About gates and automation
Gates fail before fences: hinges sag, latches drift and driveways demand something wider than the standard opening. Fencers build matching single and double swing gates and sliding gates for tight driveways, and automation runs from hardwired openers to solar kits for spots without nearby power. Get the gate posts oversized; automation punishes flimsy posts.
Getting quotes in Hobart
When you enquire about gates and automation, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. Specific enquiries get accurate quotes; vague ones get a callout fee and an on-site surprise.
Local knowledge counts
Because fencers in the Capital Cities region tend to group nearby jobs, flexible timing works in your favour in Hobart: if the work can wait a day or two, say so and ask whether that changes the price.
Quick answers
What are the pool fence rules?+
Nationally consistent fundamentals: minimum 1200mm height, gaps no more than 100mm, a 900mm non-climbable zone, and gates that self-close and self-latch away from the pool. States layer registration and inspection on top, and certification is required at sale or lease in several. Compliance is checked in millimetres, so use a fencer who certifies their own work.
How long does a new fence take to install?+
A typical suburban boundary run of 20 to 30 metres takes one to two days: posts set in concrete on day one, panels or palings after the footings cure. Weather, rock and old fence removal stretch that. Gates and automation are usually fitted last, sometimes on a short return visit.
Colorbond or timber, which is better?+
Colorbond wins on lifespan and zero maintenance; timber wins on upfront cost and looks where a painted or natural finish suits the streetscape. In termite-prone and bushfire-prone areas steel has a clear practical edge. Many blocks sensibly mix both: Colorbond on the boundaries, timber out front.
