Many people appreciate privacy but do not want a privacy fence that makes them feel as though they are walled in. The good news is that there are now many options when it comes to privacy fencing.

There are many reasons why people seek or need a privacy fence for their home. Living on a busy road, living in close proximity to neighbours or craving private and peaceful outdoor spaces are just some of these reasons.

Naturally, people should not be able to see through from either side of a privacy fence. Similarly, a fence should be adequately tall and attractive so that it complements the home and garden. It should not be overwhelming or intimidating.

There are many different options for privacy fences, including a fence made from dense growing plants or shrubs. Timber privacy fences are often a classic and appealing option and Colorbond fences offer a modern, low maintenance alternative and are available in a range of colours.

Vinyl fencing offers the appearance of timber but requires no maintenance, such as painting. Vinyl fences only need to be cleaned occasionally and can be expected to last a lifetime.
