Fencing in Regional WA: Rural, Residential & Stock Yards

Boundary fences, stock fencing, yards and gates — fencing across regional WA ranges from a suburban Colorbond run to kilometres of rural fenceline. Here's how to get it right.

Match Fence to Purpose

Residential, rural, stock and security fencing are different builds. Be clear on what the fence needs to do — contain stock, mark a boundary or secure a yard.

Dividing Fence Rules

For shared boundaries, WA's Dividing Fences Act means neighbours usually split the cost of a sufficient fence. Notify your neighbour and agree before you start.

Built to Last

WA conditions are hard on fencing. Quality posts, materials and installation cost more upfront but save you redoing it in a few years.
