Wall mount or ground mount
Wall mounting onto solid brick is the fastest and cheapest option and suits most homes. The frame folds flat against the wall when you are not using it.
Ground mounting on two posts set in concrete is the answer when there is no suitable wall, or when the wall is cladding without solid backing behind it. It costs more because of the footings and the concrete cure.
Choosing the spot
Pick the sunniest wall with some air movement, usually north facing. Then check the swing clearance so the arms open fully without hitting a fence, downpipe or garden bed.
We test the fixings and the fold action before we leave, so you are not finding a loose bracket with a full load of wet washing on it.
Sandy soils are common down the Peninsula. Sand does not grip a footing the way clay does, so posts need wider, deeper footings to stay solid in wind.
Mornington Peninsula Shire applies stricter controls in coastal and township character areas, especially on street frontages, so check before planning a tall front fence.
Salt air and strong onshore wind are the two things that kill fences here. Powder-coated aluminium and genuine Colorbond handle it. Cheap fixings rust out within a few seasons, so we use galvanised and stainless hardware.
Beach houses, established family homes and holiday properties. Horizontal slat and blade fencing suit the coastal architecture, while Colorbond handles the side and rear boundaries.
Can you fit it on a brick wall? Yes, we use the correct masonry anchors for brick and rendered walls.
