314 Fencing and Gate Professionals

Fences and gates are a practical addition to most homes. They can enclose an area, keeping pets contained and little ones safe from the water’s edge; provide privacy from neighbours and passers-by; and offer security from intruders. And let’s not forget the decorative aspect, which can instantly raise your kerb appeal.

Some fence and gate styles will never lose their appeal – think vertical wrought iron fencing – but homeowners are neither shying away from innovative designs using corten panels, off-form concrete and timber, just to name a few of the materials available. Colorbond fencing, in particular, is currently very popular due to its ability to complement most styles of homes.

Whether you need simple aluminium fencing to wrap around your pool or security gates at the entrance of your front yard, there’s a professional on Houzz who can help you select and install something that best suits your needs.

What does a fencing and gate contractor do?

They can help you select and install a gate or fence, as well as make any repairs in the future. Whether you seek privacy, noise reduction, safety or security, your fencing and gate contractor will work with you to determine the right materials to use, to ensure it complements the grade of your block, and is suitable to your climate and the type of soil you have. If you live close to the ocean, for example, you will need to be vigilant with the type of materials you use, as salty air can cause erosion to unprotected metals.

Fencing and gate contractors will also advise on the height of your structure, to ensure it adheres to local building regulations, and if you need council approval, can help you through the process. The job of pool fencing contractors differs slightly in that there are special regulations governing the size, materials and installation of pool fences. Your contractor should have a thorough knowledge of considerations such as these.
