Choosing your fence

If you're unsure which style best suits your property, you don't have to figure it out on your own. Our team is available to answer questions and help you choose the right solution before you request quotes.

FenceBuddy includes the full Our Town Fencing range: Fenscreen boundary fencing, blade fencing, garden fencing (including picket styles), pool fencing, slat fencing (pre-built panels or DIY Loov-A-Slat® kits), security fencing and gates, including automated options.

Boundary fencing (our Fenscreen range) is a flat-sheet steel panel system built for full-length privacy. Fenscreen Classic is Colorbond® steel, available in 29 colours. Fenscreen Plus comes in four standard finishes. Fenscreen Unique offers two timber-look options.

Blade fencing uses aluminium blades for a more architectural, semi-open look. It comes in three ranges: Deco at 900mm and 1200mm, OzSafe with slimmer blades for more visibility and Econo at 900mm.

Slat fencing sits in between, horizontal slats either prebuilt or built on site, popular for feature sections or extending an existing fence.

Standard boundary fence panel heights are 1.5m, 1.8m and 2.1m, allowing you to meet council requirements or choose the level of privacy that suits your property.

You can also customise your fence by adding a colour-matched aluminium sleeper or treated pine sleeper beneath the fence to increase overall height, help retain garden beds or accommodate sloping ground. For additional privacy or a decorative finish, you can also add a lattice or Slattice® fence topper.

Yes. In fact, it's one of the most popular approaches. Many homeowners install Fenscreen boundary fencing along the sides and rear for privacy, then choose a feature fence such as blade, slat or picket fencing across the front to complement their home's style.

FenceBuddy allows you to assign different fencing styles to different sections of your property, so you can design a fence that's both practical and visually appealing.

Tell us your address and we account for location factors such as coastal corrosion exposure or bushfire (BAL) requirements. Your installer will then factor them in when recommending materials and preparing your quote.

Our fencing styles are on display at our showrooms across NSW, QLD and VIC, open six days a week, so you can see the products up close before making your decision.

Where suitable, we can also create an AI-generated visualisation of your chosen fencing style on your property, giving you a clearer idea of how the finished project will look before you commit.

Standard boundary fences at standard heights usually don't need approval. The exceptions worth checking: front boundary fences, corner blocks, anything above standard height, pool barriers, heritage or special-character areas.

Your council's website answers most of it in minutes and installers working in your area know the local rules well.
