Fencing Services for Family Homes
Woodcroft is a well-established family suburb with bigger blocks and a mix of flat and sloping streets. We’ve been building fences across Adelaide’s south for 9 years, and we know how much a solid boundary fence matters when you’ve got kids, pets and a big backyard.
A lot of homes here were built in the late 80s and 90s, so the original fencing is now leaning, faded or starting to rust. We replace old boundary fences, repair storm damage, build new gates and help landlords and small business owners keep their properties looking tidy.

Fencing Services We Provide
Whatever your needs, we offer a range of fencing options to suit your home. Here are our most popular jobs.
Colorbond Fencing
Colorbond is the top pick for family homes. It’s tough, private and never needs painting, and there’s a range of colours to match your roof or trims.

We take care of the whole job, including removing the old fence, digging post holes and concreting posts in. We also install fences in nearby Happy Valley and Morphett Vale.

Aluminium Slat Fencing
Slat fencing looks great across the front of a home or around an outdoor entertaining area. It costs more than Colorbond, but it really lifts the look of a property.

Colorbond, Slats or Timber? Picking Your Fence
Each option has its pros and cons. Here’s a simple rundown.
Colorbond
Ideal for privacy and easy care. It lasts for decades and stops kids and pets wandering. The downsides are limited styles, possible dents and panels that get hot in summer.
Aluminium Slat
Ideal for a modern finish. It won’t rust and looks sharp. It’s pricier than Colorbond, and the gaps mean a little less privacy.
Timber
Ideal for a natural feel. Timber is simple to repair, but it needs staining and won’t last as long. Plenty of older timber fences in the area are being swapped for Colorbond or slats.
Chainwire or security fencing is the cheapest choice for large rural blocks, but it gives you no privacy.
How Much Does Fencing Cost in Woodcroft?
A standard Colorbond boundary fence is usually $200 to $300 per linear metre. Under the Fences Act 1975 (SA), you and your neighbour can often split the cost of a shared boundary fence.
| Fence Type | Typical Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Colorbond boundary fence | $200 to $300 per linear metre | Height, colour and access affect the price |
| Aluminium slat fencing | Priced on scope | Included in your free quote |
| Fence repairs | Priced on scope | Depends on the damage |
| Gates | Priced on scope | Depends on size, style and automation |
Fence Size
Longer and taller fences need more panels, posts and concrete.
Slopes and Site Access
Sloping yards and tight access take more time, and some blocks need retaining walls before the fence goes up.
Old Fence Removal
Removing the old fence is part of most jobs. Fibro fences from the 80s can contain asbestos, which SafeWork SA requires a licensed removalist to take away. We’ll let you know at the measure-up.

Our Customer Reviews
What Locals Say
Woodcroft Fencing FAQs
Will I need council approval for my new fence?
Usually not. The City of Onkaparinga says Colorbond fences up to 2.1 metres high don’t need approval in general residential areas. Fences within 6 metres of a corner where two roads meet must stay under 1 metre, and anything over the limits needs a development application.
Which fence is best for a family home in Woodcroft?
Colorbond is the most popular, as it’s private, secure for kids and pets, and low maintenance. Aluminium slats suit the front of the house. We’ll recommend the right mix after seeing your block.
How long will my fence take to install?
Most boundary fences take one or two days on site. You’ll get a clear timeframe after the measure-up.
How much is Colorbond fencing per metre?
Usually $200 to $300 per metre, depending on height, colour and access. Your neighbour may share the cost.
Do you also work in nearby suburbs?
Yes, we cover Morphett Vale, Happy Valley, Reynella, Flagstaff Hill and the rest of the southern suburbs.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
Yes, we provide photos, notes and an itemised quote to support your claim.
Can you build a fence that keeps my dog in?
Yes. Full-height Colorbond with a plinth along the bottom stops most dogs digging under or seeing through. Tell us about your dog and we’ll suggest the right height.
What's the difference between Colorbond and aluminium slats?
Colorbond is a solid steel panel fence, best for privacy and low upkeep. Aluminium slats have small gaps that let light and air through, giving a more modern look but slightly less privacy.
What time of year is best for fence installation?
Autumn and spring are ideal, as the ground is easier to dig and concrete cures well. We install all year, but booking before summer helps you avoid the busy period.
What pool fencing options are there in Australia?
The main options are frameless glass, semi-frameless glass, aluminium tubular and aluminium slat. All pool fences in South Australia must meet AS 1926.1, so check the SA Government pool and spa safety rules first.
How do I pick a good fencing company in Adelaide?
Get a written quote, check their Google reviews, ask for photos of past jobs and make sure they explain what’s included. Be careful of anyone who wants full payment upfront.
