This Byron Bay project consisted of a high-end finish, pool safe, with Australian grown Stringy Bark and locally powder-coated aluminium posts.
Challenges for this project included:
- Tight site access and working on top of other tradies. 10 villas all had a pool that could not be filled till the fencing was complete.
- All fencing interweaves could not be finished one section at a time and needed to be complete for the pools to be filled. That meant having to construct all at once but maintaining access for other trades.
- Working to finish levels that were hypothetical and varied significantly between villas.
- The design itself of the fencing was complex with carpentry finishes down to the type of screw used (as they were fixing to powder-coated aluminium posts) to reduce electrolysis between the screw and post in a highly corrosive coastal environment.
- The type of select timber species.
- The gap between slats to maintain pool compliance, all had to be 8mm, no more and no less.
- Having to work from the top down as all of the tops of the fencing they wanted level and in line but all the different sections had different finish levels. Approx 10 different units/sections
