Colorbond Perimeter, Aluminium Slat Access And Pool Fencing

When the owners of a newly built home near the Swan River in Ashfield began planning a major backyard transformation, the fencing needed to come first.

Before pool resurfacing and landscaping could move ahead, the property required a secure, finished perimeter that would also work with the broader renovation plans. FencrGatr® was engaged to coordinate and deliver the fencing works in stages, ensuring each component was completed in the correct construction sequence.

Stage One – Securing the Perimeter

FencrGatr® first coordinated the licensed removal of the existing asbestos-containing fencing before installing genuine COLORBOND® fencing in Monument around the property.

The boundary fencing was designed to provide privacy and security while also responding to varying ground levels around the block. Where additional ground retention and closure beneath the fence was required, Allywall retaining panels in Monument were incorporated into the installation.

The boundary system included:

• Genuine COLORBOND® steel fencing in Monument
• COLORBOND® sheets approximately 1790mm high
• COLORBOND® posts in Monument, including 2700mm and 3000mm lengths
• COLORBOND® rails in Monument
• Allywall retaining panels in Monument
• 300mm-high retaining beneath selected fence sections
• Westbuild Kwikset concrete
• Matching caps, screws, fixings and associated structural components

The fencing extended across the rear and both sides of the property, with the retaining requirements adjusted according to the conditions in each section.

Custom Aluminium Side Access

A custom aluminium slat pedestrian gate and matching infill panel were incorporated into the side boundary to provide secure access while maintaining the contemporary appearance of the new perimeter.

The gate was approximately 1800mm high and incorporated 65mm aluminium slats with closely controlled spacing within a fully welded frame.

The side access solution included:

• Custom aluminium slat pedestrian gate
• Matching aluminium infill panel
• 65mm aluminium slats
• Fully welded gate frame
• Posts, hinges and latch hardware
• Associated structural fixings

The Monument finish allowed the gate and infill to coordinate naturally with the adjoining COLORBOND® fencing.

Stage Two – Completing the Pool Enclosure

Once the perimeter fencing was established and the required concrete works had been completed, FencrGatr® returned to finish the next stage of the backyard transformation.

Approximately 24 metres of 1200mm-high flat-top aluminium pool fencing was installed around the resurfaced pool area, together with a matching pool gate.

The pool fencing included:

• Approximately 24 metres of 1200mm-high flat-top aluminium fencing
• Matching flat-top aluminium pool gate
• Powder-coated aluminium posts
• Dome post caps
• Brackets, screws and associated pool-fencing hardware
• Installation configured to suit the completed concrete surrounds and applicable pool-fencing requirements

The result was a coordinated combination of privacy fencing, secure side access and pool safety fencing that allowed the client’s wider landscaping and pool renovation to progress around a finished perimeter.

A Staged Approach to a Larger Renovation

One of the key features of this project was the way the works were coordinated around the broader backyard renovation.

Rather than attempting to complete everything at once, the project was delivered over several visits. The COLORBOND® boundary and retaining were completed first, followed by the custom aluminium side access, with the pool fencing installed once the surrounding concrete works were ready.

This sequencing allowed each stage to be completed properly and helped ensure the fencing integrated with the client’s wider plans for pool resurfacing and landscaping.

COLORBOND®, Allywall and associated boundary-fencing components were supplied through Fencing Supply Centre (FSC), Bayswater.

Client Feedback

The client expressed his satisfaction with the end result at each stage of the process, including the COLORBOND® perimeter fencing, custom aluminium side access and final pool fencing installation.

Almost a year after the original project was completed, FencrGatr® has since been invited back to quote on the next addition to the property, a strong indication of the client’s continued satisfaction and confidence in our work.

The project was completed in August 2025.
