Colour Clad is specifically designed to work with most standard metal fences found across Australia, including the common Colorbond® steel fencing. Our patented slide-and-lock framing system attaches securely to the vertical posts and horizontal rails of these fences without any need for drilling or permanent fixtures. We are currently developing solutions for other fence types, such as timber and fibre cement fences. Sign up for our mailing list to be the first to know when new options become available!
We are launching with a curated range of modern, architectural colours and panel profiles designed to complement contemporary Australian homes. Our initial colour palette will include popular shades like Sea Spray (white), Iron (Charcoal), Blush (Pastel Pink), Sage (Muted green) and Oak (Wood Look), with more to come. We will offer several panel profiles, from a sleek flat finish to a modern batten look, allowing you to truly customise your space. All final options will be revealed at launch—subscribers will get the first look!
Our panels are built to withstand the harsh Australian climate. They are made from high-quality, lightweight aluminium and finished with a durable, UV-resistant powder coating. This ensures they will not warp, crack, or rot, and they are completely resistant to rust and corrosion. With proper care, your Colour Clad panels will keep your fence looking spectacular for many years to come.
We stand behind the quality of our product. All Colour Clad panels and framing components will come with a comprehensive multi-year warranty that covers manufacturing defects and material integrity, including guarantees against fading and corrosion. Full warranty details will be provided at launch.
Absolutely! This is one of the key features of the Colour Clad system. Because our product is non-permanent and requires no drilling or adhesives, you can easily unlock and slide the panels off whenever you need to. This is perfect for renters who want to take their investment with them when they move, or for homeowners who want the flexibility to change their style in the future.
Yes, the panels are completely waterproof and weatherproof. The aluminium construction and powder-coated finish mean they are impervious to rain, moisture, and humidity, making them a perfect long-term solution for outdoor environments.
Transforming your fence is a matter of minutes, not days. For a standard 10-metre section of fence, most people would be able to complete the installation in half a day to a day. Our system is designed for speed and simplicity—think of it like IKEA for your fence. You simply attach the framing, slide the panels into place, and lock them in. It's that easy.
No special tools are required! The entire Colour Clad system is designed to be installed by hand. The components slide and lock together securely without the need for drills, or any specialist equipment. All you need is a pair of hands, an Allen key (which is provided to you) and a bit of D.I.Y enthusiasm.
Yes, 100%. Colour Clad was designed with renters in mind. Our system is completely non-invasive and non-permanent. It attaches to the existing fence structure without leaving a single mark, hole, or drop of adhesive. You can transform your rental property's backyard and then easily remove it and take it with you, leaving the fence in its original condition. It's the perfect way to upgrade your space without risking your bond.
The panels are engineered to be extremely lightweight and easy to handle, without compromising on durability. Each panel is light enough for one person to comfortably lift and install on their own. This ensures a safe and straightforward DIY experience for everyone. Our system has been engineered to match the wind loading and engineering of standard metal fences.
Minimal preparation is needed. All you need to do is attach the clamps to the existing fence posts, attach the posts and rails, and slide in the cladding panels.
Our initial launch product is designed for straight, standard metal fences. However, we are already developing solutions for angled or sloping sections and custom corner pieces. If you have a fence with unique angles, please contact our team with photos, and we can advise on potential solutions.
While final pricing will be confirmed at launch, we are committed to making Colour Clad an affordable design solution for everyday Aussies. As a pre-launch subscriber, you will receive an exclusive discount on the final price. Sign up to our mailing list to ensure you get the best possible value.
We will be offering competitive shipping rates across Australia. Special shipping promotions, including potential free shipping offers, will be announced to our mailing list subscribers closer to the launch date.
We will accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) as well as popular payment platforms like PayPal and Afterpay. You will be able to choose your preferred payment method at checkout.
Yes. We are confident you will love the transformation, but we will offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with the product, you will be able to return it within a specified period for a refund. Full details of our return policy will be available at launch.
Yes, we plan to partner with services like Afterpay to allow you to transform your fence now and pay for it in convenient, interest-free instalments.
We are in the final pre-launch phase and are expecting to launch very soon! By joining our mailing list, you will be the first to receive the official launch date announcement and gain exclusive access to our early-bird pricing.
Because the Colour Clad system is completely non-permanent and causes no damage, it generally does not require landlord approval, much like adding freestanding pot plants or outdoor furniture. It is considered a temporary, decorative addition. However, we always recommend reviewing your tenancy agreement to be sure.
Absolutely! This is one of the biggest benefits for renters. The easy slide-off, slide-on design means you can pack up your Colour Clad system and take it to your next rental property. It's an investment in your lifestyle that moves with you.
No, it will not. The framing system is designed to attach securely to your fence without scratching the paint or leaving any residue. When you remove it, the fence will be in the exact same condition as it was before, ensuring you have no issues with your property manager or landlord.
In most cases, no. As Colour Clad is a non-permanent, cosmetic improvement that does not alter the structure of the property, permission is typically not required. It falls into the same category as other removable decorations. If you have any concerns, you can always have a friendly chat with your property manager and explain that it's a damage-free, temporary system.
