Fencing in Pennant Hills

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

Fencing in Pennant Hills

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 Pennant Hills

  • 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
  • Pool fencing – aluminium flat top and tubular barriers built to AS 1926.1-2012 with self-closing gates
  • Fence and gate repairs – leaning posts, storm damage, insurance repairs and gates that will not latch
  • Security fencing – 2.1 m steel security panels, roll top and sliding gates for schools, churches and commercial sites

Local notes for Pennant Hills

Local conditions: 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.
  • 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.
  • Bush-backed blocks in Hornsby Heights, Berowra and Mount Colah favour steel fencing; Colorbond gives ember and termite resistance that timber cannot.

Pennant Hills straddles the boundary of Hornsby Shire Council and The Hills Shire Council; check which council your rates notice names before relying on either set of fence rules.

Fencing questions in Pennant Hills

Do you service Pennant Hills?
Yes. Pennant Hills 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 Pennant Hills?
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 Pennant Hills neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.
Which Colorbond colour suits Pennant Hills?
Monument, Woodland Grey, Basalt and Surfmist are the most chosen colours across Hornsby; two-tone fences (one colour for sheets, another for posts and rails) cost no more. See the Colorbond colour chart for exact swatches.
Is the ground in Pennant Hills 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.
