Fencing across Ku-ring-gai Council

What we install in Ku-ring-gai

• Pool fencing – aluminium flat top and tubular barriers built to AS 1926.1-2012 with self-closing gates
• Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
• Retaining walls under fences – treated pine or aluminium sleeper walls built directly under the new fence where levels differ
• Aluminium fencing – rust-free flat top, vertical picket, blade and slat aluminium fencing for coastal and front-boundary use

Ground, access and local conditions

Ridge-top suburbs with deep gullies; sandstone and clay, large trees along boundaries and many sloping rear yards.

• Pool fencing and aluminium alternatives to glass are in constant demand in St Ives, Turramurra and Wahroonga; we build to AS 1926.1 and advise on the non-climbable zone.
• Long, sloping rear boundaries in Killara and Pymble are stepped or retained; Colorbond in Woodland Grey and Monument blends into the bush setting.
• Tree protection orders are taken seriously here – we set posts to avoid significant roots and tell you when an arborist is needed.

Fence rules in Ku-ring-gai 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. Ku-ring-gai Council has extensive heritage conservation areas and strong tree-protection rules; low, open front fences are the norm and solid front fences generally need approval. Pool barriers must meet AS 1926.1-2012 regardless of council. Read our NSW pool fencing guide, and confirm anything about your own block with Ku-ring-gai council.
