Richmond fencing is tight block fencing. Between Bridge Road and Swan Street the housing is mostly single fronted workers cottages and converted warehouses, so the typical job here is a short rear courtyard run or a side boundary squeezed between two brick walls.
Timber paling for rear and side courtyard boundaries, and a low timber picket at the front to suit the terrace housing. Colorbond works well where a neighbour already has it and you want a clean match.
Richmond sits under Yarra City Council.
