Fencing in North Epping

North Epping is one of the suburbs we cover in Hornsby Shire Council – boundary fences, gates, extensions, pool barriers and retaining walls. A free measure in North Epping, a written quote the same day where possible, and a licensed installer on the tools – that is how every job here runs.

Fencing in North Epping

The Bushland Shire – Hornsby, Cherrybrook, Pennant Hills, Thornleigh, Beecroft and the semi-rural north around Galston, Arcadia and Berowra. Large leafy blocks, many backing onto reserves.

What we install in North Epping

  • Colorbond fencing – new boundary fences and replacements in 1.5 m to 2.4 m heights, any Colorbond colour, either sheet profile
  • Fence height extensions – 300 mm or 600 mm louvre, lattice, slat or sheet toppers on your existing Colorbond posts
  • Retaining walls under fences – treated pine or aluminium sleeper walls built directly under the new fence where levels differ
  • Timber fencing – treated pine paling, lapped and lap-and-cap on galvanised steel posts
  • Gates – Colorbond single and double gates, slat, louvre, timber, pool and sliding or automatic driveway gates
  • Aluminium fencing – rust-free flat top, vertical picket, blade and slat aluminium fencing for coastal and front-boundary use
  • Pool fencing – aluminium flat top and tubular barriers built to AS 1926.1-2012 with self-closing gates

Local notes for North Epping

Ground and access shape the price more than anything else in North Epping: sandstone ridges and gullies with shallow soil in places; bushfire-prone land borders most of the shire.

  • Rock is common – we allow for coring post holes where sandstone is close to the surface.
  • Bush-backed blocks in Hornsby Heights, Berowra and Mount Colah favour steel fencing; Colorbond gives ember and termite resistance that timber cannot.
  • Cherrybrook and Pennant Hills homes often add 300 mm or 600 mm louvre or lattice extensions to existing Colorbond for privacy from two-storey neighbours.

Fencing questions in North Epping

Do you service North Epping?
Yes. North Epping 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 North Epping?
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. Hornsby Shire Council applies the NSW codes; heritage conservation areas in Beecroft, Cheltenham and Wahroonga limit front-fence height and materials. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only Hornsby Shire 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 North Epping neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.
Can you remove the old fence in North Epping?
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 North Epping a problem for posts?
Sandstone ridges and gullies with shallow soil in places; bushfire-prone land borders most of the shire. 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.
