About the Northern Beaches

From Manly and Fairlight in the south through Dee Why, Mona Vale, Avalon and up to Palm Beach, the Northern Beaches are a long ribbon of coastal and cliffside suburbs with weatherboard beach cottages, mid-century brick homes, and contemporary architect builds. Constant salt air, high UV, and blocks that step down toward the water are constant factors.

Brick fences

Brick fences in the Northern Beaches.

Brick fences here have to handle the salt air. Aluminium-slat infills with brick piers are popular for the coastal-modern look. Many beachside lots step down toward the water, so retaining elements often pair with the boundary fence.

Retaining walls

Retaining walls in the Northern Beaches.

Retaining walls here are structural and frequent. Salt-laden air pushes us toward durable concrete block with corrosion-resistant fixings and tanked drainage. Combined retaining-and-fence builds (block wall with brick fence on top) are standard. Tall walls require engineering certification, especially close to boundaries where council DA is involved.

See more on our retaining walls page.
