Fencing for Ocean Grove's Coastal Lifestyle

Ocean Grove keeps growing. New estates are going in on the edges of town while the older weatherboard homes near Ocean Grove Main Street and the beach are on their second or third fence, so the work here splits two ways: full fencing from scratch on new builds, and replacing or repairing tired timber on established places.

Fencing right across the peninsula — see our Bellarine Peninsula fencing overview.

Being on the ocean side of the peninsula brings its own wear. Sand blows against fence bases and the onshore breeze carries salt that slowly corrodes standard fittings. The fences nearest the beach cop the worst of it, though places several streets back feel it after a few years too. The ground varies as well: one block is flat sand, the next has a dune falling across the backyard. So every Ocean Grove job gets poured concrete footings, galvanised fittings and Bugle Batten screws.

On a new build in one of the estates, a Colorbond boundary in the colour that suits the house is the usual choice. On an older place with palings that have seen better days, we can rebuild in timber or switch to Colorbond. We also repair anything from a single panel to a full run.

What Sets Our Ocean Grove Fences Apart

Fencing in Ocean Grove — FAQ

Two houses on the same Ocean Grove street can quote differently for the same fence. A flat sand block is the simpler job; a block with a dune falling across the backyard needs stepped or raked panels and more set-out time. If an older paling fence has to come out first, that's its own line. Close to the beach, corrosion-resistant fittings matter more, and sand needs a wider, deeper footing to grip a post. Poured footings and galvanised fittings are standard on every job, and the quote is free — call 0485 577 980 to arrange a visit.
Yes. The sandy soil near Ocean Grove's ocean beach drains freely and doesn't grip a post footing the way heavier clay does, so posts set in loose sand without proper concrete tend to shift and lean. We always pour concrete footings, never dry-mix, on Ocean Grove properties, and set the depth to your ground. That matters most on blocks closest to the beach and the Barwon River.
Ocean Grove is within the City of Greater Geelong council area. A building permit is needed for a side or rear fence over 2 metres, a front fence over 1.5 metres within 3 metres of the street, a corner fence over 1 metre within 9 metres of an intersecting street, and a brick or masonry fence over 1.2 metres. A planning permit is a separate approval and can apply on its own, for example under a Heritage Overlay. We recommend checking with the City of Greater Geelong for your specific property. We can also discuss permit considerations during our free on-site quote.
