Whether you’re installing a brand new fence, replacing an old one, or simply upgrading for style, there are a few key things to consider before starting your project.

What Do You Want Your Fence to Do?

Most Kensington Park homeowners are looking for some mix of privacy, security, boundary marking, and visual appeal.

Aluminium slat fencing offers a stylish, modern look with airflow and flexibility.

Questions to Consider Before You Begin

• Permits: Will you need council approval for your project in Kensington Park? New Fence Adelaide can help you check local requirements.
• Timelines: How soon do you need the fence done — and how long will it take? We’ll give you realistic estimates upfront.
• Underground services: Are there water, power or gas lines where you’re digging? Always a crucial step before starting any install or repair.

Fence Installation Costs (and What Affects Them)

Wrought iron, Colorbond, aluminium slats, timber, electric fencing — each comes with its own price point and lifespan.

• Hiring a professional vs DIY (we’re happy to do either part or all of the job)
• Permit fees (if applicable in your council area)
• Site prep and grading (especially important on sloped or rocky blocks)
• Equipment rental or purchase (you may not need to buy tools if New Fence Adelaide is handling the job)

Saving Money (Without Cutting Corners)

If you’re budget-conscious, you don’t have to sacrifice quality.

Final Tip: Maintenance Matters

Colorbond and aluminium are low-fuss, but still benefit from the odd rinse, re-tightening of screws, or oiling of hinges on gates.
