    Howdy,
    Our unit block needs a new fence. The metal posts in the ground are fine but the wood pailings are cactus.

    I'm thinking about ripping off the wood and putting in high metal fencing. I'm in the city and security is important.

    Anyone been in a similar position? Which metal fence did you choose and why? At this stage I'm thinking Stratco but maybe there are better options?

    Help?!

    Are the rails in ok condition or just the posts? Depending on post height you may need to re-do them anyway to enable a taller fence to go in

    I've used colorbond fencing for the sides at the front the council likes permeable fencing so that people can see both ways but it's slightly obscured. So we've done brick walls with infill slats with gaps.
