We have been following WDU every day and a lot of the properies seem to have 6ft corrugated fencing. Is there a reason for this??? Horrible neighbours? LOL

Some councils are anal about what fencing is used on estates and colorbond fencing is high up there. Less termite damage and sort of thing.

People value their privacy, especially in the suburbs. A 6ft fence is perfectly normal. Mine is at least that high and screened by trees and shrubs. Colourbond is wonderful stuff. Sure beats the old asbestos fencing that was common in my childhood days.

Just wondering, is there a height restriction on how high garden fences can be, region depending of course

ColorBond fencing is everywhere. I agree its not the most attractive type of fence but it doesn't rot or get eaten by termite (more of a problem than you might realise). I guess the other thing is that you dont have to paint it and it doesn't really faded in the intense sunlight like wood fence might. The negative I suppose is that should it get a smack from either side with anything it dents and once dented you aint going to fix it.

Some land estates tell you how high and what material you can build fences with. Some wont allow fences full stop, it just depends on the location in which you buy.

1.8m is a common height, but some councils say 2m.

Some places have no fencing or walls out the front. We've got 1.8m high Colorbond on the rear boundary, placed on top of a limestone retaining wall. For the front, we've completely enclosed the front garden with 1.8m high white picket fencing, to make it safe for the kids - but as it's made of PVC, there's no painting involved. There are so many house and maintenance chores, that you cut done on work where you can.

To me it seems much more common in Perth than here is Brisbane. It was always seen as cheap and tacky back in the day and was only used in cheap homes. Maybe times have changed.
