Fencing Engadine

If you’re near the Princes Highway or just dealing with a lot of street or neighbour noise, a solid fence can definitely help. Colorbond is the affordable go-to option since it’s made from solid steel panels with no gaps, so it blocks a fair bit of sound straight away. A good, solid timber fence works too, as long as it’s built tall and with overlapping palings to minimise gaps.

If you’re right up against heavy traffic, like near the highway, we can look at acoustic fencing or modular fences for better sound control. It’s designed for that kind of thing and makes a big difference. We’ll check out your block and help you figure out what’ll work best.

Yes, definitely. In areas of Engadine that border bushland or fall within bushfire-prone zones, we take fire resistance seriously. We typically recommend Colorbond steel fencing because it’s non-combustible and tested to perform well in high heat. Timber can be used in lower-risk areas, but we recommend against it for bushland boundaries. If your property has a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating, we’ll work within those requirements and help ensure your fence won’t become a risk in a fire event. We also consider things like fence placement, clearance from vegetation, and ember resistance, and elevation as part of the overall design.

Living near bushland in Engadine means it’s not uncommon to spot possums, wallabies, or even snakes near your fence line. To help keep wildlife out, we recommend installing solid panel fencing with minimal gaps. Colorbond or close-boarded timber works well. We can also extend the fence below ground level with the installation of plinths to prevent animals from sliding under the fence. For households with vegetable gardens or pets, these small upgrades can make a big difference in keeping the backyard safe and secure.

Absolutely. A lot of Engadine homeowners want privacy from the street or neighbours, but they don’t want the yard to feel boxed in, especially if they back onto bushland or have a nice outlook. We often install slatted timber or aluminium fencing, which gives you screening while still allowing airflow and filtered light.

Another option is a combination fence. For example, solid fencing on the sides and a more open style across the back to preserve views. We’ll work with your property’s layout to strike the right balance between privacy, openness, and design.

Yes, we do that regularly. Engadine has plenty of sloped or split-level blocks, and combining fencing with retaining walls is often the best way to make the yard usable and safe. We can build timber or concrete sleeper retaining walls to support the soil and then install fencing either on top of the wall (if it’s acting as a boundary) or just behind it for added strength. The key is to get the drainage and structural support right, especially on steep sites, and that’s something our Engadine fencing installers deal with all the time.
