Seaside Village Fencing

Fencing Portarlington's Village Homes and Holiday Houses

Portarlington is a seaside village on the northern edge of the Bellarine, and on most blocks the bay is only a few streets away. The older cottages sit close to the waterfront and the pier; newer homes are further back from the water. Each has a different fence problem.

Who lives in the house changes the brief. Full-time residents want privacy, security and something that looks right from the street. Holiday-home owners need a fence that holds up through a winter with nobody there to notice a loose sheet or a lifting post, so for them we lean towards low-maintenance materials and stronger footings from the start.

We install Colorbond fencing and hardwood timber palings across Portarlington, with poured concrete footings, galvanised fittings and Bugle Batten screws on every job. Blocks near the waterfront and the pier get the most salt, which is where Colorbond's coated finish earns its keep; timber stays popular on homes that want to keep the village look. Older fences that the bay air has worn down, we repair.

Questions

Your Portarlington Fencing Questions

Colorbond, for most holiday homes. It doesn't need painting, staining or checking between visits, and its coated finish handles the salt air and bay winds that Portarlington gets all year. If you'd rather keep the relaxed village look, hardwood timber built with treated materials and corrosion-resistant fasteners is a solid option too; it just asks for a bit more upkeep.
Three things push a Portarlington quote around. Distance from the water: blocks near the pier and foreshore take the strongest salt and wind, so fittings and footing depth step up. The fence that's already there: older cottages often have a line that's been patched together over the years, and pulling it out is quoted separately. And the choice between Colorbond and hardwood timber. Height and run length set the rest. We quote for free on site — call 0485 577 980 to arrange a visit.
Portarlington is within the City of Greater Geelong. 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 confirming requirements with the City of Greater Geelong for your specific property. We're happy to discuss what we observe during our free on-site visit.
Yes, and investment properties too. The brief is just different. People living here full-time usually want privacy, security and a fence that looks good from the street; a holiday house needs one that can go a whole winter without anyone checking on it. We'll suggest materials and a build to suit whichever yours is. Call 0485 577 980 for a free quote.
