Concrete Under Fence Plinths Canberra

Concrete under fence plinths give Canberra fences a 50mm concrete barrier that retains soil and keeps timber palings off the ground. Our ACT plinth range matches the colours of our Canberra concrete sleeper lines, so the base of your fence blends with any wall on the boundary.

RWS supplies the ACT through our NSW and VIC network, with bulk buying and a best-price guarantee keeping costs down. Ask us for a quote today.

Why Canberra fence lines need a plinth

A fence plinth is a 50mm concrete panel installed under the bottom rail of a fence. Its job is simple: it retains the soil difference between two properties and it stops timber palings sitting in contact with wet ground. Timber that touches soil rots from the base up, and Canberra blocks with even a small cross-fall often have 50mm to 150mm of soil pushing against the fence line. A plinth takes that load instead of the fence, and it never rots, warps or needs oiling.

Matching plinths to ACT sleeper walls

Our plinth ranges are made to match the local sleeper colours, so a plinth under the fence can sit alongside a sleeper retaining wall in the same finish. Canberra buyers who want the strongest structural product on the boundary can pair plinths with our 60MPa ACT sleeper range, the maximum-strength line our Canberra hub specialises in. Where the plinth run turns into a genuine retaining wall, posts from our ACT steel post range carry the sleepers, and RWS recommends engaging an engineer for anything structural. Our engineering page explains what certification covers; RWS itself does not provide engineering services.

Ordering and delivery in the ACT

Canberra and the surrounding ACT are serviced through the RWS NSW and VIC distribution network.

Trade customers can register on the trade portal for 72-hour delivery on paid trade orders. Pricing is covered by our best-price guarantee: our reseller model and bulk buying keep unit costs low.

Do concrete plinths suit Colorbond fences as well as timber?

Yes. A plinth retains soil under any fence type. Timber fences gain the extra benefit of ground-contact protection, while Colorbond fences gain a neat, solid base that stops soil washing under the bottom rail.

Can I install under fence plinths on an existing Canberra fence?

Often yes. Plinths are commonly retrofitted where soil has built up against an existing fence, provided the posts allow the 50mm panel to be fitted beneath or against the bottom rail. Send us your fence details through our contact page and we will confirm the right product.
