Colorbond or timber?

Both make a good boundary. Colorbond doesn't rot, doesn't need painting and stays straight, which suits a low-maintenance garden. Timber paling costs less up front and is easier to repair one section at a time. Jake can price both on the site visit so you can compare.

Check your title

Some Frankston properties have a covenant on the title that limits front fence height or style. Frankston City Council flags this too, so check your title before you plan a front fence.
