  • Timber feature fencing
  • Lap & cap fencing
  • Decorative privacy screens

Security Fences

Stronger Boundaries, Better Privacy, Secure Access.

Security fencing is about more than height. It’s about strong posts, clean lines, reliable materials, secure gates and fencing built properly from the ground up. Ridgeback Fences can help with privacy-focused fencing, secure side access, lockable gates and boundary upgrades that make the property feel safer and more controlled.

  • Stronger Boundaries

    Proper post footings, level top lines and strong materials.

  • Secure Side Access

    Lockable side and pedestrian gates planned around daily use.

  • Privacy-Focused

    Privacy-led panel choices that reduce sightlines into the yard.

Our process

A clear quote, a fair deposit, and a finished fence you’re happy with.

We know the biggest worry when hiring a fencer is paying a deposit and never seeing them again. Here’s how we do it, plainly.

  1. 01

    Free measure & quote

    Oliver visits the site, measures the line, walks through options, and answers your questions. Quotes are based on a single rate per lineal metre — labour, materials, and removal and disposal of any existing old fencing all included. No obligation.

  2. 02

    Job scope confirmed

    We agree the materials, fence height, gates, access plan, and any sleepers or retaining. Everything in writing.

  3. 03

    60% deposit to lock in

    A 60% deposit secures your install slot and orders the materials. Paid only once the scope is signed off.

  4. 04

    Work completed properly

    We install on the agreed dates, coordinate with neighbours where needed, and clean up the site as we go.

  5. 05

    Final 40% on completion

    The remaining 40% is paid once the job is done and you’re happy with it — not before. Anything a client would like fixed or adjusted in regards to our fencing work will be done straight away and with enthusiasm.

What customers say

What customers are saying.

Real written reviews from Ridgeback Fences customers — no fabricated quotes, only verified words from people Oliver has built fences for.

I would totally recommend Oliver and his business. He is prompt and reliable, turns up on time and when he says that he will and kept me updated on the progress on a daily basis. He also made sure that he explained different options to me on the fence line to make sure that I would be happy with the end result. I was so happy with the result, the yard looks amazing and has made such a huge difference to the area now and it's so good knowing that my dog is safe and can't escape due to the extra efforts that Oliver did on the fence line for a little Staffy. Thanks so much.

I would like to thank you for the fence you constructed for me in Inala. It works perfectly creating the privacy it was intended to. I was impressed by your attention to detail, particularly working around a tree I want to stay. Your timeline worked perfectly as scheduled. Thank you again.
