What are the standard heights for LYSAGHT SMARTASCREEN® fencing?

The standard heights are 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm and 2100mm.

I've heard that COLORBOND® steel should not be immersed in concrete. How will this affect my LYSAGHT® fence posts?

Most fences feature galvanised steel posts and COLORBOND® steel infill sheets. Immersing the galvanised steel posts in concrete does not cause any corrosion problems but you should not allow the concrete to contact the rails or infill sheets of the fence. Check with your fencing supplier.

What do I do if my LYSAGHT® fence gets scratched? Will scratches lead to corrosion?

It is best not to touch up minor damage, such as scratches, with paint. Minor scratches will not affect the performance of your fence because the galvanised and aluminium/zinc coatings effectively protect any cut edges or scratches from corrosion.

Can I use LYSAGHT® fencing in a saltwater environment near the ocean?

COLORBOND® steel fences should not be installed within 1 kilometre of marine, severe industrial or other corrosive environments.

Can LYSAGHT® fencing be used as a retaining wall?

No. LYSAGHT® fencing has not been designed or tested for use in this application. It is highly likely the soil will cause corrosion of the COLORBOND® steel.

Do LYSAGHT® fences meet the relevant Australian standards?

Yes. We have fully tested and evaluated our fence systems both in our NATA registered laboratory and using the latest computer modelling software. We can certify that they meet all relevant Australian Standards, including AS1538-1988 (Cold Formed Structures) & AS1170.2 (Wind Loading Code).

Can I use COLORBOND® steel fencing around my pool?

You should check with your local council for regulations on fences around pool areas. Particular care needs to be taken if COLORBOND® steel is to be installed within the 'splash zone'. Both salt and chlorine may have a corrosive effect on the COLORBOND® steel finish and as such, may negate a warranty claim.

Will the LYSAGHT SMARTASCREEN® panels fit in the LYSAGHT NEETASCREEN® posts and rails?

Yes, the LYSAGHT SMARTASCREEN® fencing system has been designed to fit into the existing post and rail system.

What components do I need to make up one LYSAGHT SMARTASCREEN® fence panel?

You will need 2 SMARTASCREEN® fence posts, 1 SMARTASCREEN® bottom rail, 1 SMARTASCREEN® top rail, 3 fencing infill sheets, 14 self-drilling screws and your choice of post caps.

How do I maintain my fence made from COLORBOND® steel to ensure long life?

Your fence is very easy to maintain. Here's a few tips to make sure it keeps looking great.

  • Wipe or hose it down regularly – at least once every six months or more if you live in a coastal area (water restrictions permitting). Pay particular attention to cleaning dirt or debris from under the top rail where rain doesn’t naturally wash.
  • Remove cobwebs using a soft broom. This will deal with any spiders.
  • Don’t let soil, dirt and garden debris build up at the base of the fence or next to the posts and rails. This will retain water and can lead to corrosion.
  • Be careful not to spray the fence with garden chemical sprays or fertilisers as these can damage the surface. If this happens, wash the fence down with water immediately.
  • Don’t use your fence as a retaining wall. It isn’t designed for this purpose.
