Fencing Built for Life by the Beach
Moana began in 1927 as a seaside estate of holiday blocks with wide streets, and it really grew from the 1950s as more families got cars. Pedler Creek and its dune reserve split the suburb in two, with the older survey to the north and newer housing to the south, and the beach is lined with low cliffs, dunes and firm sand you can drive on.
Life this close to the water is hard on fences. Salt spray, sand and wind wear them down faster than inland. We’ve been in the fencing business for 9 years, and in Moana we replace tired beach-house fences, fix storm damage and fit gates for boats, trailers and four-wheel drives.

Fencing Services for Beach Homes
We cover the full range of residential fencing Adelaide’s coastal homeowners need, from one broken panel to a whole new boundary.
Colorbond Fencing
Colorbond gives full privacy, handles the wind and never needs painting. For homes near the dunes or cliffs, marine-grade Colorbond Ultra steel is built for salty air and is worth asking about.

Fence Installation
We remove the old fence, set posts deep in concrete for sandy ground and leave the yard clean. We also install fences next door in Seaford and Seaford Rise.

Aluminium Slat Fencing
Aluminium slats never rust, so they’re a great match for beach homes. They cost more than Colorbond but look fantastic out the front or around a deck.

Wide gates for the boat or four-wheel drive, side gates for the bins and automatic driveway gates, all made to match.
Finding the Right Fence for the Beach
Each material copes with salt and sand differently. Here’s quick, honest advice.
Colorbond
Reliable all-rounder. Private and durable, with marine-grade steel for homes near the water. The downsides are fewer style options, the occasional dent and panels that heat up in summer.
Aluminium Slat
Built for the coast. Rust-proof and stylish. It costs more than Colorbond, and the gaps give slightly less privacy.
Timber
Traditional look. Timber is easy to repair, but it needs staining every few years and is prone to rot and termites, and salty air speeds up wear.
Chainwire and other security fencing costs the least for large areas, but it gives no privacy.
How Much Does Fencing Cost in Moana?
Most standard Colorbond boundary fences cost $200 to $300 per linear metre, and marine-grade materials cost a little more. The Fences Act 1975 (SA) usually lets neighbours share the cost of a dividing fence.
| Fence Type | Typical Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Colorbond boundary fence | $200 to $300 per linear metre | Height, colour, grade and access affect the price |
| Aluminium slat fencing | Priced on scope | Priced to suit the design |
| Fence repairs | Priced on scope | Depends on the damage |
| Gates | Priced on scope | Depends on size, style and automation |
Size of the Fence
More length and height means more panels, posts and concrete.
Sandy Ground and Access
Sandy soil needs deeper footings, and slopes near the cliffs or narrow access add labour. Some blocks need retaining walls first.
Old Fence Removal
Some older beach homes still have fibro fences, which may contain asbestos. SafeWork SA says a licensed removalist must take it away, and we’ll point it out at the measure-up.

Moana Fencing FAQs
Do I need council approval to build a fence in Moana?
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.
What fence is best for a home near the dunes or cliffs?
Aluminium slats won’t rust, and marine-grade Colorbond steel is made for salty air. In sandy ground we set posts deeper so the fence stays straight. Rinsing the fence with fresh water every few months also helps it last.
How long does a fence take to install?
Most standard boundary fences take 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, grade and access. Your neighbour may share the cost.
Do you cover suburbs near Moana?
Yes, we also work in Seaford, Seaford Rise, Port Noarlunga South, Seaford Heights, Old Noarlunga 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, even in sand. Tell us about your dog and we’ll recommend the right height.
Is Colorbond or aluminium slat fencing better near the sea?
Marine-grade Colorbond is solid and private. Aluminium slats won’t rust and look more modern, with a little less privacy. Many beach homes use slats at the front and Colorbond down the sides and back.
When is the best time of year to install a fence?
Autumn and spring work best, with calmer weather and good conditions for concrete. We install all year, but booking before summer helps you avoid the rush.
What types of pool fencing can I choose from?
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 before you begin.
How do I choose a good fencing company in Adelaide?
Look for a written quote, real Google reviews and photos of past jobs, and check exactly what’s included. Be careful of anyone asking for full payment upfront.
