The traditional brick fence is still the fence of choice by millions of Australians. The bricks they are built with are now available in a variety of colours, textures and shapes suited to accommodating everyone’s tastes and needs.

Clay brick fences may be prone to weathering and erosion, which results directly from the porous clay’s susceptibility to absorb water. To avoid this many choose to build their brick fence with concrete bricks.

Benefits of brick fences include:

• They ensure household security and protection against intruders;
• They provide boundary around property;
• They block noise and act as a natural sound barrier;
• They ensure privacy and block outsiders from looking in;
• They create enclosures for household pets;
• They give extreme durability, with an ability to last for decades;
• They require no cleaning or repainting;
• They carry low maintenance costs, as brick doesn’t rot, corrode, dent, split or mind the weather generally;
• Home insurance is often lower when home’s have brick fences as they offer greater fire protection;
• Greater energy efficiency, as a dense, heavy brick fence conducts heat slowly, reducing cooling needs in the summer, heating needs in the winter and your overall energy bill.
