Fencing questions, answered
Straight answers from a licensed Melbourne fencing contractor. More detail in our full fencing FAQ.
How much does a timber paling fence cost in Melbourne?+
The cost depends on the fence length, height and your site. The fastest way to know your price is the free instant online estimator: enter your address, draw your fence line, and get an accurate estimate in about 2 minutes. We then confirm the formal price at an on-site measure.

Use the free online estimator to get an instant estimate in 2 minutes. Enter your address, draw your fence line on the map, and receive an accurate price immediately, no sales calls required.
Is the on-site fence measure free?+
The online instant estimate is free and takes about 2 minutes. The on-site measure, where the formal quote is confirmed, has a $150 fee that is fully credited toward your fence, so it costs nothing extra when you go ahead with the job.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Victoria?+
Most standard side and rear boundary fences up to 2 metres do not need a building permit in Victoria. A permit or council consent is generally needed for a front fence over 1.5 metres (2 metres on a declared main road), any fence over 2 metres, and all swimming pool barriers. Rules vary between councils, so check with your local council for anything unusual.
Who pays for a dividing fence between neighbours in Victoria?+
Under the Victorian Fences Act 1968, adjoining owners generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. If you want a higher-spec fence, you usually cover the difference. The process starts with a Fencing Notice to your neighbour.
How long does a timber fence last in Melbourne?+
A well-built treated pine paling fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years in Melbourne, often longer. Concrete-set posts, good drainage and an exterior stain or paint every 5 or so years push a fence toward the long end of that range. Every Expanse fence uses concrete-set posts and carries a 5-year structural warranty.
Should I choose a timber paling fence or a Colorbond fence?+
Timber paling is the most popular and cost-effective choice in Melbourne, with a natural look and a 15 to 20 year lifespan. Colorbond steel costs more but is low-maintenance and will not rot or warp. We install both.
How long does fence installation take?+
A typical suburban boundary fence of 20 to 30 metres takes one to two days on site: old fence removed and posts set in concrete on day one, rails and palings once the concrete has taken. Longer runs, tight access or extra gates add time.
Is Expanse Fencing licensed and insured?+
Yes. Expanse Fencing is run by a registered building practitioner (Victorian licence C-DBU 67771), fully insured, and every fence carries a 5-year structural warranty.
What areas does Expanse Fencing service?+
All Melbourne metropolitan suburbs: eastern, south-eastern, southern, northern and western suburbs across Greater Melbourne.
