Aluminium Slat Gates & Fencing the Georges River area

Hurstville, Kogarah and the river suburbs — established homes and a lot of sloping blocks.

Local context

Working in Georges River

The Georges River LGA is largely established residential: post-war brick homes, a strong renovation and knock-down-rebuild market, and increasing medium density around the centres. Fencing work here is mostly boundary replacement and front fencing, often on blocks that fall away towards the river.

That fall is the practical theme. Blocks running down towards the river frequently have noticeable cross-fall along the front boundary, which is exactly the situation where the choice between stepping a horizontal fence and raking a vertical one actually changes how the finished job looks. On any run with real slope it is worth getting both options priced.

Newer builds through the area tend to want the contemporary look — dark horizontal slats matched to the roof and window frames — while the remaining original homes are often better served by picket.

What we are usually asked for here

  • Front fencing on sloping frontages
  • Boundary fence replacement
  • Driveway gates on renovated and rebuilt homes
  • Side-access pedestrian gates
  • Screening between closely spaced dwellings

Site conditions worth planning for

  • Cross-fall along front boundaries is common — decide between stepped and raked early
  • Newer builds usually want dark slats matched to roof and window colours
  • Retaining walls along boundaries need checking before panels are mounted on them

Questions

Georges River — questions we get asked

My front boundary slopes. What are my options?
Either step a horizontal fence down in even increments, or rake a vertical fence so it follows the grade continuously. Stepping suits noticeable falls and reads as deliberate; raking suits gentle, consistent slopes. Send photos along the run from both ends and we will recommend one.
