Straight answers
All common questions ↗Practical guidance before work begins.
Should I choose timber or Colorbond fencing in Bundoora?
Timber offers flexible detailing and a natural finish. Colorbond offers full privacy, consistent colour and low maintenance. Access, levels, existing structures and the result you want should decide the system.
Read the full guide →Is a sliding driveway gate or a double swing gate better for a Melbourne home?
The right option depends on your driveway layout. A sliding gate needs side runback for the opening width plus allowance for overlap, hardware and the gate tail; cantilever gates need additional support space. Double swing gates need a clear opening arc and allowance for driveway slope and wind. RJL measures the opening, ground levels and clearances before recommending the gate and automation system.
Read the full guide →What should I do if my neighbour refuses to split the cost of a new boundary fence in Victoria?
Under Victoria’s Fences Act 1968, adjoining owners generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence. A higher-standard fence or damage caused by one owner can change the contribution. Start with a clear RJL quote and try to agree in writing. If needed, serve a Fencing Notice and allow the neighbour 30 days to respond. Follow the applicable notice and dispute process before non-urgent work starts; do not assume automatic repayment.
Read the full guide →What are the current pool fencing compliance rules for homeowners in Victoria?
Residential pools and spas capable of holding more than 300 mm of water must be registered with the local council and have a compliant safety barrier. The applicable standard depends on the pool’s construction date and council records. Common checks include barrier height, ground gaps, non-climbable zones and gates that open away from the pool and self-close and self-latch. A registered inspector must assess the barrier, generally every four years, and the owner must lodge the certificate with council.
Read the full guide →Does a residential metal pool safety fence require electrical bonding?
Conductive fences, gates, spigots and other fixed metal near a pool may require equipotential bonding under AS/NZS 3000. The 1.25 m zone from the pool water edge is an important assessment consideration, but the complete installation and applicable Wiring Rules determine the requirement. Involve a licensed electrician before posts, spigots or concrete are installed. The electrician must assess, complete, test and certify any required bonding work.
