And their popularity is only increasing! Not sure if a Colorbond fence is a good idea? Check out our infographic to discover some great advantages that you should consider:
![Highly Durable: Made from official Bluescpe steel, Colorbond fences can withstand sctreme weather conditions such as rain, heat, wind and hail. Additionally, unlike traditional wood fences, Colorbond fences will not rot, warp, flake or be eatan by termites or ther pests. For added peace of mind, all of of Colorbond fences are covered by Bluescope's 10 -year warranty.
Fire Resistant: Fire resistance has become incredibly important in Australia. In 2005 research conducted by the Bushfire CRC and the CSIRO into the performance of residential fences in bushfire [1] found that "of the different materials tested, pre-painted and metallic coated sheet steel fencing (in this case made from COLORBOND steel) performed best under all exposure conditions and in particular when faced with a 30-minutes flame immersion test used to stimulate potential effect of an adjacent house fire, which is common during bushfire event".
Easy to Maintain: Colorbond fences are so easy to maintain! There's no need for spending the weekend painting or staining your fence, all you need is to wash it down with a hose every six months or so to remove any cobwebs or dirt build-up.
Looks Great: Colorbond fences and gates have a fantastic modern and minimalistic look! They come in a variety of dark, light colours, making it easy to match the style of your home and its surroundings.
