Considerations for Choosing a Front Fence
Depending on your priorities, you may have your work cut out for you. Choosing the fence that best provides security is easy, but it gets complicated when you also want it to match your property. Don’t worry; we’re here to help you make the process less of a hassle.
Your House’s Theme
As a city with a rich, 200-year-long history, Melbourne still has its fair share of homes from its colonial days. They’re practically begging to be seen in this day and age, so your choice of Melbourne fencing shouldn’t obstruct that. This is especially the case when it has a vibrant front yard garden to show for it.
Neighbourhood Security
Sadly, break-ins and other property-related crimes are a dime a dozen in bustling cities like Melbourne. Your choice of fencing has to account for how often criminal activity occurs in your community. Not all fences are designed to keep out trespassers and other undesirables, and you may need to compensate for this.
Front Landscape Composition
If privacy will be an issue when considering aesthetics for a front fence, a flourishing garden can help fill that gap. A picket fence in Melbourne will look magnificent when it has a growth of flowers and shrubs behind it. If you have neither the resources nor time to maintain a garden, other options can also work.
Your Budget
All the previous factors won’t matter if you can’t afford your desired fence. Even with the cheapest fence, the cost of enclosing the front yard alone can go for hundreds of dollars. That said, if your need for Melbourne fencing can’t wait, our fencing experts can assist in looking for a solution.
Front Fence Design Options
Open
Open front fence designs prioritise visibility from the outside, a prime choice for homeowners who want to show their house’s façade to the world. However, this option often comes at the cost of privacy and security.
Open fences include:
Semi-Open
This front fence design is a balance between visibility and security. By limiting the former to individual slats on the fence, people outside can still get a glimpse of the house’s front yard without compromising the latter.
Semi-open fences include:
Privacy
Privacy fence designs prevent prying eyes from looking at the front yard, reducing the risk of break-ins and criminal activities within the premises. Often used in backyard fencing, these also work at the front.
Privacy fences include:

Frequently Asked Questions
Is putting up a front fence legal?
If you’re referring to the century-old law in Canberra that prohibits homes from erecting front fencing, you should know that it isn’t being enforced as strictly as before. On top of that, states other than the ACT have no similar laws in place.
If you’re still unsure, you can consult your local council.
Are your fences low maintenance?
Some of our fencing solutions, like timber fencing, require some TLC to keep them in good condition. But if you want low maintenance options, we have tubular steel and aluminium fences. Our fencing experts can help you decide what’s best for your home.
Are gates included with the fence?
Depending on the project, we can also fashion various gates using the same high-quality materials we use for our fences. Choose between our assortment of gate options, such as automatic or sliding gates.
