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.
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.
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.
