Local Fencing You Can Rely On
Mitchell Park sits between Marion, Ascot Park, Clovelly Park and Bedford Park, with the Flinders railway line on its eastern edge. It’s a well-established suburb of nearly 6,000 people, and many of its brick homes have been renovated or rebuilt over the years, so there’s a real mix of old and new on most streets.
That mix means plenty of fences that no longer match the house. We’ve been in the fencing business for 9 years, and in Mitchell Park we replace tired boundary fences, fence renovated homes and add new side and driveway gates.

What We Can Do for You
Here’s the range of residential fencing Adelaide families ask us about most, from one panel to a full boundary.
Colorbond Fencing
Colorbond is the top pick for back and side boundaries. It’s private, strong and paint-free. A crisp Surfmist brightens a small yard, while Basalt suits a modern renovation.

Fence Installation
We take down the old fence, concrete in new posts and clean up afterwards. We’re often working next door in Clovelly Park and Ascot Park too.

Aluminium Slat Fencing
Slats finish off a renovated front yard or screen a new alfresco. They cost more than Colorbond but look clean and modern.

Fence Repairs
Leaning posts, loose sheets and rusted bottom rails can often be fixed without a full replacement. We repair the damaged sections and make the fence solid again.

Insurance Fencing
If wind, a falling branch or an accident has damaged your fence, we’ll give you the photos, notes and itemised quote your insurer needs.

Custom & Automatic Gates
Side gates with secure latches, double driveway gates and automatic gates, all made to match the fence.
Comparing Fence Materials
Each option has upsides and downsides. Here’s the honest version.
Colorbond
The practical choice. Private, long lasting and paint-free. The downsides are limited styles, the occasional dent and panels that get hot in summer.
Aluminium Slat
The modern choice. It won’t rust and looks smart from the street. It costs more than Colorbond, and the gaps mean slightly less privacy.
Timber
The traditional choice. Timber has a natural look and is easy to repair, but it needs staining every few years and is prone to rot and termites.
Chainwire and other security fencing is the budget option for large areas, but you won’t get any privacy.
How Much Does Fencing Cost in Mitchell Park?
Most standard Colorbond boundary fences cost between $200 and $300 per linear metre. The Fences Act 1975 (SA) means neighbours can often 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 once we know the design |
| Fence repairs | Priced on scope | Depends on what needs fixing |
| Gates | Priced on scope | Depends on size, style and motor |
Fence Length and Height
More metres and extra height mean more panels, posts and concrete.
Site Access
A narrow side path, garden beds or a sloping yard add labour, and some blocks need retaining walls first.
Taking Away the Old Fence
Some older fences are made of fibro, which can contain asbestos. SafeWork SA requires a licensed removalist to take it away, and we’ll tell you at the measure-up if we spot it.

Our Customer Reviews
What Mitchell Park Homeowners Say
Mitchell Park Fencing FAQs
Do I need council approval to build a fence in Mitchell Park?
Usually not. Mitchell Park is in the City of Marion. Across South Australia, most Colorbond and other steel fences up to 2.1 metres high don’t need approval, but 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. See the City of Marion planning and building page for details.
Can you match a new fence to a renovated home?
Yes. We can pick Colorbond colours or slat finishes to suit your new look, and replace just the front or the whole boundary. Bring photos or ideas to the measure-up.
How long does a new fence take to put in?
Most standard boundary fences are done in one to two days. You’ll get a firm timeframe once we’ve measured up.
What does a Colorbond fence cost?
Most fall between $200 and $300 per metre, depending on height, colour and access. Your neighbour may pay half.
Do you cover suburbs near Mitchell Park?
Yes, we also work in Marion, Ascot Park, Clovelly Park, Bedford Park, Tonsley and the rest of Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
Do you handle insurance fence repairs?
Yes, we supply the photos, notes and itemised quote your insurer will ask for.
Can you build a fence that keeps my dog in?
Yes. Full-height Colorbond with a plinth along the base stops most dogs digging out or seeing through. Let us know about your dog and we’ll recommend a height.
Colorbond or aluminium slats, which is better?
Colorbond gives full privacy and needs almost no upkeep. Slats look more modern and let air through but give a bit less privacy. Many homes use slats out the front and Colorbond everywhere else.
When is the best season for a new fence?
Autumn and spring are the sweet spots, with softer ground and mild weather for concrete. We work year round, but booking before summer helps you beat the rush.
What kinds of pool fencing are available?
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 read the SA Government pool and spa safety information before you start.
How do I find a trustworthy fencing company in Adelaide?
Get a written quote, read genuine Google reviews, look at photos of past jobs and ask exactly what the price includes. Steer clear of anyone asking for full payment upfront.
