Essendon has some of the best presented streets in the inner north west, and the fencing reflects that. Californian bungalows and solid interwar brick homes on wide blocks through the streets off Buckley Street and Mt Alexander Road, with owners who care what the front boundary looks like.
That splits the work neatly. Front fences in Essendon are a design decision, usually a picket or a low feature fence that suits the house. Side and rear boundaries are practical work, long runs of timber paling or Colorbond, often replacing something installed decades ago and now leaning into the neighbour's garden.
EasyFixed prices both online, inc GST, with no site visit required to get a number. Blocks here are generous and access is usually good, which keeps the per metre rate down. Where Essendon does catch people is the height question at the front, because Moonee Valley applies real limits on street frontages and the wrong choice is an expensive rebuild.
Fence kits are available across Essendon, including timber paling and picket kits. Each kit includes posts, rails, palings, post caps, concrete and fixings, cut to your run length. Kits suit the straight, well accessed boundaries common here. Price a kit in the calculator.
How much does timber fencing cost in Essendon? Essendon blocks are wide, which helps. Timber paling generally starts around $120 per metre inc GST installed, Colorbond slightly higher, and premium hardwood front fencing costs more again. The calculator prices your specific job.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Essendon? Boundary fences under 2.0 metres between neighbours generally do not need a building permit in Victoria. Moonee Valley City Council applies lower height limits to street frontages and has heritage controls in parts of Essendon, so check before building at the front.
What is the best type of fence for Essendon properties? In Essendon, Colorbond and timber paling are the popular choices for side and rear boundaries, and a well built timber picket or feature fence is the right call at the front on the bungalow and interwar streets. Merbau or hardwood upgrades are common here where the fence is visible from the street.
How long does fence installation take in Essendon? Most Essendon jobs up to 20 metres are completed in one to two days. Good side access on the standard block here means fewer surprises.
Can EasyFixed remove my old fence in Essendon? Yes, we remove and dispose of the old fence as part of the installation. Cost depends on material and length. Old fences here often have deep concrete footings, which we allow for in the price.
