4 Ways How To Discover Your New Fence Style?

When it comes to selecting a new fence style for your property in Coffs Harbour, the process can be overwhelming due to the vast array of options available. A fence is an essential element of your property’s design and can significantly enhance its value. There are many factors to take into account, including the style, purpose, colour, and the level of maintenance you require

To help simplify the decision-making process, consider the following four tips when choosing the right fence for your property.

Consider the Purpose of Your Fence

When selecting a new fence style, the primary consideration should be the purpose it serves. Different fence styles are designed to fulfill various needs such as privacy, boundary demarcation, pool safety, or property enhancement. Understanding the intended function of the fence will guide you towards choosing the most suitable style.

For example, a Colorbond fence can offer both privacy and security, while a picket or slat fence are more suited for aesthetics.

Most fencing options offer some level of privacy and separation from the surrounding area. Some fences offer a higher level of privacy than others, although this will often come at the expense of having a nice view.

Determine Your Property’s Style

When selecting a fence style for your home, it is essential to consider the overall style of your property and neighborhood. The fence you choose should complement the architectural design and aesthetic of your home, enhancing its overall appearance.

The overall look and feel of a fence are influenced by various factors, each playing a significant role in determining the  appeal and functionality of the structure. Some of the key factors that define the appearance of a fence include: the choice of material, colour, shape, and how seamlessly the fence blends in with the property itself. 

Any one of these traits can make or break the overall look of your fence, and even a great looking fence can look out of place if it is mismatched with the wrong style of property.

If you are unsure about which fence style would best suit your property, seeking guidance from professionals like Seaside Fencing can be beneficial. With years of experience in assisting clients with choosing the right fencing options, they can provide valuable insights into different styles, colors, and materials that would harmonize with your home.

Level of maintenance

Choosing the right type of fence for your property not only depends on your budget but also on the level of maintenance you’re willing to commit to. Different fencing materials require varying degrees of upkeep and cost.

Options such as aluminum, PVC ,and slat fencing may cost a bit more initially, but they offer several advantages in terms of maintenance.

On the other hand, timber fencing requires maintenance to maintain its appearance and longevity, may need to be treated with preservatives and re-stained or painted every few years.

It’s essential to remember that even the most expensive and high-quality fences will eventually show signs of wear if not properly maintained. Therefore, it’s crucial to consider both the initial cost and ongoing maintenance expenses when choosing a fence type.

Budget

The cost of a fence can vary greatly depending on the material and style. You should consider your budget when determining which kind of fence you want for your property.

Luckily Seaside Fencing offers a free quotation service to help you match your dreams with your budget.

While it may be tempting to choose the most affordable fence upfront now, this may not be the wisest choice in the long run. Fencing made from cheaper materials may be more susceptible to wear and tear, and you may be limited by the amount of customisation options, resulting in a less visually appealing fence.

Understanding the Brief

The first step in designing a custom fence is to understand the client’s requirements. In this case, the brief includes four main considerations:

  1. Be the focal point of the street: The fence should be an attractive and eye-catching feature that enhances the home’s curb appeal.
  2. Choose a design that suits the natural bush outlook of the house: The fence should complement the surrounding landscape and blend in with the natural environment.
  3. Match the colour to the house trim Ironstone: 
  4. Be dog proof for the smallest members of the family: The fence should be tall enough and have small enough holes to prevent dogs from escaping or entering the property.
  5. Retain the sea breeze: The fence should not obstruct the flow of air, allowing for the sea breeze to cool the property.

We collaborated with our clients through several revisions to settle on the design that they were happy with.

The choice of design elements, in the gum leaf and kookaburra motifs, not only adds artistic value but also reflects a sense of cultural identity and a connection to nature.

What To Look For When Choosing A Fence Installer

While we may all try our hand at a DIY project from time to time, there are certain projects that are just too complex for a home handyman to handle successfully. When it comes time to find a fence installer for your job, we all want to find a good contractor to get the job done to the highest standard, and at a price that won’t break the bank. With so many installers available, it’s hard to know who to choose. To help narrow down your choices, here are a few factors you might want to consider when deciding which fence installer to pick for your fencing project.

  • Always check that they have a Fencing Contractor’s Licence and insurance. 
  • Know what you want before hiring a fencing contractor. Before speaking with fence installers, spend time thinking about your goals for the project, such as what it might look like, the style you want, and so on.
  • Find yourself a fence installer who has a reputation of honesty and reliability, and someone who is known for producing quality work. If you can’t find someone via word of mouth, online review’s  can be quite useful. 
  • Do they offer the design and materials to meet your expectations?
  • Do they stand behind their work with a warranty?

Factors to consider when hiring a fencer

Selecting the right fence installer greatly depends on the needs and requirements of clients. Many methods can be used to compare and select contractors:

  • Quality-based – Quality will be more important than price, however, price is still a consideration.
  • Qualification only – the fence installer is only chosen based on their qualifications, regardless of cost. 

  • Quality and cost-based – price is considered alongside qualification and reputation, and weighting is given accordingly. This is used when the cost is a major factor, but the quality is also important.

  • Quality-based – Quality will be more important than price, however, price is still a consideration.

  • Least cost – selection at its most basic, some clients choose contractors based on cost alone. This should only be a consideration where work is relatively well defined and understood by the contractors. This method should be used with caution and in conjunction with other work checks and references.

Customer expectations and requirements

We were approached by a local builder seeking a fencing contractor who has the precision and skill to fulfill their designer’s vision for a pool renovation.

The tricky site had several obstacles to overcome during the building process including limited access for building involving access over a 4m high retaining wall, working around other trades on site and meeting NSW pool compliance regulations whilst incorporating the existing structures and gardens surrounding the pool.

After several quote revisions of products to reflect the designer’s vision as well as the client’s budget and taste we were able to settle on a lower panel of Modularwalls in slim wall style finished with stone tiling and a timber look aluminum batten top half from the Glass Outlet in colour western red cedar for 2 sides and a feature fence of matching aluminum battens in western red cedar on the southern boundary to complete the look

Outcome of the project

To access the site, we required specialist lifting equipment to lift personnel and materials into place.

Due to the access issues and precision required to cut thousands of battens to size individually this project took around 8 days to complete. The battens were installed with a pool compliant 50mm spacing between them.

At the conclusion of the project all parties involved including the client, builder, suppliers and designer were thrilled with the result. On the back of this project, we have been sought out for further works and to have been approached to have this project professionally photographed for suppliers advertising.
