Central Coast Coastal Salt Air and Semi-Rural Fencing

The Central Coast's ocean and lake-facing areas (Terrigal, Avoca Beach, The Entrance, Budgewoi) have salt air exposure that accelerates corrosion on steel fencing, annual freshwater rinsing of Colorbond fences in these locations extends coating life significantly. The Central Coast's significant rural and semi-rural fringe areas (Kulnura, Mangrove Mountain, Somersby) have high demand for post-and-rail timber and post-and-wire stock fencing for hobby farms and rural lifestyle properties. Timber fencing on the Central Coast must use treated pine (H3 or above) or hardwood given the region's termite pressure. fairtrading.nsw.gov.au
