Colorbond Fence Sheets: Colours, Sizes & What to Know
Colorbond fence sheets are the most popular residential fencing choice in Australia. Here is a complete guide to colours, sizes, installation and where to buy in Victoria.
Colorbond steel fence sheets are the most popular residential fencing choice in Australia — and for good reason. They are durable, low-maintenance, available in a wide range of colours and provide a clean, modern appearance that suits virtually any home.
FPM Building Supplies stocks Colorbond fence sheets and a full range of fencing components for projects across Victoria.
What Are Colorbond Fence Sheets?
Colorbond fence sheets are corrugated steel panels manufactured from BlueScope's Colorbond steel. The steel is pre-painted in a range of standard colours and is designed for use in residential and commercial fencing applications.
The sheets are installed vertically between steel posts, held in place by horizontal fence rails that clip into the posts.
Standard Dimensions
Colorbond fence sheets are available in standard heights to suit common fence heights:
- 1800mm (1.8m) — the standard residential fence height across most of Victoria
- 2100mm (2.1m) — for additional privacy or security
- 2400mm (2.4m) — for taller boundary fences
Sheet width is typically 762mm, with the corrugated profile providing the structural rigidity needed for fencing applications.
Popular Colorbond Colours
Colorbond is available in a range of standard colours. Popular choices for residential fencing include:
- Monument — a deep charcoal grey, one of the most popular contemporary colours
- Night Sky — a near-black tone for a bold, modern look
- Woodland Grey — a warm mid-grey that suits a wide range of homes
- Basalt — a cool dark grey with a slightly blue undertone
- Paperbark — a warm off-white/cream tone
- Surfmist — a light grey-white, one of the most popular lighter colours
The right colour depends on your home's exterior colour scheme, the surrounding landscape and personal preference.
What Else Do I Need?
A complete Colorbond fence system requires:
- Fence sheets — the main panels
- Fence rails — horizontal rails that the sheets attach to (top, mid and bottom)
- Posts — C-channel posts or H posts to support the rails and sheets
- Post caps — to finish the top of the posts
- Concrete — for setting posts in the ground
- Under-fence plinth (optional) — to fill the gap at the base of the fence
FPM Building Supplies stocks all of these components.
Colorbond Fencing on a Retaining Wall
Colorbond fencing is commonly installed on top of a concrete sleeper retaining wall. In this case, the fence posts are typically set into the retaining wall posts or into separate footings above the wall.
FPM Building Supplies can supply both the retaining wall materials and the Colorbond fencing components for combined retaining wall and fence projects.
