LYSAGHT NEETASCREEN® PLUS Fencing

Yes. We proudly offer a written ten year warranty on our fences, providing they are installed and maintained in accordance with our specifications.

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.

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.

We can confidently say that our fences may be used all over Australia, except for the tropical cyclone regions (defined in AS1170.2 - 1989 SAA Loading Code, Part 2: Wind Loads). Installation methods will vary slightly, depending on your wind region, terrain category and soil type.

Yes. An easy to install post conversion kit is available. With this simple post extension you can provide an exciting new look for your existing LYSAGHT NEETASCREEN® fence.

You will need 2 LYSAGHT NEETASCREEN® posts, 3 LYSAGHT NEETASCREEN® universal rails, 3 LYSAGHT NEETASCREEN® infill sheets, 1 lattice panel, 2 post infill strips, 26 self drilling fasteners and your choice of fence caps.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.
