Question 1

What fencing type is best for a factory in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

For most Sydney factory perimeters, the choice comes down to budget and security level. Colorbond steel is the most cost-effective option for basic perimeter definition. 358 welded mesh provides a higher security level with anti-climb properties at a moderate price premium. Palisade steel is the most imposing visual deterrent and suits high-value asset facilities.

Question 2

Does factory perimeter fencing in Sydney require council approval?

Accepted Answer

Fencing on industrial-zoned land in Sydney is generally Exempt Development under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, meaning no DA is required. Fencing above 3 m or adjacent to a residential zone boundary may require a Complying Development Certificate or DA. We assess this before starting work.

Question 3

Can you install factory fencing while the facility is operating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly stage factory fencing installations to avoid disrupting operational loading docks, truck movements, and production areas. We work in sections, maintaining vehicle and pedestrian access at all times. Works can be staged over multiple weekends or after business hours if required.

Question 4

How do you handle vehicle impact damage to factory fencing in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Forklift and vehicle strikes are a common cause of factory fence damage. We carry replacement Colorbond panels, chain link mesh, and palisade section repairs on our vehicles for fast turnaround. For frequently impacted areas, we can install concrete bollards or heavy-duty steel crash barriers to protect the fence line.

Question 5

What is the cost of factory perimeter fencing per metre in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Factory perimeter fencing costs in Sydney range from $65–$120/m for Colorbond, $90–$160/m for chain link/cyclone, $120–$200/m for 358 mesh, and $150–$280/m for palisade. Prices depend on height (typically 1.8–2.4 m for industrial sites), post spacing, concrete footing depth, and total perimeter length (longer runs reduce per-metre cost).
