“Safehaus installed security/possum fence deterrents at our property. Good communication, neat work, and the place feels more secure.”
“We bought a security flyscreen for our laundry window and an anti-theft pack on the car — great to finally have them sorted and feel a bit safer.”
“Reasonable price. We had security cameras installed by a technician, also a new security door was fitted promptly and neatly. Will use this service again.”
Where it gets fitted
The fence someone climbs is almost never the front one. It’s the boundary nobody watches.
Rear fence onto a laneway
Nobody’s watching the laneway side. A 1.8m paling fence is a step, and the courtyard behind it has a sliding door.
Fences backing onto reserves, rail or car parks
Public land on one side means anyone can stand there. A topper makes the fence the end of the walk, not the start of one.
Side gates
The gap above a side gate is the easiest way into most Melbourne backyards. Toppers close it without changing the gate.
Carport and garage roof edges
A low carport roof is a leg-up onto the fence line or a rear window. Toppers along the edge take the step away.
Wherever the bins sit
A wheelie bin against a fence is a ladder. Where the bins live is where the fence needs the topper.
The hardware
Precision laser-cut galvanised Australian steel, screw-fixed rather than glued, in two mounting profiles that suit almost any fence.

What the price covers
One number, agreed before we start. Nothing added at the end.
The steel, and the right fixings
Galvanised or colour-matched toppers, plus fasteners matched to timber, steel or masonry. Cut ends treated so they don’t rust back on you.
The install
Fitted from your side of the fence in one visit, by the owner. You don’t need to be home and we don’t need the neighbour’s side.
Warning signage
Supplied and fitted at every installation, at no extra cost. It’s part of doing this properly, not an upsell.
Photos and an invoice
Before-and-after shots from the approach side, sent with the invoice. Useful if your insurer ever asks what you changed.
How it runs
Most jobs are quoted within a day and fitted within two weeks. A rear fence is usually one morning.
Photos, or book a site walk
Under 10 metres, two photos gets a price the same day. Anything bigger, book a free 30-minute site walk and we measure it with you.
Fixed quote in writing
Itemised per fence line and valid 60 days. The number you see on the calculator is the number we work from.
Fitted in one visit
Ladder-height work from your side of the fence. You don’t need to be home, and we don’t need the neighbour’s side.
Photos when it’s done
Before-and-after from the laneway side, showing position and signage, sent with the invoice.

Questions we get on the phone
We’ve just had a break-in. Can you come out quickly?
Yes. Tell us that when you call and we’ll aim to be there the next day. Most rear fences are a single morning’s work, so it can usually be closed off before the weekend.
Can I put spikes on my own back fence in Victoria?
Yes, with conditions. Refer to your local council’s guidelines for more information.
Do I need to ask the neighbour?
On a shared dividing fence, it’s courteous and usually wise, and on some fences the Fences Act gives them a say. We fit from your side and never on a surface the neighbour touches or leans on. If the fence backs onto public land — a laneway, reserve or car park — there’s no neighbour to ask, which is exactly the fence that needs it.
Can the spikes be bent over or cut off easily?
No. They’re galvanised steel, precision laser-cut, and rated heavy-duty and tamper-resistant. That’s the difference between a deterrent and a decoration — thin pressed steel folds under a gloved hand, and this doesn’t.
Do you need to see the site first?
Usually not. Two photos and a rough length get you a same-day price for most fence lines. Over 10 metres, or where there are gates, corners and mixed fence types, we walk it with you first — no charge. The quote is fixed either way.
What’s the smallest job you’ll do?
One 1.2m section at $149 — the gap above a side gate, say. The first section carries the visit; every section after it is $75, which is why most people do the whole run while we’re there. A typical laneway fence of 12 metres comes to $844, including the $20 material collection on runs over 10 metres.
What’s the difference between galvanised and colour-matched?
Same steel, same fixing. Raw galvanised is the industrial silver finish, suited to laneway and rear fences. Colour-matched is Dulux powder-coated in a satin finish to the standard Colorbond range, so it disappears into a street-facing fence. It adds $20 per 1.2m section.
Will it stop someone determined?
No product will, and we won’t tell you otherwise. It removes the easy route over a fence, which is the one most opportunistic entries use, and it’s what an insurer usually wants to see. If you have a targeted problem, that’s a police conversation and we’ll say so.
