frankS Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Hi Guys. I'm in the process of having a new side fence built. 48 metres of 6' color bond fence and that does not enclude the first 5 metres of fence out front to the side. Gotta make a mess before you make it better. Day 1 pulled the old paling fence down, and shouldn't take long to build the new fence. Luckily I am not doing much labor just sort of supervising.

noelm Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Done lots of fencing over the years, colour bond is easy, but tricky at the same time, after you have worked out a "system" the jobs finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welster Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 48 meters thats a nice deep block. As they say you cant make an omlette without breaking an egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Noel. The guy that is doing the job seems to know what he is doing. Old fence removed and new color bond about 1/3 of the job done. We are using brackets to bolt to the concrete floor instead of sinking posts . We will concrete over them to tidy them up a bit.

Frank Did he weld the nuts on the dyna bolts so the fence can't be stolen? Don't laugh my mate laid turf and came outside the next morning to admire his handy work to be greeted by bare dirt.They steal anything these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Virtually the same thing happened to a mate of mine. Got several rolls of imitation grass delivered and within 1 hour there was a guy trying to load a roll into his ute, luckily my mate sprung him and the guy said " I thought they were dumped " .

The guy doing the job is nearly as old as I am, he's a bit slow but plods along all day and I think he is doing a reasonable job, I'm not too fussy if there is some very minor faults here and there as long as the fence looks good and stays upright. It sure is better than the old paling fence it has replaced which was never built properly in the first place. I done fencing in my younger days, paling, cyclone, but didn't do any color bond.

noelm Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) I put up about 6 panels of colour bond fence at my sons place last summer, it was about 40 degrees, no shade, and the ground was like concrete, every hole had to be dug with a bar and a pick, lucky I was the "brains" and he was the brawn.......his words "this is shit work" I just said "welcome to home ownership" Edited September 13, 2021 by noelm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
