Before you ask for prices, a little planning makes fencing estimates easier to compare.
Know the approximate length
Pace it out or use an online map measuring tool. Note any slopes, retaining walls or trees along the line.
Talk to your neighbour early
Boundary fences are often shared. Rules about dividing fences and cost sharing vary — check current guidance from official WA sources and your local council before work starts.
Choose what matters most
Privacy, security, pool compliance, low maintenance or appearance. Pool fencing in particular has specific safety requirements — ask businesses how they address them.
Decide whether you need a gate
Pedestrian, driveway or automated gates change the scope significantly. Mention them up front.
Compare scope, not just price
Removal and disposal of an old fence, post depth, footings and finishes all affect cost. Ask each business to list what is included.
This guide is general information only. Confirm specifics, including any regulatory requirements, with the business you choose and official sources.
