What great fencing installations look like
We treat every project like it’s our own property. A quality outcome blends planning, compliance, materials, and execution:
Plan first, dig once
Site assessment & levels: We check falls, soil, utilities, and access before a hole is dug.
Boundaries & neighbours: We work with your plans or survey info to keep everything on the right side, literally.
Look & function: Security, privacy, pets, pools, or a front feature? We align fence style to your goal, not a catalogue.
Compliant and future-proof
Local rules: South-East Melbourne councils and estates can vary, corner blocks, pool barriers, and heights all matter. We make sure your fence installation Melbourne is compliant before we start.
Longevity: Smart post depths, correct footing sizes, corrosion management, and the right powder-coat finish make all the difference two winters from now.
Materials that match your lifestyle
Steel picket & pressed-spear: Durable, classic security with a traditional Melbourne look.
Vertical blade: A bold, architectural profile with tight, elegant lines.
Aluminium slat: Modern privacy with low maintenance, excellent for coastal air or heavy rain cycles.
Custom metalwork: Gates, screens, and façade elements fabricated to suit your property.
The Walnut Fencing install method
Measure & mark: Confirm boundaries, heights, and post centres to the millimetre.
Set posts & footings: Correct depths, straight lines, and concrete cures that actually cure.
Rails & panels: Square, level, and true so your fence reads clean across the length of the block.
Fixings & finishes: Stainless or galvanised fasteners where they matter; powder-coat care to protect your investment.
Detail & clean-up: We finish edges neatly, adjust gates for smooth swing, and leave your site tidy.
Key point: A fence is only as good as its post set-out and footing. Get those right and everything else follows.
Choosing your fence style
Style / Material | Best For | Look & Privacy | Care Level |
Aluminium Slat | Privacy + modern homes | Contemporary lines, medium–high privacy | Low maintenance |
Steel Vertical Blade | Fronts & side returns | Architectural, strong street appeal | Low–medium |
Picket/Rod Top | Classic frontage | Open look, neighbourhood-friendly | Low–medium |
Pressed Spear (HD) | Security & industrial | Strong deterrent, clear boundary | Medium |

Answering what you’re already Googling
“Fence installation how to” — DIY videos won’t tell you how your clay soil, easement, or sloped block will behave. We’ve learned those lessons so you don’t have to.
“Fence and installation” packages — We’ll scope, fabricate, and install with one clear plan and one accountable team.
“Order fencing” or “order fence” online — Smart for standard parts, risky for custom sites. We combine precise site checks with custom fabrication so everything fits first time.
