Why homeowners across South-East Queensland choose Colorbond

Colorbond® steel is made in Australia to Australian Standards (AS 1397 and AS/NZS 2728), with five layers of protection baked into every sheet. It's the fence you put up once and stop thinking about — which is exactly why it's the most popular fence in the country.

  • ✓Won't rot, warp or get eaten by termites — unlike timber, there's nothing in it for the weather or the white ants.
  • ✓Genuinely low maintenance — an occasional hose-down is all it asks. No painting, no oiling, no re-nailing loose palings.
  • ✓Full privacy, both sides — sleek panels with no gaps, no footholds and a finished look from your yard and your neighbour's.
  • ✓Built for the Queensland climate — tested over 60+ years in harsh Australian sun, storms and salt air, and non-combustible for bushfire-prone blocks.
  • ✓15 colours to match your home — from Surfmist and Paperbark to Monument and Woodland Grey, backed by BlueScope's product warranty.

Where Colorbond works best

Boundary & privacy fencing

The go-to for backyards — tall, solid and private, with a matching gate to finish it off.

New builds & developments

Fast, consistent and durable across multiple lots, in a colour that suits the whole street.

Pool & feature areas

Slat and lattice tops, or a feature colour, to lift a plain boundary into something considered.

Replacing a tired timber fence

The most common job we do — swapping a leaning, rotting fence for one that stays straight.

Panel profiles

The face of the panel — the rib shape you see up close. Same steel and finish on all three.

200 x 50 mm concrete sleeper

A concrete sleeper slots in between the posts, right under the panels. It holds the soil back, stops dogs digging under and keeps the steel off wet ground. It works with any top style, and it's the tidy way to finish a fence on a sloping block. Shown in Ironstone.

Top styles

Keep it plain, or finish the top with a feature panel for extra height, airflow or a bit of character. If a topper takes the fence over 2 m, it needs council approval, and we'll walk you through it.

Not sure which style suits your yard?

Flat block or a steep one, there's a Colorbond style made for it. Flick through the designs, tell us what your land is like, and see which one works for you.

Why do stepped fences leave gaps at the bottom?

Colorbond panels are straight and level. On a sloping block, each panel steps down at the post, so the ground falls away underneath and leaves a triangle-shaped gap at the low end of every panel. It's normal, not a defect, and there are two ways to deal with it: a concrete plinth along the base fills the gaps and holds the soil back, or the panels can be raked on an angle so the bottom follows the ground.

Stepped, no plinth: gaps under each panel (shaded)
Stepped with a plinth: gaps filled, soil held back
Raked top and bottom: both rails follow the ground

Raked or stepped?

Raked means a raked top and a raked bottom, so the whole fence runs in one smooth line with the hill. It suits gentle, even slopes. Stepped keeps every panel square and level, which suits steeper or uneven ground. We'll tell you which works best when we walk your boundary.

Do I need a plinth?

If your yard slopes, your neighbour's ground sits higher than yours, or you have a dog that digs, a concrete plinth along the base is worth it. It fills the gaps, keeps soil off the panels and stops pets getting under.

How high can I go without approval?

In Queensland, a dividing fence up to 2 m high doesn't need council approval, so 1.5 m, 1.8 m and 2.0 m fences are all fine. Once you go over 2 m — a 2.1 m fence, or a topper that takes it past 2 m — you'll need council approval. If you want the extra height, we'll walk you through it.

1.5 mLower boundaries, front returns, keeping sightlines open.No approval needed
1.8 mThe standard for privacy and security between neighbours.No approval needed
2.0 mA little extra height and privacy, still within the limit.No approval needed
2.1 mMaximum privacy and street-noise screening.Needs council approval

Sharing the cost with your neighbour

In Queensland, neighbours usually split the cost of a dividing fence. Have a chat with them before you book. It's also a good time to agree on the colour, because they'll be looking at the other side.

What a Colorbond fence typically costs in Brisbane

Around $80 to $300 per metre

As a broad guide, Colorbond fencing typically ranges from around $80 to $300 per metre, depending on height, panel style, site access, and whether the ground needs levelling or a plinth. A standard height sits at the lower end; taller fences, specialty tops, feature colours and gates move it toward the top.

What our customers say

“

We are extremely happy with the service from Synergy Fencing to replace a timber fence, and replace a retaining wall at our Kindergarten. They were able to fit us in on short notice in a timeframe that suited us, and they completed the work with efficiency and care. Our neighbours agreed that the contractors did an excellent job and were very courteous throughout the work period. We were very happy with everything, from the communication, initial visit, quoting and the end result. We were also very happy with the cost, as it was comparable to other companies we found as well. They considered longevity and our needs in terms of child safety. Thank you to the team at Synergy for making this so easy for us!!

The Synergy difference — it's in what you don't see

Anyone can stand a fence up. Whether it's still dead straight in twenty years comes down to the part you never see: how deep and how square the footings are, how the posts are set, and whether the standard held when it would've been quicker to cut a corner. That's the work we take pride in — we're built for what's behind the line.

The questions we hear most about Colorbond fencing.

How much will a Colorbond fence cost?+

As a broad guide, around $80 to $300 per metre. Where yours lands depends on the length and height of the run, the ground, how easy it is to get to the fence line, and whether you need a plinth or a gate. Our instant quote gives you a tailored range in about a minute, and we follow up with a preliminary quote within 24 hours and an on-site measure before anything's locked in.

Will Colorbond go rusty?+

Colorbond® steel is built with multiple layers of corrosion protection and is engineered for Australian conditions. Kept clean and installed properly, it resists rust for decades — and comes with a BlueScope product warranty.

Can people see through a Colorbond fence?+

Yes — the panels sit flush with no gaps or footholds and look finished from both sides, so you get full privacy without staring at rails and posts.

How long will a Colorbond fence last?+

A well-installed Colorbond fence commonly lasts 20+ years. As with any fence, longevity comes down to the footings and the install as much as the material.

What Colorbond colours can I pick?+

There are 15 colours in the range, from lighter tones like Surfmist and Paperbark through to darker Monument and Woodland Grey, so you can match or contrast your roof and home.

Do I need to ask the council for a Colorbond fence?+

Not for a standard dividing fence. In Queensland, a fence up to 2 m high doesn't need council approval, so 1.5 m, 1.8 m and 2.0 m are all fine. Anything over 2 m, like a 2.1 m fence, needs approval. Pool fencing has its own rules, and a shared boundary fence involves your neighbour. We'll flag anything relevant when we quote.

Can you use my old panels?+

Sometimes. It depends on the job and what condition your panels are in. If they're in good shape, we can reuse them as long as we're putting in new posts. We generally recommend new panels, though, because new steel keeps your warranty. Anything we reuse doesn't come with a warranty.

Will you take my old fence away?+

Yes. Swapping out a tired timber or old steel fence is the most common job we do. We take the old fence down, build the new one, and take the offcuts and rubbish away with us.

How soon can you build my Colorbond fence?+

Generally we're booked about 2 to 3 weeks ahead, sometimes 4 in busy periods. We do anywhere from 20 to 50 site visits a week, so it's first in, first served: once you pay your deposit, your spot is locked in and we'll give you an exact start date.

Do I need to talk to my neighbour?+

On a shared boundary, the conversation with your neighbour is best coming from you. Have a chat before you book, agree on how you'll split the cost, and pick the colour together, since they'll be looking at the other side. It also helps on the day. If your neighbour has a dog and we turn up to an open boundary, they may have to take time off work to keep it safe, and nobody wants that. A quick chat beforehand avoids the hassle, and it's the neighbourly thing to do.

Do you need to get into my backyard?+

Yes. We need a clear path along the whole fence line to dig footings and stand the panels. If access is tight, or there are gardens, sheds or a pool in the way, let us know when you ask for a quote so we can plan around it.

Will you make a mess?+

Some disturbance is unavoidable, because every post needs a hole dug and concrete poured. We work carefully around your garden, clean up as we go, and leave the site tidy when we hand over.

Isn't every Colorbond fence the same?+

The steel might be the same, but the result isn't. A fence that stays straight for twenty years comes down to the part you never see: how deep and square the footings are, and how the posts are set. That's where we take our time, because we're built for what's behind the line.

Is it real Colorbond?+

Every fence we build uses genuine BlueScope Colorbond® steel, made in Australia to Australian Standards. No look-alike substitutes.
