Reliable Fencing Close to Home
Hackham West was mostly vineyards and farmland until the late 1970s, when the streets named after European cities, like Warsaw, Oslo and Amsterdam, were laid out. It sits between the Southern Expressway, Main South Road, Beach Road and Honeypot Road, with long green reserves and a bike path following the old Willunga railway line.
Lots of homes here back onto those reserves, and many of the original fences are now over 40 years old. We’ve been in the fencing business for 9 years, and our work here is mostly replacing worn boundary fences, fixing storm damage and adding new side and driveway gates.

Our Range of Fencing Services
We handle all kinds of residential fencing Adelaide homeowners need, from one loose panel to a whole new boundary.
Colorbond Fencing
Colorbond is the most popular upgrade from an old timber or fibro fence. It’s private, strong and never needs painting. Shades like Monument and Woodland Grey look sharp against a green reserve.

Fence Installation
We take out the old fence, set the posts in concrete and leave everything tidy. We also install fences in nearby Hackham and Huntfield Heights.

Aluminium Slat Fencing
Slats give the front of a home a modern look and make a great screen for a patio. They cost more than Colorbond, but they add real street appeal.

Which Fence Is Best for Your Home?
Each material has pros and cons. Here’s a quick, honest guide.
Colorbond
Best for privacy. Steel panels that last for years with no painting. The catch is fewer style choices, the odd dent and panels that heat up in summer.
Aluminium Slat
Best for street appeal. Modern and rust-proof. It costs more than Colorbond, and the gaps mean a bit less privacy.
Timber
Best for a classic look. Easy to repair, but timber needs staining every few years and is prone to rot and termites. Plenty of older timber fences here are being swapped for Colorbond.
Chainwire and other security fencing is the cheapest way to fence a big area, but it gives no privacy.
How Much Does Fencing Cost in Hackham West?
Most standard Colorbond boundary fences cost $200 to $300 per linear metre. Under the Fences Act 1975 (SA), neighbours can usually share the cost of a dividing 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 | Priced to suit your design |
| Fence repairs | Priced on scope | Depends on the damage |
| Gates | Priced on scope | Depends on size, style and automation |
Length and Height
The longer and taller the fence, the more panels, posts and concrete it needs.
Slope and Access
Narrow side access, sloping yards and established gardens add labour, and some blocks need retaining walls first.
Removing the Old Fence
Some older fences are fibro and may contain asbestos. SafeWork SA rules say a licensed removalist must take it away, and we’ll point it out at the measure-up.

Hackham West Fencing FAQs
Do I need council approval to build a fence in Hackham West?
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.
Can you replace a fence that backs onto a reserve?
Yes, plenty of homes here back onto reserves or the bike path. We can replace the fence and keep the job neat. If your fence borders council land, check with council about who pays, as the usual neighbour cost-sharing rules may not apply.
How long does it take to install a fence?
A standard boundary fence usually takes one to two days on site. We’ll give you a firm timeframe after the measure-up.
How much does Colorbond fencing cost?
Usually $200 to $300 per metre, depending on height, colour and access. Your neighbour may share the cost.
Do you cover suburbs near Hackham West?
Yes, we also work in Hackham, Huntfield Heights, Christie Downs, Morphett Vale, Noarlunga Downs and the rest of the southern suburbs.
Can you help with an insurance claim?
Yes. We provide photos, notes and an itemised quote to support your claim.
Do you build dog-proof fences?
Yes. A full-height Colorbond fence 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.
Should I go with Colorbond or aluminium slats?
Colorbond is solid, private and low maintenance. Aluminium slats look more modern and let light through, with a little less privacy. A popular combo is slats at the front and Colorbond down the sides and back.
What's the best time of year to install a fence?
Autumn and spring are ideal, with easier digging and good conditions for concrete. We install all year, but booking before summer helps you avoid the rush.
What pool fencing types are available?
The most common are frameless glass, semi-frameless glass, aluminium tubular and aluminium slat. Every pool fence in South Australia must meet AS 1926.1, so check the SA Government pool and spa safety rules first.
How do I choose a reputable fencing company in Adelaide?
Look for a written quote, real Google reviews and photos of past jobs, and check what’s included in the price. Avoid anyone who asks for full payment upfront.
