Glass & Fencing in Kellyville, Sydney

The Hills Shire requires a Development Application for any pool fence above 1.2m and any pool barrier modification. We manage the DA paperwork as part of the install — including engineering certification, AS 1926.1 compliance documentation, and the post-install inspection booking. Most DAs run 4-6 weeks. We don't book the install until the DA is approved so customers don't end up with materials on site waiting for council.

Galston, Castle Hill rural-zoned, and outer-Hills properties often have 200m+ driveways with weight restrictions or seasonal mud. We do a site-access check before manufacturing so we know whether we can drive the materials truck to the boundary or need to relay from a staging area. Long boundary runs (100m+) are also priced per-metre across the full run rather than per-section, so the access factor is amortised.

Hills District backyards typically have mature plantings — established jacarandas, frangipanis, native shrubbery. We use plywood site-protection mats over garden beds during spigot drilling, and we plan the spigot-drilling sequence to avoid root-zones where structural roots are visible. For tight spigot positions near a tree, we'll switch to surface-mount with anchor epoxy rather than core-drill into a root zone.

Hills District properties backing onto Cumberland State Forest, Pennant Hills Park, or Lane Cove National Park sit within bushfire-attack-level (BAL) zones — typically BAL-12.5 or BAL-19 for park-fronting boundaries. Council requires non-combustible boundary materials (colorbond, concrete sleepers, or aluminium) on the bushland side. We confirm BAL rating with council before quoting timber boundary fencing on any park-fronting property.
