FENCING ETTALONG BEACH
Low Maintenance Fencing Built For Ettalong's Sandy, Low-Lying Ground
Colorbond, aluminium, glass and timber fencing installed across Ettalong Beach and the Woy Woy peninsula, with gates to match.
Fencing For Ettalong Beach Homes
Ettalong Beach sits on flat, sandy ground on the Woy Woy peninsula, where Brisbane Water opens into Broken Bay.
Ground conditions are what catch people out here. The flood study for the peninsula describes water sitting on road reserves and private property after long periods of rain, and a groundwater table that can rise and stay up for weeks. Sand drains fast but does not hold a post the way clay does.
Salt off the bay and the ocean does the rest. It is hard on cheaper finishes and on timber at ground level, which is why most new fencing around Ettalong is steel or powder-coated aluminium.
We install Colorbond, aluminium slat, aluminium tubular, timber, and glass and aluminium pool fencing across Ettalong Beach. You can also see the fencing areas we service if you are comparing options for Ettalong Beach or the surrounding suburbs.

Our Ettalong Beach Fencing Process
Reading The Ground Before We Price The Fence
On the peninsula the site visit is mostly about the ground. Where water sits after rain, how sandy the soil is and whether the existing fence has already moved all change the footings, and the footings change the price.
The two questions worth settling early are how deep the posts need to go, and whether the low corner of the block is the reason the last fence leaned.
Whether it is a side fence, a full boundary replacement or a pool barrier, you get a fixed price in writing and one point of contact from the first call through to handover.

Ettalong Beach Fencing FAQs
Colorbond fencing is the most common choice because it does not rot, warp or need painting. aluminium slat fencing and aluminium tubular fencing handle salt well and keep an outlook open, timber fencing still suits some older blocks, and around a pool glass pool fencing and aluminium pool fencing both meet the current NSW requirements. Salt-laden air and damp ground are hard on timber at ground level and on cheaper finishes, so material choice matters here more than it does inland.
Sand drains well but grips a post poorly, so footing depth and the concrete around the post carry more of the load than they would in clay. We check ground conditions at the site visit and set the posts to suit them, rather than digging a standard hole and hoping.
It can if it was not footed for the conditions. The Woy Woy peninsula is known for water sitting on the ground after long rain, and for a groundwater table that can rise and stay up for weeks. That is why we look at the low corners of a block before quoting, not after.
Colorbond steel and powder-coated aluminium need no painting, no oiling and no rot treatment. For a lot of Ettalong owners, particularly downsizers and people who are not on the property year round, that is the deciding factor over timber fencing.
Yes. We install pool barriers built to the NSW requirements, in glass pool fencing and aluminium pool fencing, including gates that open outwards and are self-closing and self-latching from any open position.
Cost depends on the material, the height, the length of the run, the number of gates and the ground conditions. Sandy or wet ground can change the footing, which affects the price, so we quote on site for free rather than guessing.
