Fencing That Stands Up to the Sea Air
Port Noarlunga dates back to 1856 and is famous for the 1921 jetty and the reef that runs out from it, now a protected aquatic reserve. Between Witton Bluff, the Onkaparinga River estuary and the cafes along Gawler Street, it’s one of the most loved beach suburbs in Adelaide’s south. Most of the housing came in the 1960s and 70s as the suburbs pushed south.
Salt air and strong sea breezes are tough on fences, with rust starting at the base and wind loosening panels. We’ve been in the fencing business for 9 years, and here we replace worn coastal fences, fix storm damage and help owners pick materials made for life near the water.

Our Coastal Fencing Services
Here’s the range of residential fencing Adelaide’s beach suburbs ask us for most, whether it’s one gate or a full boundary.
Colorbond Fencing
Colorbond is private, wind-resistant and never needs painting. For homes close to the beach or the bluff, ask about marine-grade options such as Colorbond Ultra steel, which is made for salty conditions.

Fence Installation
We remove the old fence, set posts deep in concrete to handle the wind and leave the yard tidy. We also install fences in Christies Beach and Port Noarlunga South.

Aluminium Slat Fencing
Aluminium won’t rust, so slats are a smart choice near the sea. They look great on a modern front yard or around a deck, and cost more than Colorbond.

Fence Repairs
Salt spray and wind rust posts and loosen panels over time. We replace corroded sections and get the fence straight and secure again.

Choosing a Fence for the Coast
Every material handles salt air differently. Here’s some straight information to help you compare.
Colorbond
Private and tough. Long lasting and paint-free, with marine-grade options for homes near the water. It can dent, styles are limited and panels get hot in summer.
Aluminium Slat
Best near the beach. Rust-proof and modern. It costs more than Colorbond, and the gaps let through more breeze and a bit less privacy.
Timber
Natural but needy. Timber is cheap to patch, but it needs staining every few years and is prone to rot and termites, especially in damp coastal air.
Chainwire and other security fencing is the cheapest way to fence a big area, but it gives no privacy and still rusts near the sea.
How Much Does Fencing Cost in Port Noarlunga?
Most standard Colorbond boundary fences cost $200 to $300 per linear metre, with marine-grade materials costing a little more. Under the Fences Act 1975 (SA), you and your neighbour 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, grade and access affect the price |
| Aluminium slat fencing | Priced on scope | Priced on scope at the measure-up |
| Fence repairs | Priced on scope | Depends on how much is corroded or damaged |
| Gates | Priced on scope | Depends on size, style and automation |
Size of the Fence
A longer or taller fence needs more panels, posts and concrete.
Slope, Sand and Access
Sandy soil, sloping blocks near the bluff and tight side access add labour, and some sites need retaining walls first.
Removing the Old Fence
Many older homes here still have fibro fences, which can contain asbestos. SafeWork SA rules say a licensed removalist must take it away, and we’ll flag it at the measure-up.

Our Customer Reviews
Reviews from Port Noarlunga Homeowners
Port Noarlunga Fencing FAQs
Do I need council approval to build a fence in Port Noarlunga?
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. Some heritage-listed places in the suburb may have extra controls.
What fence lasts best near the beach?
Aluminium slats don’t rust, so they’re the lowest-maintenance option right near the water. Marine-grade Colorbond steel is also made for salty conditions. Whatever you choose, hosing the fence down every few months helps it last.
How long does it take to install a fence?
A standard boundary fence usually takes one to two days on site. We’ll confirm the 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 Port Noarlunga?
Yes, we also work in Christies Beach, Port Noarlunga South, Noarlunga Centre, Seaford, Moana 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 after storm damage.
Do you build dog-proof fences?
Yes. A full-height Colorbond fence with a plinth along the bottom stops most dogs digging under, which matters in sandy soil. 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, with marine-grade options for the coast. Aluminium slats look modern, let the sea breeze through and won’t rust. 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 best, with calmer weather and good conditions for concrete. We work year round, but booking before summer helps you avoid the rush.
What pool fencing types are available in Australia?
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?
Ask for a written quote, check real Google reviews and photos of past work, and find out what’s included in the price. Avoid anyone who wants full payment upfront.
