We install aluminium and tubular fencing right across Geelong and the Bellarine. It's the open, see-through picket style — powder-coated aluminium or galvanised tubular steel — and it goes around pools, along the front of the house, on garden and security boundaries, and as balustrade infill. You can have it flat-top, loop-top or spear-top.
Aluminium doesn't rust — there's no iron in it to corrode — so it's the one to reach for on exposed Bellarine blocks, where plain steel pickets start weeping orange within a few years. Tubular steel gets galvanised and powder-coated for the same reason. When the fence is doubling as a pool barrier, we build it to the pool-safety rules and go through profiles and colours with you at the quote.
Request a QuotePowder-coated aluminium or galvanised tubular steel, in flat-top, loop-top and spear-top profiles. Rust-resistant, low maintenance, and built to AS1926 when it's doing duty as a pool barrier.
Aluminium has no iron in it, so it can't rust. Tubular steel is galvanised first, then powder-coated over the top — two coats standing between the salt air and the metal. Both hold up on exposed blocks near the bay where plain steel goes off fast.
No painting, oiling or re-staining. The powder-coat finish just needs an occasional hose-down to keep it clean.
Vertical pickets keep the view open — around a pool, across a front yard, or around a garden — where a solid fence would just box the space in.
Built to AS1926 when it's a pool barrier — right height, picket gaps under 100mm, nothing climbable on the pool side, and a self-closing, self-latching gate. We hand it over ready for the pool-safety inspector to sign off.
Flat-top, loop-top and spear-top profiles, plus matching balustrade panels for decks and steps. The powder-coat range lines up with common Colorbond and trim colours.
On an open fence, an out-of-plumb post or an uneven panel shows straight away. We string a line, set every post to it, and keep the picket gaps even before we sweep up and leave.
We price this style by the lineal metre. What the rate lands at depends on the height, the picket profile and what the site's like, so we come out, measure up, and give you an itemised free on-site quote instead of a number off the top of our heads.
Here's what moves the cost of an aluminium or tubular fence:
Four steps from the first measure to a finished fence line.
We measure the run, check the ground, and confirm style, colour and gates. If it's going around a pool, we flag that early — the barrier rules change how it's built.
Panels, posts, gates and clean-up — itemised, with material, style and colour written down.
We string the line and concrete the posts to height and even spacing. On a pool fence, spacing also has to keep picket gaps under 100mm with nothing climbable on the water side.
Panels go on, self-closing gates are hung and adjusted, and we check the line and every gap before we pack up. Ready for the pool inspector if that's what it's for.
Pool barriers, front-yard feature fencing, security boundaries and balustrade infill — four applications that come up most often around Geelong and the Bellarine.
The top of the picket sets the profile. Flat-top finishes level for a clean, modern line. Loop-top rolls each picket over for a softer look — with no point to grab, it's the profile we lean toward on pool barriers. Spear-top finishes in a point for a more formal, security look. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see them against the house.
Panels come in a powder-coat colour range that matches common Colorbond and trim colours — popular choices include Monument, Woodland Grey, Black, Surfmist and Jasper — so the fence ties in with your home and any existing fencing.
Aluminium and tubular fencing is semi-transparent — vertical pickets you can see through, which suits pool surrounds, front yards and gardens. Colorbond is a solid sheet fence that gives full privacy plus wind and noise screening, which suits side and rear boundaries.
Many Geelong homes use both: Colorbond for privacy on the boundaries, and aluminium or tubular at the front or around the pool where the open look matters. We can plan the mix so colours and heights work together.
