Your residential fencing is a vital part of your home. It helps keep you safe, protects your pets and garden and can add a dash of design to complement your house.
If you are thinking of installing a new fence on your property, hiring a professional fencing contractor has many benefits that are worth the initial cost.
Here are our top 5 reasons to hire a fencing contractor.
A licensed and insured fencing contractor can offer professional advice on which fence will suit your individual needs and have the know-how to complete the job properly.
While DIY projects can be really fun and rewarding, there are some jobs that are very costly to do incorrectly.
We do not recommend installing your own fence if you are not properly trained. Not only may the fence have problems, but it could even be dangerous.
Although it may seem costly on initial installation, having a professional install your new fencing will decrease costs in the long run by decreasing the need for repairs and maintenance.
For example, a large issue that layman installers can run into is not having the correct property lines marked before building the fence.
If they install your new fence on your neighbour’s property or install it too close to your home by mistake, then you will need to remove it and start again.
A professionally installed fence, especially one that includes a warranty, can often increase the value of your home.
Completing a DIY or hiring someone who is not properly trained in the process, may result in a sub-par finished product that requires costly fixes.
Hiring a professional contractor, such as our team at Amazing Fencing, will give you the peace of mind that your completed fence is perfect.
If you’re in the process of renovating your Sydney property or just in need of a new fence, you’ve probably already started shopping around and have discovered that there is an extensive range of different fencing styles out there these days.
Some fencing options are timeless and some styles will come and go pretty quickly—to help you decide on the ideal fence for your property, the experts here at Amazing Fencing have put together a summary of some of our top fencing options in 2020.
A timeless classic that doesn’t seem to be going out of fashion any time soon is the timber fence. The reason why timber fencing is still a top choice in 2020 is because of the minimalistic touch it brings to any property type. This means that you can update your property as the years go by and your timber fence won’t ever look out of place.
Another great aspect of timber fencing is that it’s available in a huge range of styles. This includes lapped fencing, lapped and capped, paling fencing and even Colonial style fencing.
A timber fencing style that has become increasingly popular in Sydney recently, particularly with smaller spaces, is timber slat fencing and privacy screens. We often recommend timber slat screening to property owners who are seeking a modern and fresh aesthetic for their property.
Another welcome addition to any Sydney home or business is a steel fence. For many years, Australian property owners have opted for steel fencing options such as Colorbond fencing because of the outstanding level of durability, privacy and security they bring. Even better, steel fencing is another minimalistic option and will still be a suitable style for many years to come.
In 2020, darker fencing colours have been becoming increasingly popular. Steel fencing options such as Colorbond and PermaSteel are available in a range of colours, so you will be able to find an option to suit the desired look you’re wanting to achieve.
If you are trying to stick to a budget, we recommend opting for PermaSteel for your new steel fencing addition. PermaSteel brings many of the same benefits of a Colorbond steel fence but for a more budget-friendly price.
Is it time for a new fence at your place? Here at Amazing Fencing, our team of experts specialise in a wide range of fencing options including both timber and steel fences.

Timber fencing has long been a welcome addition to Australian properties of all styles, sizes and ages. Here at Amazing Fencing, we are the specialists when it comes to timber fences and we are passionate about helping our clients find their ideal timber fencing solution.
If you have already started your research into timber fencing, you would be well aware that there are many different styles out there. So to help you decide which timber fence will be the best fit for your property, we’ve put together a summary to outline some of the most popular timber fencing styles.
Timber paling fencing is one of the most common forms of timber fencing. This type of fence is minimalist in appearance which makes it a suitable choice for all types of properties across Australia.
Ideal for boundary fencing, a timber paling fence is affordable, easy to install and when sourced from trusted timber suppliers and maintained properly, your timber paling fence will last for many years to come. We regularly recommend paling fences to those who are seeking a simple timber fencing choice that will provide security and privacy but won’t break the budget.
Lapped fencing is similar to pailing fencing due to its simplistic design. Here at Amazing Fencing, our lapped fencing options are perfect for properties old and new. Lapped fencing consists of two layers of overlapped timber palings—this minimal design makes it great for boundary fencing.
Similar to the lapped fencing option is lapped and capped fencing. The lapped and capped style is much like lapped fencing but the fence also has a paling along the top of the fence which acts as the capping. This creates a sturdier fence and also further adds to the overall appearance of the fence.
Colonial fencing has long been a popular choice for property owners who are wanting a traditional aesthetic for their home. Colonial fencing is a simple way to bring a decorative look to the exterior of your property and here at Amazing Fencing, our Colonial fencing is available in a range of styles and colour choices.
Some of these styles include decorative pickets and post tops. If you’re unsure of which style would best complement your property, our team of experts are always happy to assist.

Timber fences have long been a top choice for property owners and renovators who want to achieve privacy, security and bring a touch of character to their home. Timber is also a simple choice when you require a sturdy and durable fence—when timber fences are cared for correctly, they can last for many years after installation.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we source all our timber from trusted suppliers and ensure it has been properly treated to ensure longevity. However, if your fence has been previously installed by another company or you would just like to ensure you’re maintaining it correctly, our team of fencing experts have put together a summary of our top tips for timber fence maintenance.
One of the most important maintenance tips is to ensure that you regularly clean your timber fence. This will help to prevent mould and dirt from building up over time. You can use a clean cloth to wipe down your fence—if water restrictions in your region permit, you can also hose your fence or use a pressure washer.
If you intend to repaint or restain your fence after it’s been cleaned, we recommend you wait until the timber has completely dried first. This may take up to 48 hours.
If you notice any basic damages require attention, be sure to have them repaired as soon as possible. This will prevent them from becoming worse and turning into more serious repair or replacement jobs. Some examples of minor timber fence damages you might experience from time to time include splitting, rotting and loose panels.
Your timber fence isn’t indestructible and basic wear and tear will occur over time—be mindful of this and ensure you regularly inspect your fence to see if any minor damages have appeared.
Staining your timber fence will give it a fresh look and will also work as a protective barrier against changing weather conditions including the harsh UV rays of the sun.
If you’re considering restaining your timber fence, we recommend doing it in the evening so that the stain isn’t faced with a day of harsh sun while it’s trying to set.
Get in contact with the team of experts at Amazing Fencing today. We specialise in a range of timber fencing options as well as steel fencing solutions including Colorbond and PermaSteel.
A stain is a top choice for many renovators because it doesn’t take away from the natural look of the timber—it instead gives the fence a fresh tint of colour. For more information on any of our fencing services or to arrange your free quote—get in touch with the team today.
Are you looking for a new fence that won’t require constant repairs and updates? There’s a tonne of low-maintenance fencing options out there!
Here at Amazing Fencing, our clients often ask us about low-maintenance fencing types that will save them money down the track.
This is why we’ve created a simple summary to outline our top choices when it comes to low-maintenance fencing options.
Steel fencing has long been a fan favourite for property owners who are seeking a highly durable fence that will also help when it comes to privacy and security. If you’re looking for a durable fence that’s low maintenance—steel fencing is the one for you.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we install a range of trusted steel fencing products including Colorbond and the PermaSteel fencing range. Easy to clean, and strong enough to hold up against wild weather conditions—steel fencing is a simple solution if you’re wanting a low maintenance fence that won’t be easily damaged down the track.
Although Colorbond fencing is often the first thing that comes to mind when we think about steel fencing, PermaSteel is another name that we recommend. PermaSteel provides many of the same benefits of a Colorbond fence but it comes at a more affordable price. This is why PermaSteel is a great option for those wanting to stick to a budget but also don’t want to be left with a fence that’s easily damaged.
Timber fencing probably isn’t the first thing you would think of when it comes to low-maintenance fencing. But these days, you’d be quite surprised by how strong and durable timber fences can be. Here at Amazing Fencing, all our timber materials are sourced from trusted suppliers and the timber is specially treated before installation to ensure longevity and reduce the risk of termites.

Your new timber fence won’t always look as pristine as it did the day you had it installed. Some people like the weathered look, while others prefer their fence looking new and polished. Either way, repairs will most likely be necessary at some point. Over time, factors such as weather conditions, rotting, termites or general wear and tear are likely to have an impact on your fence.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we often have property owners asking us for help when it comes to their timber fencing issues and whether they should opt for a repair job or a complete replacement.
Have a read below as we investigate the most common timber fence issues and how to tell if you should repair or replace.
If the materials used for a timber fence haven’t been treated correctly, they’ll become susceptible to rotting. At Amazing Fencing, all the timber we use has been sourced from trusted suppliers and is properly treated to avoid issues with rotting. However, if your timber fence was installed by another company who didn’t treat the timber before installation, you could be at risk of dealing with a rotting fence.
If you detect the rotting early enough, you may not require a complete fence replacement. If the rotting hasn’t been detected soon enough and more than one-quarter of the fencing appears to be damaged, it’s best to consider replacing the fence completely.
Aging is, unfortunately, a fact of life—it even happens to your once new and fresh timber fence!
When your timber fence is out in the elements day after day, it’s going to eventually start showing signs of wear and tear. This could be in the form of wobbly posts, loose panels and it may start to look old and faded in appearance.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we construct high-quality timber fences that are designed to last for many years after installation. If your property is older and the timber fence was previously installed, you might be starting to notice some signs of old age. If the fence is more than 20 years old, it’s probably time for a replacement.
If you’re still not sure, contact a fencing specialist like the Amazing Fencing team and we can provide you with reliable advice on whether your fence requires repair or replacement.
These days, most timber fences will be specially treated to prevent the risk of a termite infestation. If in the unlikely event that you discover termites, we suggest you act quickly to avoid further damage occurring.
If detected early enough, you will need to have your fencing properly inspected and treated to ensure the termites are gone and won’t be returning. Complete termite inspections and treatments can, however, be costly, so it may be in your best interest to have a new fence installed.

If timber fencing isn’t for you, we also install a variety of steel fencing options including Colorbond fencing and PermaSteel fencing. Contact us today to arrange your free quote.

Timber fencing is a top choice for all kinds of properties, but sometimes there are instances where a different fencing option will be a better fit for your particular needs. For example, many of our clients come to us wanting a fence that is highly durable and able to hold up against wild weather conditions and deter intruders.

Don’t keep putting it off because you think it will end up being too expensive—there are many affordable and high-quality options out there
When it comes to your new fencing, there’s an extensive range of solutions that will complement your property and won’t leave your pockets empty.
One of the most affordable fencing options that we regularly recommend to our clients trying to cut costs is timber fencing. A timber fence is a timeless addition and will suit properties of all styles. Timber fencing can be easily customised to suit your preferences—this includes both the size and style.
If you’re searching for a traditional finish, a picket fence is often a top choice. If you’re wanting a basic boundary fence that will blend seamlessly with your property, a pailing fence or a lapped fence are both great choices.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we source our timber from trusted suppliers and we’re confident that it will last for many years to come.
This will end up saving you money down the track when you won’t regularly need your fence maintained or replaced.
You might think it isn’t possible to have a new steel fence installed without it going over the budget. This doesn’t have to be the case—there are many affordable steel fencing alternatives out there that still provide the same quality as the more expensive options.
One example that we install here at Amazing Fencing is PermaSteel.
The great thing about PermaSteel is that it brings many of the benefits that you’ll get from a Colorbond Steel fence but with a more budget-friendly price tag.
PermaSteel is available in a range of colours and it’s a simple solution when you’re wanting to bring both security and privacy to your property. We regularly recommend PermaSteel to clients seeking a highly durable fence that will still stay within budget.
Your renovation doesn’t have to be as expensive as you might think. By shopping around and finding more affordable alternatives, you can refresh your home for a realistic price.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we regularly work alongside property owners who are renovating their homes and we’re always more than happy to help them find the best fencing product to suit their needs and budget.
One of our favourite products we regularly install here at Amazing Fencing is our timber slat and screen fencing. If your property is due for a refresh or you’re simply in need of a new fence, an option you might not have considered is timber slat or timber screens.
We’ve put together a summary of the many benefits of timber slat screening and why you should seriously consider it for your property.
Timber slat screening is known for bringing a modern and fresh look to any property and is a simple way to create a clean and minimalist feel. Constructed using high-quality treated timber materials which are sourced from the most trusted suppliers, our timber slat products will provide your space with a completely natural element of style.
Easily customisable, our timber slat screening can be built to suit your specifications and will suit all property types of any age or aesthetic. We find that timber slat screening often works very well with smaller spaces.
Here at Amazing Fencing, our slat fencing is a top choice for those wanting to create a private outdoor space. The great thing about our slat screening is that you’re still able to achieve a private and secluded area but won’t have to completely sacrifice your views and the breeze flowing through.
Our timber slat screens are constructed using a range of high-quality materials including treated pine and hardwood slats, as well as galvanised steel posts. We only use the best possible materials to ensure your fence is highly durable and will last for many years to come.
There’s a huge range of different timber slat screening options available, so there will be something to suit your needs. Some of these styles include:
