Metal fencing covers the styles a solid boundary fence does not. Tubular steel, the vertical bar fencing you see across front yards in Ringwood, Croydon and Bayswater, gives you a secure, see-through boundary that suits period and modern homes alike. It comes in garrison and spear-top profiles, powder-coated in colours that hold up to Melbourne weather, and it pairs naturally with a matching gate.
Aluminium slat fencing is the other side of the category, and it has taken off on contemporary homes. Horizontal slats in charcoal or a woodgrain look give you privacy and a clean architectural line at the front of the house, without the upkeep of timber. Both tubular steel and aluminium are light, strong and largely maintenance free, which is why they work so well for front boundaries, infill panels and privacy screens.

Good to know
We never quote prices. Local fencing contractors price your exact job. Cost depends on the style (tubular steel, garrison, spear-top or aluminium slat), the length and height, the number of gates, and whether an old fence is coming out.

Tubular steel uses vertical bars for a secure, see-through boundary, popular for front yards and around the house. Aluminium slat uses horizontal slats for a modern, more private screen. Both are powder-coated and low maintenance. Your contractor can quote either so you can compare the look and the cost.
Yes. It marks the boundary and adds security while keeping the yard open and the street view clear, which suits both period and modern homes across the outer east. Front fences often have council height rules, and a local contractor will build to them.
Very little. Powder-coated aluminium holds its colour and shrugs off Melbourne's weather, so an occasional wash is usually all it needs. There is no painting or rot to worry about, which is a big part of its appeal.
Usually, yes. Most metal and tubular fencing comes with matching pedestrian and driveway gate options, including manual or automated driveway gates. Mention the gates you want when you request quotes so the contractors can include them.
