Overview

Fencing That Becomes Part of the Property

Feature fencing is for homeowners who want the fence to do more than mark a boundary. Whether that’s a front feature fence, a timber statement section, a privacy screen or a matching gate and fence combination, the goal is the same — the fence should suit the home and lift the look of the property.

Ridgeback Fences quotes feature work in writing — material, height, gates and finish all confirmed before any deposit so there are no surprises once the build starts.

FAQ

Feature Fencing Questions

What counts as a feature fence?
A feature fence is one that is built to improve the look of the property as well as the boundary — front fences, statement timber sections, decorative privacy screens, lap and cap fences, or a gate and fence combination designed to suit the home.
Do feature fences cost more than standard fencing?
Feature fencing usually costs more per metre than a basic boundary fence because of the materials, detail and finish involved. Oliver quotes everything in writing so you can compare options.
Can you combine a feature fence with a matching gate?
Yes. Gates are planned at the same time as the fence so the materials, height and finish all match the line.
Will the fence suit the look of my home?
Material, height and detailing are discussed on the day of the measure so the finished fence reads cleanly against the home rather than fighting it.
