The way we build any fence is by following best work practices as well as using the best possible quality AND correct amount of materials and fasteners! More often than not, we note that many of our competitors fail to do any of these things and the difference it makes both initially, and over the longer term is HUGE!  Everyone who understands that you "Get What You Pay For" should look closely at the following evidence of what we not only are saying, but in practice are actually doing!

Under "Good Fences" we will show you how we space palings to be exactly 50mm apart and level all the way meaning the fence won't start showing gaps everywhere and look neat.  We will also show you why we use longer posts to ensure the top rail is close to the top of palings so they don't bend like bananas while also being deeper in the ground for added stability (mostly using concrete to set) and how careful we are to with the post cut outs so they are stronger and neater!  We also use full size rails throughout not the inferior smaller gauge ones.

You may also note that we don't skimp on the use of galvanised fasteners as others often do, and in some cases, they don't even use galvanised fasteners but black ones instead that are eaten up by treated pine in no time flat!

Last but not least, like anything done properly it takes extra time to get the best possible finish of the fence and or gate, so therefore our fences may take a little longer than others but that's what it takes to get it right - the first time!

First let’s look at the "Good" and then we shall look at the "Bad", you be the judge as to whether these so-called cheaper fences were worth paying anything for and whether they enhance the value of the property that they are built on?

• Testimonial: "After years of past bad experiences with 2 dodgy fencers and being ripped off with this fence being incorrectly installed and falling over just after 6 weeks from installation. Alastar came to the rescue, he repaired and replaced our fence and restored my faith again."

Colorbond® fencing and gates should be a good option for you if you would like a fence that stays looking good for many years, however just like paling fences if they are not built using best practices and using best materials your additional investment may amount to zero!

If you have read our paling section, you will know what we do and why which includes using longer than standard posts set in high strength concrete for long lasting stability of your fence as well as using the correct number of approved fasteners and so on.

Here are some examples of how we go about building Colorbond® fencing and gates, as well as how some of our competitors go about building theirs, was it any cheaper? You be the judge!

A poorly constructed retainer wall is not only unsightly but can in some instances be downright dangerous!

Often, it's what you can't see that will make a difference to the integrity and longevity of your retaining wall, meaning things like protective membranes, scoria and aggy pipe to assist with drainage are more often than not ignored by the less than conscientious operators. Things like the hole depths, concrete and supports are all too often skimped on as well and that's before we get into the quality of the materials used and general workmanship.

Some examples of both ways of doing it are shown above and as always you be the judge.

This customer initially approached one of our V.I.P. F&HM team members to build a front feature steel picket fence with gate and small retaining wall.

The "Good Fence" shown is the Quality Fence he was building when approached by them for this one, they went with a cheaper price from another company with the result being, well what can we say? 

So much for the golden rule of real estate being "street appeal"!
