Frequently asked questions
How often should a deck be oiled?
Exposed decks in Sydney usually need re-oiling every 12–24 months; painted or stained timber lasts longer.
Can a Colorbond fence be repainted?
Yes, with the right cleaning and a primer/topcoat system suited to pre-finished steel.
Do I need my neighbour's agreement?
For a shared dividing fence it's sensible to agree on colour and access first.
