Fencing in Burwood

A compact inner-west council of Federation and interwar homes on established streets, with apartment growth around Burwood station. Side and rear boundaries are shared and often replace ageing timber paling.

What we install in Burwood

  • Timber fencing – treated pine paling, lapped and lap-and-cap on galvanised steel posts
  • Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
  • Gates – Colorbond single and double gates, slat, louvre, timber, pool and sliding or automatic driveway gates
  • Fence and gate repairs – leaning posts, storm damage, insurance repairs and gates that will not latch
  • Retaining walls under fences – treated pine or aluminium sleeper walls built directly under the new fence where levels differ
  • Fence height extensions – 300 mm or 600 mm louvre, lattice, slat or sheet toppers on your existing Colorbond posts
  • Pool fencing – aluminium flat top and tubular barriers built to AS 1926.1-2012 with self-closing gates

Local notes for Burwood

What we look for at the measure in Burwood – gently undulating, clay soils, mature street trees and many narrow rear lanes.

  • Access is the usual challenge – materials often come through the house or over the fence from a lane, which we plan for at the measure.
  • Heritage conservation areas cover much of Burwood – front fences there usually need to match the period style.
  • Lap-and-cap timber is chosen to match the Federation streetscape in Burwood Heights and Croydon; Colorbond in Monument or Woodland Grey is the modern alternative.

Burwood Council

Under the NSW exempt development rules a boundary fence behind the building line can be up to 1.8 m high without approval on most residential lots. Burwood Council's heritage conservation areas (Appian Way, Burwood Heights and others) have front-fence controls that override the exempt rules. Council website.

Fencing questions in Burwood

Do you service Burwood?
Yes. Burwood is inside our Sydney-wide service area and we quote there regularly. Site inspections and written quotes are free, and travel is included in the price.
Do I need council approval for a fence in Burwood?
Under the NSW exempt development rules a boundary fence behind the building line can be up to 1.8 m high without approval on most residential lots. Burwood Council's heritage conservation areas (Appian Way, Burwood Heights and others) have front-fence controls that override the exempt rules. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only Burwood Council can confirm what applies to your property.
How is a shared boundary fence paid for?
Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act adjoining owners generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. We give you a copy of the quote to pass to your Burwood neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.
Can you remove the old fence in Burwood?
Yes – demolition and removal of the old timber, Colorbond or brick fence is itemised in the quote, including tipping. Bonded asbestos fencing is handled by a licensed removalist we arrange.
Is the ground in Burwood a problem for posts?
Gently undulating, clay soils, mature street trees and many narrow rear lanes. Where we hit rock we core the hole or use flanged posts; where levels differ we build a sleeper retaining wall under the fence. Both are priced up front.
