Local notes for Tempe

Local conditions: undulating, clay soils, narrow side passages and rear lanes; many fences are shared along the full depth of the block.

Slat and louvre screens over existing fences are popular for privacy on tight blocks in Balmain, Rozelle and Marrickville.
Lane access is the norm – we carry Colorbond sheets in from the lane and plan the build around parking and neighbours.
Lap-and-cap timber suits the Federation and Victorian streetscapes of Haberfield, Summer Hill and Dulwich Hill; Colorbond in Monument is the low-maintenance choice on rear boundaries.

Fencing questions in Tempe

Do you service Tempe?

Yes. Tempe 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 Tempe?

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. Inner West Council has many heritage conservation areas (Haberfield is entirely heritage-listed) with strict front-fence controls. Pool barriers must comply with AS 1926.1-2012 regardless. We tell you what we see on site, but only Inner West 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 Tempe neighbour, and can quote each side separately if you prefer.

Do you do supply only?

Yes. Colorbond panels, aluminium flat top and slat kits and gates can be supplied to Tempe for you or your builder to install – ask for a supply-only price on the quote form.

Is the ground in Tempe a problem for posts?

Undulating, clay soils, narrow side passages and rear lanes; many fences are shared along the full depth of the block. 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.
