A front fence sets the tone for your entire property. In Melbourne, front fence design varies dramatically by suburb — from ornate Victorian-era iron lacework in South Yarra to sleek rendered walls in contemporary developments in Werribee.
Ideas by Style
- Heritage — Cast iron or woven wire with timber posts, respecting heritage overlay guidelines.
- Modern — Horizontal hardwood slats, rendered brick pillars with aluminium infill.
- Coastal — White picket or painted timber, popular in Brighton and bayside suburbs.
- Privacy — 1.5m+ rendered wall or Colorbond with landscaping.
Note: Front fences in heritage overlay zones may require a planning permit. See council requirements or fencing services.
