Powder-coated aluminium and tubular steel fencing for homes across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula. Pool surrounds, front-yard feature fencing, security and balustrade — strong, low maintenance and rust-resistant by the coast.
Yes, we install aluminium and tubular fencing right across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula. It's the open, see-through picket fencing you see around pools, front yards and gardens — built from powder-coated aluminium or galvanised tubular steel for pool surrounds, feature fencing, security and balustrade, in flat-top, loop-top and spear-top styles.
It's the fence people reach for on the coast for one reason: aluminium doesn't rust. Plain steel pickets near the bay will weep orange down the rails inside a few years; aluminium just doesn't have the iron to corrode, and the powder-coat takes the rest of the punishment. Where it's doing duty as a pool barrier we build it to the pool-safety rules, and we'll run you through profiles and colours at the quote.

Aluminium has no iron to rust, full stop. Tubular steel gets galvanised first, then powder-coated over the top — two layers between the salt and the metal. Both leave plain steel for dead anywhere within a few kilometres of the bay.
No painting, no oiling, no re-staining every few summers like timber. The powder-coat just wants a hose-off when it gets dusty or salty. Over twenty years that's the difference between a weekend job you keep putting off and one you never have to think about.
You can watch the kids in the pool from the kitchen window through a tubular fence. The vertical pickets keep the view open and the front yard feeling wide, where a solid fence would box it in.
As a pool barrier it's built to AS1926 — the right height, picket gaps under 100mm so a toddler can't slip through, no climbable rails on the pool side, and a gate that closes and latches itself. We hand it over ready for the inspector.
Flat-top for a clean modern line, loop-top for a softer finish, spear-top where you want something more formal — plus matching balustrade for decks and steps. The powder-coat range lines up with the usual Colorbond and trim colours.
An open fence hides nothing — a post out of plumb or a panel off-line shows from the street. So we string a line and set every post to it, keep the picket gaps even, and sweep up before we go.
This style is priced by the lineal metre, and the rate shifts with height, picket profile and what's already on the ground. We measure and put it in writing — a free on-site quote, not a number off the top of our heads. Powder-coated aluminium usually sits a touch above plain tubular steel, and a spear-top costs more than a flat-top for the extra fabrication.
Factors that affect your fencing cost include:
Four steps from the first measure to a clean, plumb fence line.
We measure the run, check what we're digging into, and sort out style, colour and gates. If it's going around a pool we flag that early, because the barrier rules change how it's built.
Panels, posts, gates, clean-up — itemised, with the material, style and colour written down so there's no "I thought you meant black" later.
We string the line and concrete the posts to height and even spacing. On a pool fence that spacing also has to keep the picket gaps under 100mm and nothing climbable on the water side.
Panels go on, the self-closing gates get hung and adjusted, and we sight down the line and check every gap before we pack up. Ready for the pool inspector if that's what it's for.
From pool barriers to front-yard feature fencing, the open picket look suits anywhere you want security and a tidy boundary without losing the view.
This is the fence for when you want a clear boundary that still lets you see through it. Around Geelong and the Bellarine, four jobs come up again and again.
It's the top of the picket that sets the whole look. A flat-top finishes level for a clean, modern line. A loop-top rolls each picket over — softer to look at, and because there's no point to grab, it's the one we lean toward on pool barriers. A spear-top finishes in a point for a more formal, security feel. We'll bring samples to the site visit so you can see them against the house.
Panels come in a powder-coat colour range that matches common Colorbond and trim colours — popular choices include Monument, Woodland Grey, Black, Surfmist and Jasper — so the fence ties in with your home and any existing fencing. [NEEDS: confirm exact powder-coat colour range stocked]
They solve different problems. Aluminium and tubular fencing is semi-transparent — the vertical pickets let you see through, which is exactly what you want around a pool, across a front yard or framing a garden. Colorbond is a solid sheet fence that gives full privacy plus wind and noise screening, which suits side and rear boundaries.
Plenty of Geelong homes use both: Colorbond for privacy on the boundaries, and aluminium or tubular at the front or around the pool where the open look matters. We're happy to plan the mix so the colours and heights work together.
