheet on steel posts and rails. | Boundary and side fences in suburbs. | Cut edges and scratches need touch-up paint to slow rust. |
| Treated pine and hardwood | Natural timber palings or slats on timber or steel posts. | Front fences and warmer-looking boundaries. | Timber moves and greys in the sun, so it needs a coat every few years. |
| Aluminium slats | Light powder-coated slats that will not rust. | Front fences, screens and pool surrounds. | Wind load on tall slat runs needs closer post spacing. |
| Steel mesh and wire | Chainwire, welded mesh or rural wire on steel posts. | Commercial yards and farm paddocks. | Strainer posts must be braced well or the wire slackens. |
Planning
What Shapes a Fence Job in Wagga Wagga
A few site facts decide the method, the time on site and the price.
Boundary Position
We build on the line you show us. If the line is unclear, a registered surveyor should mark it first.
Underground Services
We request plans through Before You Dig Australia before any hole is dug.
Clay and Drainage
Reactive clay heaves when wet and shrinks when dry. Deeper footings help posts stay plumb.
Heat and Sun
Summer heat fades timber and expands steel. Material choice and fixings allow for that.

Tools & technique
Equipment and Methods We Use
Good fences come from straight lines and solid footings.
String Lines and Levels
Every run is strung and levelled so post tops sit on a clean line.
Post Hole Augers
Powered augers give clean, full-depth holes even in hard summer clay.
Concrete Footings
Posts are set in concrete and braced until it cures.
Final Check
We test every gate swing and latch before we leave.

|---|---|
| Sloping or rocky ground | More digging, stepping and time on site |
| Old fence to remove first | Labour and tip fees are added to the scope |

Fencing FAQ for Wagga Wagga
How long does a new fence take to build?
Most suburban boundary fences take one to three days on site once materials arrive. Concrete needs time to cure before panels or rails go on. Larger rural or commercial runs take longer, and we give you a time frame in the written quote.
Do I need council approval for a fence?
Many standard fences are exempt development in NSW, but height, location, flood zones and heritage items can change that. We check the general rules with you and suggest you confirm with Wagga Wagga City Council where the fence is unusual.
Who pays for a fence between neighbours?
Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act, neighbours usually share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. We can provide a written quote you can both review before work starts.
Can you remove my old fence?
Yes, for most timber, steel and wire fences. If an old fence is fibro sheeting that may contain asbestos, it must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist first.
What fence lasts best in the Riverina climate?
Steel and aluminium hold up well to heat with little upkeep. Timber looks warmer but needs a stain or paint coat every few years to stay sound.

Fencing explained
How to Pick the Right Fence for Your Property
Start with the job the fence has to do. Privacy, security, pets, pool safety and stock control all point to different builds.
Then think about upkeep. Steel and aluminium need a wash now and then. Timber needs a recoat, and palings may need replacing as they age.
Last, look at the ground. Slopes, tree roots and soft river flats change how posts go in. We tell you what we find on the measure rather than after the job starts.
We will not build over a boundary that is in dispute, and we will not dig without service plans. Those two rules save everyone trouble.
