Fencing in Australia ranges from $15 for basic options to $3,000 for premium options like glass pool fencing or automated gates. Prices include GST and installation. Shared boundary fences — neighbours typically split the cost 50/50 under the Fences Act.

For boundary fencing, timber paling and basic chain link offer the lowest upfront cost. However, metal fencing (Colorbond in AU/NZ, vinyl in US/CA) lasts longer with less maintenance, often making it better value over 15–20 years.

In most jurisdictions, boundary fence costs are shared equally between neighbours. Check local fencing legislation for notice requirements and dispute resolution processes before starting work.
