About fencing & gates
Choosing a fence for a Mandurah block
Mandurah is coastal, sandy and windy, and all three change what lasts here. Salt-laden air is hard on unprotected steel and hardware, prevailing sea breezes put real load on tall solid panels, and sand does not hold a post the way clay does. A fence specified for an inland Perth suburb will not necessarily behave the same way three streets back from the estuary.
Colorbond is the default for a reason: the steel is pre-finished, it does not need painting, and it handles the wind as a full panel rather than as individual palings that work loose. Aluminium slat suits frontages where you want to see through and be seen through, and aluminium does not rust at all, which matters closer to the water. Tubular and PVC both have their place — tubular for a traditional look on a front boundary, PVC where a customer wants a white fence that stays white without maintenance.
Pool fencing is a separate conversation from every other fence on the property, because it is a legal obligation rather than a preference. Heights, gaps, gate latching and the non-climbable zone are all set by the standard, and a barrier that fails an inspection has to be fixed regardless of how it looks.
Footings in sand and limestone
The single biggest difference between a fence that stands for twenty years and one that starts leaning in three is what happens below ground. In loose coastal sand, a post needs to go deeper and carry more concrete than the same post would in heavier soil, because there is less lateral support holding it. Limestone is the opposite problem — it holds beautifully once you are in, but getting in can mean coring rather than digging, and that changes the time on site.
It is also why quoting a fence over the phone is guesswork. Two runs of identical length on the same street can price differently because one is going into sand and the other hits limestone at 400mm.
Rural, tubular, PVC and commercial
Rural fencing on the larger Peel and inland blocks, tubular and PVC on residential boundaries, and commercial fencing all sit inside what the crew does — they simply do not have enough people searching for them locally to justify their own pages. If that is what you need, the enquiry form has a "not sure / something else" option and it reaches the same crew.
Who pays for a dividing fence in WA
Under the Dividing Fences Act 1961 (WA), adjoining owners are generally liable to share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence between their properties. In practice that means a conversation with the neighbour before the job starts, and a written quote both parties can look at. We are happy to provide a quote that can be shared — it is usually what unsticks the conversation.
This is general information, not legal advice, and the detail depends on your local authority and your circumstances. There is a fuller explanation on the What It Costs page.

Fencing & Gates we have done
PlaceholderBefore and after pairs from real fencing & gates jobs go here, each captioned with the suburb, the scope and the materials. Photography is outstanding — across nine competitor sites there are 115+ project photos and not one before/after pair, so this block is the site's clearest advantage and it needs real jobs to fill it.

Common questions
Does my neighbour have to pay half the fence in WA?
Generally, yes — the Dividing Fences Act 1961 (WA) makes adjoining owners liable to share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. "Sufficient" is the operative word: if you want something above a standard fence, the extra is usually yours. The practical step is to get a written quote and show it to your neighbour before anything is ordered. This is general information rather than legal advice.
Do I need council approval for a fence?
For a standard boundary fence at a normal height, usually not — but it depends on your local authority, and the footprint here spans the City of Mandurah, the Shire of Murray and the City of Rockingham, which do not all set the same requirements. Front fences above a certain height, fences on a corner truncation and anything affecting sightlines are the common exceptions. Pool barriers are always regulated. We will tell you if we think approval is needed.
Do you take the old fence away?
Yes. Removing and disposing of the old fence is part of a replacement job, and it is priced as a line on the quote rather than added afterwards. You do not need to arrange a skip or a tip run.
How long does a fence take?
A straightforward residential run is usually a short job, but the honest answer depends on length, access for machinery, whether footings are going into sand or limestone, and whether there is an old fence to come out first. We give you a realistic timeframe with the written quote rather than an optimistic one on the phone.
Can you do the retaining wall at the same time?
Yes, and it is usually the right order to do it in. A retaining wall generally goes in before the fence that sits on top of it, and doing both with one crew means no waiting for a second contractor and no argument about whose work caused what.
Do you do commercial fencing?
Yes. Most of that work comes through builders and direct relationships rather than through the website, but if you have a commercial job, get in touch through the quote form and it reaches the same crew.
