Bentleigh is a Colorbond fencing suburb. The streets running off Centre Road and Jasper Road are full of post war brick homes on regular blocks, and a big share of them have been rebuilt or renovated in the last twenty years. When the house gets updated the old timber paling boundary usually goes too, and Colorbond is what most owners put back.
The typical Bentleigh job is a full side and rear boundary replacement between 15 and 40 metres, often with a matching gate to the side path. Blocks here are regular and access is generally good, which keeps the per metre price sensible compared with the tighter inner north suburbs.
EasyFixed prices Colorbond fence installation in Bentleigh online. Enter your run length, height, gate needs and whether the old fence has to come out, and you get a real installed figure inc GST before you book anything. Ground conditions matter here: Bentleigh sits on reactive clay that swells in winter and shrinks through summer, so footings need proper depth or posts start to lean within a few years. We price for that instead of pretending every site is sand.
We also supply fence kits to Bentleigh addresses if you want to install it yourself. A Colorbond kit comes with posts, rails, sheets, caps and fixings cut to your run length, and timber paling and picket kits are available too. The straight boundaries here make a kit a realistic weekend project. Price one in the calculator.
How much does timber fencing cost in Bentleigh? Colorbond fencing in Bentleigh generally starts a little above timber paling per metre installed, with timber paling from around $120 per metre inc GST. Long straight runs on the regular blocks here price better per metre than short awkward runs. Removal of the old fence, extra height and gates all move the number, and the calculator asks about each one so the price you see is the price you book at.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Bentleigh? A standard boundary fence up to 2.0 metres between neighbours generally does not need a building permit in Victoria. Bentleigh falls under Glen Eira City Council, which applies tighter rules to front fences and street frontages. Check with Glen Eira before building at the front or going above 2.0 metres.
What is the best type of fence for Bentleigh properties? Colorbond is the most popular choice in Bentleigh. It suits the renovated brick homes, needs no staining and holds a straight line on the long side boundaries here. Timber paling is still the cheaper option per metre and works well where you want to match an existing timber run. On reactive clay a steel post under a paling fence is the smart upgrade.
How long does fence installation take in Bentleigh? Most Bentleigh Colorbond jobs up to 20 metres are completed in one to two days on site. Longer boundaries across a corner block can run into a third day. Our tradie calls you within 24 hours of booking to confirm the day.
Can EasyFixed remove my old fence in Bentleigh? Yes. Old fence removal and disposal are included in the installation. Old timber paling fences set in deep concrete take longer to pull out of the clay here than an old Colorbond run, and the calculator prices that difference. Leftover concrete goes with us, soil stays on site.
