Pricing guide

Cost variation is driven mainly by whether existing posts can be reused or a full post-and-footing replacement is needed. Premium materials or engineered footings usually add complexity and labour, and difficult ground conditions, restricted access or permit requirements can also increase the final scope.

  • Fence length and number of panels

    Longer runs need more materials and labour, so linear length is a primary driver of scope.

  • Whether posts can be reused

    Panel-only jobs that reuse structurally sound posts are typically less involved than full post replacement.

  • Footing and engineering requirements

    Engineered footings, deeper posts or retaining structures usually require more labour and specialised fixings.

  • Material type and finish

    Premium materials such as steel posts, masonry panels or specialist finishes often increase labour and specialised fastening needs.

  • Site and ground conditions

    Rocky ground, heavy clay, slope or limited site access can make excavation and installation more difficult and time-consuming.

Frequently asked questions

Do fence installers need to be registered?
Fencing work generally requires a registered or appropriately qualified installer, though exact requirements vary by state and territory. Ask your installer to confirm their registration or licence before work begins.
Can my existing posts be reused?
If the existing posts are structurally sound they can usually be reused for a panel-only replacement, which reduces labour and disruption. If posts are rotten, misaligned or not to the required standard, full post replacement and new footings are typically needed.
Will I need council approval or engineering?
Simple like-for-like fence replacements often don't need council approval, but engineered footings, retaining walls or masonry panels may require certified designs or permits. Your installer will usually advise if approvals or an engineer are likely to be needed.
What affects how long the job takes?
Duration typically depends on fence length, whether posts must be replaced, footing depth and ground conditions. Restricted access, weather or the need for specialised materials can also extend the time required.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to fencers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
