ROSENTHAL TIMBER PALING FENCE GUIDELINES

The Rosenthal Timber Paling Fence Guidelines have been produced to provide residents within the Estate a clear understanding of the matters to consider when engaging a fencing contractor to construct a timber paling fence on the rear and side boundaries of their property.

The Guidelines ensure that fencing is consistent throughout the estate and complies with the restrictions within the Plan of Sub-division and Rosenthal Design Guidelines.

• All side and rear boundary fences are to be a timber paling fence (1.8m high) which has firstly, a timber cap and secondly, the timber post exposed on both sides of the fence. (Refer Figure 1).

• No side boundary fencing is permitted between the front boundary and front façade of any dwelling. This restriction on the Plan of Subdivision has been created so that the estate is not dominated by paling fences.

• In instances where a steel fence mounting bracket has been provided within the front set back of your property, you will need to arrange for your fencing contractor to remove this.

• For corner lots, side boundary fencing must commence from a point that is no less than 10m back from the front boundary. Note that this only applies to the side boundary that is adjacent to the road.

• Front fencing of any kind is not permitted.

• Ensure bolts used to fasten posts are the same width as the hole provided in the steel mounting bracket plate. This will ensure a strong attachment to the retaining wall. Using thinner bolts will result in movement over time.

FENCE GUIDELINES

• Do not drill new holes into the mounting brackets. Please use those that have been provided.

• Ensure bolts are regularly checked to ensure they remain tight given the upright hardwood posts shrink during the curing process. Bolts should be checked for correct and strong tension regularly, especially during the 12 months after installation.

• In some instances retaining walls are provided at different finished surface levels. Accordingly any fence constructed on these walls will be staggered in height (as shown in Figure 1).

• Where a slope between lots exist, please liaise with your neighbour to agree on how the level difference will be treated. Please ensure this is undertaken prior to commencing construction on your fence.

• Depending on your circumstances, you may require a retaining wall, additional earthworks etc, all of which should be agreed to and in place prior to construction of your fence.

• Ensure your fencing installer is aware of these points prior to installation.
