Common Colorbond failures
The three failures we see most are a post bent by wind load after a storm, corrosion where the post meets the concrete, and a vehicle knock that pushes a post out of plumb and buckles the sheets either side.
Sheets themselves rarely fail. They dent, but they keep doing their job. If a run looks bad after a storm, it is almost always one or two posts causing it.
We replace the failed post, pour a fresh footing and refit and align the sheets so the run sits straight again.
Matching an older fence
Colorbond colours are consistent from the factory, but sheets fade slightly with years of sun. A replacement panel in the same colour name will usually read a touch brighter for the first year or two, then settle.
If you know the colour name, tell us. If you do not, our tradie can identify it at the site check from the profile and tone.
Central Victorian ground is often hard and rocky, particularly around the old goldfields areas. Rock makes post holes slower, which can affect the labour on larger runs.
City of Greater Bendigo generally allows boundary fences to 2.0 metres, with heritage controls through central Bendigo and Eaglehawk.
Hot, dry summers fade timber and paint fast. Oil based stain outperforms paint on paling fences here, and lighter Colorbond colours hold their look longer in the sun.
Larger blocks are common, which means longer fence runs. That works in your favour on per metre pricing since long straight runs are the most efficient to build.
Why do Colorbond posts fail? Most commonly wind-load damage or corrosion at the footing line. We replace the post and re-set in fresh concrete.
