As we are seeing an increase in new houses built in Coffs Harbour, we are also having the pleasure of installing new fences. The standard go to installation for these new developments is Colorbond fencing in the majority of the new developments.
The popularity of Colorbond steel owe a lot to its durability and ease of maintenance. That’s why it’s used in all sorts of homes both old and new all over Coffs Harbour.
When you have been a fence installer for as long as we have, there are certainly fence colour trends and fads that come around. These trends will often be influenced by reality TV shows and designer opinions, or in some cases they are a timeless classic that will stay in favour for a long time.
Woodland Grey is a popular Colorbond color that has experienced a resurgence in recent months. This classic color offers a natural, earthy look that complements various architectural styles and landscapes. Its versatility makes it an attractive choice for both residential and commercial properties.

Our client in Emerald Beach contacted us to realign their existing ModularWalls fence and to match the new installation to the current installation.
Fence realignment involves adjusting the position of an existing fence to meet new requirements or regulations. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as changes in local council regulations, property boundary adjustments. In the case of the client in Emerald Beach, the realignment was necessary to comply with updated council requirements.
With our talented team and the assistance of ModularWalls, We were able to match their existing new ModularWalls fence and install the new fence to meet the new requirements.

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.
Licensed fence Installers have invested years, if not decades learning the skills and expertise needed for their chosen trade. In addition, they have committed to undertake any further training that may be required of them by becoming licensed and insured.
You should always check your fencer holds the right licence for the job!
When assessing potential fence installer for your project, it is important to always ask them to show you their licence and insurance.
Why does an unlicenced fencer cost less?
The reason an unlicensed fence installer may quote a lower price is that they often haven’t completed the training or gained the qualifications necessary to work in their field. They have lower overheads as they are not paying licensing fees, and possibly not obtaining liability and worker’s compensation insurance either.
This lack of skills can become apparent in the inferior quality of their handiwork. They are also more likely to cut corners.
In addition to the initial costs of installation, imagine paying thousands of dollars extra to correct their mistakes?
