Colorbond fencing uses corrugated steel panels, pre-painted with durable, weather-resistant coatings. The result is a fence that’s rust-resistant, low maintenance, and long-lasting, making it ideal for Melbourne’s varied climate — from hot summers and UV exposure, to coastal salt air and windy conditions.
As owner-operator at Easy Love Fencing, I (Ari) install each fence myself — ensuring correct alignment, strong footings, and a clean final look.
Colorbond Fencing Right for You If:
- You want a long-lasting, low-maintenance fence.
- You value full privacy and security.
- You live on an exposed, windy or coastal block.
- You like a clean, modern fence finish that matches your home.
- You prefer to deal directly with the installer (no middle-man).
If most of the above apply — Colorbond fencing is a great choice. I’ll help you pick the right specs and install it properly from start to finish.

What to Consider Before Installing Colorbond Fencing in Melbourne
Estate or Council Guidelines:
Many Melbourne estates have rules on colour, height, and finish. I’ll help you pick compliant options.
Post Depth & Footings:
Posts must be concreted deep enough to resist wind pressure and soil movement. I take care of correct footing — owner-installed.
Drainage & Ground Clearance:
On sloped blocks or flood-prone sites, panel clearance and drainage must be planned to avoid ground contact or flooding.
Gate Integration:
If you plan gates (sliding or swing), you should decide early — gate posts need extra reinforcement.
Longevity expectations:
While Colorbond lasts decades, small scratches or damage should be repaired quickly to prevent corrosion.
Maintenance & Care for Colorbond Fences
Wash panels with a garden hose or low-pressure washer every 6–12 months to remove dust, salt, or debris.
Inspect for scratches or damage; treat small marks promptly to prevent rust.
Trim nearby plants or vines; avoid direct soil contact.
Check gate hinges/posts periodically if attached — ensure smooth operation and stability.
