Fencing in Currumbin: Colorbond, Aluminium and Pool Fencing from the Beach to the Valley
Two very different fencing jobs in one postcode — salt-blasted beachside blocks and Currumbin Valley acreage.
Currumbin is really two suburbs wearing one name. Down near the beach and the creek you have tight blocks, holiday homes and salt coming off the surf every day of the year. Head up Currumbin Creek Road into the Valley and you are on acreage with slopes, dams, horses and boundaries measured in hundreds of metres. The right fence at Currumbin Alley is the wrong fence in the Valley, and we quote them differently.

What we build in Currumbin
- Colorbond boundary fencing — full-height privacy between neighbours, the standard on the beachside blocks where houses sit close together
- Aluminium and tubular fencing — front boundaries and creek frontages where you want the line to stay see-through and never rust
- Pool fencing — aluminium and tubular barriers built to the Queensland pool rules, common on the holiday and rental homes near the beach
- Timber and slat screening — batten screens for courtyards, decks and outdoor showers on the beach blocks
- Rural and acreage fencing — longer boundary runs, farm-style gates and driveway entries for Valley properties
- Gates and automation — swing and sliding gates with Centsys motors, keypads and intercoms for Valley driveways off the road
Beachside Currumbin: salt decides the material
Within a few streets of the surf, salt is the whole conversation. Untreated steel and cheap fixings rust out fast, and a fence that looked fine at handover shows rust bleed within a couple of summers. On the beach blocks we use marine-grade fixings, seal the cut edges on site and avoid putting dissimilar metals in contact at the fixing points. For properties right up against breaking surf, BlueScope recommend Colorbond Stainless and we quote that on request rather than pretending standard sheeting will do the same job.
Blocks near the beach are also small and close together, so we spend more time on set-out than we would inland. A fence that is 40mm out over a short run is obvious.
Currumbin Valley: acreage, slope and long runs
Up the Valley the job changes completely. Boundaries are long, the ground falls away, and you are usually fencing to keep something in or mark a line rather than to block a neighbour’s view. That means post spacing and strainer placement matter more than colour matching, and the fence has to follow the fall of the land properly instead of leaving gaps under it.
Valley driveways are often set well back from the road, so a gate with automation is a common request up here. Power to the gate is the thing that decides the price on a long driveway, and we cover exactly what drives that on our gate automation guide.

Currumbin fencing FAQs
What fencing lasts near the surf at Currumbin?
Colorbond with marine-grade fixings and sealed cut edges, or aluminium, which does not rust at all. For a property right on the breaking surf we quote Colorbond Stainless, because standard sheeting will not give you the same life that close to the water.
Do you fence acreage in Currumbin Valley?
Yes. Long boundary runs, sloping ground, farm-style gates and driveway entries are all normal work for us up the Valley.
Can you automate a gate on a long Valley driveway?
Yes. The main thing that moves the price is how far power has to run to the gate, so we work that out on the site assessment before quoting.
Do you build pool fencing in Currumbin?
Yes. We build aluminium and tubular pool barriers to the Queensland rules, with the gaps, height and non-climbable zone set so the barrier passes inspection.
How much does a fence cost in Currumbin?
It depends on the material, the length and whether the ground needs stepping or retaining. Colorbond runs around $95 to $140 a metre installed and aluminium a bit more. You get a fixed written quote after a free measure.
