Colorbond is one of the most popular fencing choices across the Macedon Ranges, and it's easy to see why. The steel won't rot, warp or attract termites, and its baked-on finish handles the region's frosty, wet winters without ever needing a fresh coat of paint. Whether you need a full boundary, a side fence for privacy or a secure line around a commercial property, Colorbond gives you a clean, low-maintenance result that lasts.

A full Colorbond boundary gives you a solid, private line around the yard in steel that won't need painting. Posts, rails and sheets come in matching colours, from a dark Monument Colorbond fence to lighter neutrals that blend in with the garden.
When an existing Colorbond fence is sound but too low for privacy, an extension adds height without replacing the whole run. A slat or lattice topper is fitted along the top of the panels, and fences over 2 metres may need a building permit, which is worth checking first.
A matching gate keeps the fence line uniform, whether it's a Colorbond swing gate for side access or a Colorbond sliding gate across a driveway where there's no room for a gate to swing. Gates are framed in steel and hung on posts sized for their weight, so they keep closing cleanly.
Posts set too shallow for the ground, or rails and sheets that aren't fixed securely, can leave a Colorbond fence buckling, leaning and dragging at the gates long before it should. Fixing that usually means pulling the line out and starting again.
Why Choose Us?
A Colorbond fence is a long run of steel sheets that catches the wind like a sail, so it's only ever as steady as the posts holding it up. Ground across the shire changes from block to block, from the red clays around Gisborne and Kyneton to rocky volcanic ground elsewhere. Post depth and footing size are set for what's under your block rather than a standard measurement, so the line stays straight for years.
The finishing details count just as much on steel. Rails are fixed level, sheets are cut clean and capped, and on sloping ground the fence steps down onto plinths so there's no gap at the bottom for pets to squeeze through. As Colorbond fence installers, we pull out the old fence and leave the site tidy, so the new boundary looks finished the day we pack up.
Here's what we bring to every Colorbond job:
Genuine Colorbond steel in matching posts, rails and sheets, with every post concreted in, so the fence holds its line and its colour.

Book your free measure and quoteSolid steel sheets leave no gaps between palings, so the yard is screened from the street and the neighbours' windows.
No painting, staining or replacing rotten boards. An occasional hose down keeps the finish looking fresh, leaving your weekends free.
Steel isn't affected by rot or termites, so the fence keeps its shape through wet winters and hot, dry summers.
A wide colour range lets the fence pick up the roof, gutters or trim, so it looks like part of the home rather than an afterthought.
The same finish faces both properties, which keeps the boundary looking tidy from next door and makes sharing the cost an easier conversation.
Steel sheets don't burn, which is worth weighing up for fences close to the house on bush blocks.

Any old fence is pulled out and taken away, and the fence line is cleared. We then string the line and mark each post position, adjusting the spacing where the ground drops or rock sits close to the surface.
Steel posts are concreted in at the depth your soil calls for. Once the concrete has set, the rails go on, the Colorbond sheets slide into place, and any plinths and gates are fitted.
We clear away offcuts and spoil from the post holes, then walk the fence with you and check every gate opens and latches. You're left with a straight, private boundary in the colour you chose.
As a rough guide, Colorbond fence prices in Victoria currently sit somewhere between $130 and $260 per metre for a standard 1.8 metre fence, supplied and installed on a reasonably flat, easy site. Your fence could come in under or over that range, so treat it as a starting point for budgeting rather than a price.
The things that move the price are extra height, gates, plinths on sloping ground, removing and disposing of an old fence, tight access, and rocky ground that needs drilling for the post holes. Long, straight runs usually work out cheaper per metre than short runs with corners and gates.

Darker greys are the most common choice because they suit most homes and hide dust and garden marks well. A Woodland Grey Colorbond fence or a Basalt Colorbond fence sits comfortably against most brick and rendered homes, and an Ironstone Colorbond fence gives a deep, warm grey that works with dark roofs. Monument is the darkest of the greys and suits modern homes with black trims.
If you've seen a Grey Ridge Colorbond fence mentioned online, that name isn't in the current Colorbond fencing colour range, so Shale Grey or Woodland Grey are the closest greys to ask about. Colours look different outdoors than on a screen, so it's worth seeing a sample against your house before you decide.

There's no pure white in the Colorbond fencing range. The closest thing to a white Colorbond fence is Surfmist, an off-white that people often search for as a Surf Mist Colorbond fence. It suits coastal and Hamptons-style homes and makes a small yard feel brighter.
For a light colour with a little more warmth, a Dune Colorbond fence is a softer neutral that hides dust better than Surfmist. Lighter colours do show dirt and garden splashes sooner than the darker greys, so they may need hosing down a little more often.
It can be, depending on how you want the front of the house to feel. A solid Colorbond fence gives full privacy along the street but can look closed in on a front boundary. That's why many homeowners choose Colorbond slat fencing at the front, which screens the yard while still letting light and air through. Lysaght's SlatScreen slat fencing comes in Monument, Surfmist and Woodland Grey. If you'd like a warmer look at the front, timber fencing in a slat or picket style is another option, and aluminium fencing comes in slat, picket and wood look styles that need almost no upkeep.
Front fences can also be limited in height by planning rules in some areas, so it's worth checking with Macedon Ranges Shire Council before you settle on a design.

Yes. Installing Colorbond fence panels on a slope is usually done by stepping each panel down the hill, with a concrete plinth filling the gap underneath so there's no opening at the bottom. On gentler slopes, the panels can sometimes be raked to follow the ground instead.
Rocky ground, including the volcanic rock found in parts of the Macedon Ranges, can mean drilling the post holes rather than digging them. It adds time to the job, so it's something we check for at the measure and quote, not something that turns up as a surprise later.
If your block slopes or you suspect rock under the fence line, call us on (03) 9605 3505 and we'll check it on site.
Hosing the fence down every few months removes dust and leaves before they build up, and a soft brush with mild soapy water takes care of anything stubborn. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, which can dull the painted finish.
Keep soil, mulch and garden beds from banking up against the bottom of the sheets, since constant damp contact is hard on any steel finish. If a garden bed needs to sit against the fence, a plinth along the bottom keeps the soil off the steel.
