Fencing Burnside

In most residential areas of Burnside, you won’t need council approval for a side or rear fence up to 1.8 metres high using standard materials like timber or steel. However, front fences must be no more than 1 metre high, and if your property adjoins a public park or reserve, fencing must be no higher than 1.2 metres and at least 80% transparent to allow for passive surveillance.

If your design falls outside these rules, e.g taller than 1.2m or you wish to build using non-standard materials, we’ll guide you through the permit process if needed. For more information, please read the local council’s guidelines.

If your goal is to create a private space where you can relax without feeling overlooked, the best choices are solid-panel options like Colorbond or timber fencing. Colorbond offers a sleek, modern look with no gaps, making it ideal for backyards or side boundaries where full coverage is a must. It’s also long-lasting and requires little maintenance. Timber fencing, on the other hand, brings a warmer, more natural feel and can be built tall enough to block out nearby windows or busy streets.

Choosing between the two often comes down to aesthetics and upkeep. Timber can be stained or painted to match your home, but it does require occasional maintenance to protect against weathering. Colorbond, while more contemporary in appearance, comes in a range of colours and is perfect for Burnside’s mix of modern developments and family homes. For extra height or style, lattice extensions or slat top sections can also be added while still staying within council regulations.

Of course! In fact, tailoring your fence to match your home’s architecture is one of the best ways to enhance street appeal. Whether you live in a classic brick home or a newer Burnside build, we can customise everything from the materials and colours to the layout and finishing details. Timber fencing can be capped and painted for a more refined look, while aluminium slats or batten fencing allow for creative, modern patterns with adjustable spacing for light or airflow.

We also offer tailored gate solutions, feature panels, and post styles that complement different home styles. Our team will walk you through different options and show you examples of past work in the area to make sure your fence fits your property’s personality.

Once you’ve approved the fence quote and we’ve confirmed material availability, most residential fencing in Burnside is installed within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size of the job and current scheduling. The actual installation usually takes 1–3 days, but factors like ground conditions, weather, and any required demolition (like removing an old fence or clearing vegetation) can affect the timeline.

We’ll keep you informed at every stage — from delivery of materials to the final panel being installed — so there are no surprises.

Yes, we install a full range of gates, including swing gates and lockable pedestrian side gates — all tailored to suit your fencing style and level of security required. For many Burnside homes with wide driveways or side access, a sliding gate can be a practical and stylish way to control entry while maintaining a clean, seamless frontage.

Whether it’s for added privacy, pet control, or peace of mind, we’ll design a gate system that works with your lifestyle and complements the look of your home.
