If your boundary is a straight run on level ground, pre-fab steel fencing gets the job done at a lower cost. If your site slopes, has an irregular boundary line, needs to match an existing custom gate, or sits on a prominent street frontage where the fence is part of the presentation, custom fabrication is worth the extra step — it’s built panel-by-panel to the actual site rather than adjusted after the fact. And if you want a finished, coloured fence with next to no upkeep, Colorbond® is the low-maintenance option.
