Fencing cost Sydney 2026: how much does a new fence cost?
A new fence in Sydney can start from around $160 per linear metre for Colorbond, $200 per metre for timber paling and $250 per metre for timber lap & cap.
But the price per metre is only part of the final cost.
A 20-metre fence can be straightforward on one Sydney property and considerably more expensive on another because of demolition, difficult access, concrete, sloping ground, sleepers, gates or retaining requirements.
So before you compare fencing quotes, it helps to understand what you are actually paying for.
Below are Best Fence’s current indicative prices, followed by a practical explanation of what can increase or reduce the cost of your fencing project.
What affects fencing cost in Sydney?
When comparing fencing prices in Sydney, it is important to look beyond the advertised price per metre. The final fence cost can vary depending on the material, fence height, site access, ground conditions, demolition requirements and whether the project includes sleepers, gates or retaining work.
