How it works
An independent comparison and referral service
FenceQuote Australia helps you understand likely fencing costs before you talk to anyone. The calculator and guides are free and need no personal details.
Quote requests are opening soon. They will only open for an area once a participating contractor covers it, and then only with your consent may an enquiry be shared. We do not claim to represent every contractor, and we never guarantee a contractor will call.

Frequently asked questions
Is FenceQuote Australia a fencing contractor?
No. We are an independent comparison and referral service. We do not build fences or set contractor prices. Where participating contractors are available in your area and you consent, your enquiry may be passed to them.
How much does a fence cost in Australia?
It depends on the material, height, length, ground conditions and where you live. Our calculator shows an indicative range based on illustrative placeholder figures, which should be validated against real quotes. The only way to get a firm price is a quote from a contractor who has seen your site.
Will a contractor definitely contact me?
We cannot promise that. We are not yet accepting quote requests because contractor matching is not yet available in your area. When it opens for an area, an enquiry will only be shared with your consent, and submitting one will not guarantee a response.
Does it cost anything to use FenceQuote?
Using the calculator is free for you, with no account, no payment and no personal details. Quote requests will also be free once they open. We may be paid by contractors or referral partners in future; any such arrangement will be disclosed.
Which parts of Australia do you cover?
The calculator and guides cover every state and territory: NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT. Contractor matching is not yet available in any area, so quote requests are not open yet.
What happens to my personal information?
We collect only what is needed for your enquiry, store it with our hosting and database providers, and share it only as described in our privacy policy and only if you give consent. You can ask to access, correct or delete it.
Quote requests are opening soon
