Standard Boundary Panels
Full-height sheets between posts make a solid privacy fence.
This is the usual choice for side and rear boundaries in newer estates.

Colorbond Fence Installation in Wagga Wagga
Colorbond fence installation is our most requested boundary job in Wagga Wagga. The steel sheet will not rot, the colour is baked on at the factory and it blocks sight lines.
We set every post in concrete, keep the panel line straight and finish with gates that close cleanly.
Pick a colour, tell us the length, and we will measure and quote.

Steel fence types
Colorbond Fence Options
Lattice and Slat Tops
A lattice or slat extension adds height while letting light and air through.
It also softens the look of a long run.
Steel Gates
Single and double gates are made to match the fence sheet and colour.
Drop bolts hold double gates, and latches can take a padlock.
Plinths on Sloping Ground
On a slope, steel or concrete plinths fill the gap under the panels.
They also help keep pets in and soil off the sheet.
Profiles
Panel Heights and Profiles
1.8 m Privacy Height
The common height for side and rear fences.
Lower Front Runs
Shorter panels or a steel-and-slat mix keep the street view open.
Two-Colour Fences
Posts and rails in one colour with sheets in another for contrast.
Same Colour Both Sides
Most panels show the same colour to each neighbour, which helps avoid disputes.
Colours
Choosing a Colorbond Colour
Colour affects heat, glare and how the fence sits with the house and roof.
| Option | Characteristics | Typical applications | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark charcoal tones | Strong contrast and a modern look. | New builds with dark roofs or trims. | Dark sheets get hotter in the sun, so plants close by may stress in summer. |
| Mid greys | Neutral and easy to match. | Most brick and rendered homes. | Shows dust less than very dark or very light colours. |
| Light greys and creams | Bright and reflects more heat. | Smaller yards that need to feel larger. | Dirt and garden marks are easier to see on pale sheets. |
| Earthy greens and browns | Blends into gardens and paddocks. | Larger lots and garden-heavy yards. | Fewer people pick these, so check the range before you commit. |
Before we build
Planning a Colorbond Fence
A steel fence is quick to put up. The planning is what makes it last.
Height Limits
Standard fences usually stay at or under 1.8 m. Anything taller may need council approval.
Wind Load
Solid sheets catch wind, so post depth and spacing matter on open ground.
Neighbours
Agree on colour and cost with your neighbour before ordering materials.
Drainage
We leave a gap at the base where water runs across the boundary.
Install steps
How We Install a Colorbond Fence
- 1
Measure and Mark
We confirm the line, count posts and mark gate openings.
- 2
Remove the Old Fence
If it is part of the scope, we pull out the old fence and footings.
- 3
Concrete the Posts
Steel posts go in at even spacing and are set plumb in concrete.
- 4
Fit Rails and Sheets
Rails slot in, sheets drop into the channels and top rails lock them down.
- 5
Hang Gates and Tidy
Gates are hung, latched and adjusted. We touch up any cut edges.
Workmanship
Details That Make a Steel Fence Last
Small habits on site make the difference in ten years' time.
Swarf Removal
Metal filings from cutting are wiped off so they do not rust and stain the sheet.
Touch-Up Paint
Cut ends get matching touch-up paint.
Clear of Soil
We keep sheets off garden soil and mulch to slow corrosion.
Tek Screws Set Right
Fixings are tight but not crushed into the sheet.

Colorbond Fencing Questions
How long does a Colorbond fence last?
With posts set well and the sheet kept clear of soil and debris, steel fences last many years. Washing off dust and fixing scratches early helps the paint film do its job.
Can you build a Colorbond fence on a slope?
Yes. We step the panels down the grade and fill the gaps underneath with plinths so the line looks tidy and pets stay in.
Can my neighbour and I pick different colours?
Most steel fence panels show the same colour on both sides. Agree on the colour with your neighbour before we order.
Will a dark fence make my yard hotter?
Dark sheets absorb more sun and can feel hot to touch in a Wagga Wagga summer. Plants growing right against them can struggle. Lighter colours stay cooler.
Do you install Colorbond gates?
Yes. Single, double and sliding steel gates can be added, with latches and drop bolts to suit.

Steel fencing guide
Is a Colorbond Fence Right for You?
Steel panels suit people who want privacy and very little upkeep. There is nothing to stain and nothing to rot.
They are less suited to sites where you want airflow or a softer look. In those cases, slats or timber may fit better.
Steel can dent if hit by a car, a trailer or a falling branch. Single sheets can be swapped out, so a dent rarely means a whole new fence.
We do not fit steel sheet against a garden bed with the soil built up against it. Wet soil sitting on the sheet shortens its life, so we raise the issue on the measure.
Hose the panels down when dust builds up after a dry spell. A soft brush is fine for marks.
Do not let garden soil, mulch or compost pile against the bottom rail. That is where rust starts.
