Deciding on a new fence to gain privacy and enhance your property can be a tough decision with the number of options available nowadays. However, choosing the right fence is essential to ensuring its longevity, stability and overall safety of your property whilst maintaining your property’s aesthetic.
As one of the most popular fences in Australia, Colorbond fencing ticks almost every box when it comes to fencing. Not only are they made to resist the harsh Australian climate, they are corrosion resistant, fire and termite proof and very easy to clean and maintain. This makes them a very cost-effective choice for many. The modular design they come in also allows Colourbond fencing installation to be hassle-free, and provides an opportunity to apply creative ideas to spruce up your fencing.
1. Two-tone Panel Designs
Colorbond fencing comes in 22 different shades— each of which is inspired by Australian landscapes. For those seeking even more customised options, Colorbond Fences can be painted or installed in a two-tone panel design to create a multifaceted boundary design. This allows you to mix two complementary colours or two contrasting colours, depending on personal preference, which can add depth and a custom self-designed feel to your fencing.
2. Vertical Garden Integration
For those who love all things green and lush, a vertical garden or pocket planters can be attached to your Colorbond fence. Vertical gardens are great for places with limited space, and make excellent feature walls that draw attention. Fill the vertical garden with herbs, flowers or succulents and turn your fence into a living wall.
3. Decorative Laser-Cut Panels
At Mackson, we offer metal craftwork that can be utilised as screen inserts and overlays over your Colorbond Fence to add creative art features. Our metal work is stylish and contemporary, and a perfect contrast against Colorbond fencing. All designs are custom-made, and can feature a variety of imagery, including weaves, florals or geometric patterns.
4. Fence Capping
To make a Colorbond fence look more polished, you can install a fence capping over the corrugated edges. This will finish off your fencing look, as well as protect your fence by enhancing its structural integrity and providing a water barrier.
5. Mood Lighting
Lighting is always a good addition to set the tone of any space, and it can ultimately do the same for your Colorbond fencing. Installing strip lighting or placing solar lights along the top or the posts of your Colorbond fencing will help highlight the structure at night, creating a cosy ambience. It will also help enhance security, making it more visible. For more permanent lighting, installing uplights on the baseline of your fence can create a brighter space that feels contemporary.
6. Custom Painted Murals
For those wanting to get creative and hands-on with their fencing, a custom-painted mural is a great idea for brightening up and adding some personality to your fencing. Other mural options that are less permanent are magnetic panels, which can be interchanged.
7. Mixed Materials
Mixed materials are always a great look for outdoor areas, and can be used to make your Colorbond fencing stand out and complement. Combine Colorbond with sections of brick, timber slats and even concrete to create textured layers across your boundary. The finished result will provide more depth, more neutral tones and provide a rustic yet contemporary look.
8. Slatted Inserts or Screens
Slatted inserts are perfect for areas where fencing is needed to provide light, airflow and visibility, but still provide maximum security. Choosing to add inserts to the top, bottom, or in between colorbond fencing is not only creative and secure, but also doesn’t compromise on home aesthetics.

9. Lattice or Trellis Tops
For those wanting a more traditional fencing style, adding a lattice or trellis top to your Colorbond fence is recommended. This addition allows your fence height to be extended without blocking light or airflow. The lattice shape is also perfect for climbing plants like bougainvillaea or jasmine, which can create garden feature walls along your boundary.
10. ColorBond Gates Kits
Many property owners prefer a completely uniform look across their architecture and design, including for fencing. Opting for a Colorbond gate alongside Colorbond fencing boasts extra safety, security and aesthetics. At Mackson, we offer DIY Colorbond gate kits, that come with everything you need for installation.
