Kalamunda Fencing Contractors

It depends on what you’re building. The City of Kalamunda lets a front fence up to 1.2 m go ahead without approval. Building permits are needed for non-masonry fences over 1.8 m, masonry fences over 750 mm, retaining walls of 500 mm or more, and any pool fence. Two things outside the City’s rules can limit your design as well: conditions attached to your property title, and bushfire-prone mapping from DFES. Look both up before you pick a style. The City’s front fencing policy covers the front-fence detail, and the DFES map shows whether your address is mapped.

A pool or spa holding water deeper than 300 mm needs a barrier that meets AS 1926.1, and the City requires a building permit to erect a pool fence. Pools in Kalamunda are registered with the City, and its inspectors check barriers on a four-year cycle, so the fence has to stay compliant long after it’s installed. See the City’s swimming pool page and our guide to pool fence regulations in WA.

It depends on what you need. Colorbond sheets give you privacy and a solid look. Garrison is open, heavy-duty steel that suits security and larger rural-style boundaries. With bushland close by in many parts of Kalamunda, note that both fence types are made of steel, which doesn’t burn. That doesn’t make any fence fireproof. Our Colorbond vs Garrison comparison goes through the trade-offs.

The Dividing Fences Act starts from an equal split for a sufficient fence, but a written deal with your neighbour overrides it. Raise it with them early, and don’t take down an existing fence without their consent. For the step-by-step process, see our Dividing Fences Act guide or the government’s dividing fence guide.

On a steep block the Colorbond runs in stepped sections that follow the ground, and each post is set to suit what’s underneath, whether soil, clay or rock. If the slope needs holding back, we can build the retaining wall as well, and we’ll tell you at the visit whether it needs a permit.

Yes. We install Colorbond gates matched to the fence colour and profile, plus slat gates and sliding gates for wider openings. Tell us the opening width at the visit and the quote covers fence and gate together.

Check what the quote actually says: the fence height, the colour, the gates, and what happens to the old fence. Find out whether the person who visited your site will be on the job, and read the warranty wording closely. Ours covers materials and workmanship for one year. Photos of work on sloping blocks are worth asking for too, since hills jobs are harder than flat ones.
