Colorbond, timber, picket, pool, rural & security fencing – Devonport & North West Tasmania

Devonport’s Trusted Fencing Contractors – Built Strong, Straight and Built to Last

A quality fence does more than mark a boundary. It gives your family privacy, keeps kids and pets safe, protects your property and lifts the street appeal of your home. VIT Construction builds fences the right way – deep-set posts in concrete, genuine BlueScope Colorbond® or H4 treated timber, and clean professional finishes that stand up to North West Tasmania’s wind, rain and salt air.

We are a local, fully licensed and insured team based in Devonport, servicing Latrobe, Ulverstone, Penguin, Burnie, Spreyton, Port Sorell, Sheffield and everywhere in between. From a single side-boundary fence to full rural and commercial fencing, we deliver honest fixed-price quotes and turn up when we say we will.

Colorbond® Steel Fencing

The most popular choice for Tasmanian homes. Colorbond fencing is low maintenance, termite-proof, never needs painting and is available in the full range of colours including Monument, Woodland Grey, Surfmist, Basalt and Shale Grey. We install standard, lattice-top and slat-top panels with matching gates, plinths and retaining panels for sloping blocks.

Timber Fencing

Classic treated-pine paling fences, lapped and capped privacy fences, hardwood feature fences and merbau screening. All our timber fencing uses H4 treated posts, galvanised fixings and exposed-post or picket-capped designs to suit your home. We can also stain or paint to your chosen colour.

Picket & Feature Front Fences

Give your home a welcoming first impression with a traditional white picket fence, a modern horizontal slat fence or a rendered pillar-and-panel design. We match heights, spacings and gate styles to your home’s character.

Fully compliant pool fencing to Australian Standard AS1926.1 – frameless glass, semi-frameless glass, flat-top aluminium and Colorbond options. We understand Tasmanian council requirements and build so you pass inspection first time.

Rural, Farm & Lifestyle Block Fencing

Post-and-rail, post-and-wire, stock fencing, ring-lock, horse fencing and boundary fencing for farms and lifestyle blocks across the North West coast. We have the machinery to handle long runs, uneven ground and rocky terrain efficiently.

Security & Commercial Fencing

Chain-wire, tubular steel, palisade and Colorbond security fencing for warehouses, schools, sports grounds, car parks and industrial sites – including automatic sliding and swing gates with access control.

Gates – Pedestrian, Driveway, Sliding & Automatic

Every fence needs the right gate. We build and install single and double swing gates, cantilever sliding gates, aluminium slat gates and can supply automatic gate motors with remotes and intercom.

Fence Repairs, Removal & Replacement

Storm damage, rotten posts, leaning panels or an old fence that has seen better days? We repair what can be saved, remove and dispose of what can’t, and replace with a new fence – often in a single day for standard residential jobs.

Retaining Walls & Fence Combinations

On sloping blocks we build treated-pine or concrete sleeper retaining walls with the fence installed directly on top – one team, one quote, one clean finish.

Sharing the Cost With a Neighbour?

Boundary fences are usually split 50/50 under Tasmania’s Boundary Fences Act. We provide separate quotes for each neighbour and can supply the paperwork you need to give notice – making the whole process simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new fence cost in Devonport?

A standard 1.8m treated-pine paling fence typically starts from around $95–$130 per metre installed, Colorbond from around $110–$160 per metre, depending on length, ground conditions and gates. We give free fixed-price quotes so you know the exact cost upfront.

Colorbond or timber – which is better?

Colorbond is low maintenance, termite-proof and never needs painting – ideal for coastal Tasmanian conditions. Timber is cheaper upfront and has a classic look but needs staining every few years. We'll help you choose based on your budget and home style.

Do I have to split the cost with my neighbour?

Under Tasmania's Boundary Fences Act, neighbours usually share the cost of a standard boundary fence equally. We provide separate quotes for each party to make it easy.

How long does it take to build a fence?

Most residential fences (20–50 metres) are completed in 1–3 days. Posts are usually set on day one and panels fitted once the concrete has cured.

Do I need council approval for a fence?

Front fences under 1.2m and side/rear fences under 2.1m generally don't need a permit in most Tasmanian councils. Pool fencing must comply with AS1926.1. We'll advise you if any approval is needed.

Can you build a fence on a sloping block?

Yes. We use stepped or raked panels, retaining plinths or a sleeper retaining wall with the fence on top to get a neat, level result.

Do you remove the old fence?

Absolutely. Removal and responsible disposal of your old fence is included in our quote.

What areas do you service?

Devonport, Latrobe, Spreyton, Port Sorell, Ulverstone, Penguin, Burnie, Sheffield, Wynyard and surrounding North West Tasmania.
