Fencing cost calculator

Estimate a new Colorbond or timber fence. Enter the run length, pick a height and add gates, and get a realistic Australian price band. Same engine fencers use to quote.

/ Your job

Sum of every straight + corner. Measure off the site plan, or pace it out on site (1m ≈ 1.3 paces for an average tradie).

The biggest real-world price swing in fencing. Easy = flat soil/sand, normal digging. Sloped/stepped = falls or steps that slow setting out and post-setting (+20% labour). Rocky/hard dig = jackhammer / rock auger / coring needed (+15% labour and ~$55/post).

Estimate only. Real prices depend on your site, materials and access. Built on the Karven calc engine at typical 2026 AU rates.

What the estimate covers

  • Fence panels, posts, rails and footings
  • Install labour at a typical AU fencing crew rate
  • Gates and hardware when included
  • Standard residential ground conditions

What pushes the price up

  • Total length is the main driver - more metres, more cost
  • Height: 1.8m and 2.1m use more material than 1.5m
  • Gates, especially double or sliding driveway gates
  • Rock, slope, removal of an old fence and tricky access

FAQ

Fence cost questions

  • How much does Colorbond fencing cost in Australia?

    Colorbond fencing usually runs $90 to $160 per metre supplied and installed at 1.8m. A typical 30m run with one gate lands around $3,100 to $7,200 depending on height, gates and ground conditions.

  • Is timber or Colorbond cheaper?

    Treated-pine paling is often a touch cheaper up front, while Colorbond needs less maintenance over time. Hardwood and feature fencing cost more. This calculator is calibrated to standard Colorbond as the baseline.

  • Does the price include removing my old fence?

    The base band assumes a clear boundary. Removing and disposing of an existing fence adds labour and tip fees, which a fencer will confirm on site.

  • How do I get an exact fencing quote?

    This is a ballpark. For a fixed quote with your real boundary length, a local fencer running Karven can send a branded quote fast. Tap Get an exact quote.
