Modular Wall Systems from Wallmark Australia

Until a few years ago, DIY fencing used to mean roping in all available friends and family to help dig trenches and manhandle heavy poles or concrete blocks � and that was before you even started to construct the fence! Now, building a DIY fence is a project that can be completed over a weekend by one or two people.

The secret is modular design. Wallmark's range of modular fencing components - posts, wall panels and capping - fit together to produce a strong, integrated structure that delivers security, privacy, visual appeal and sound protection.

The post and panel design has been created and engineered for fuss-free installation. Components are light and easily handled, and assembling a fence is a simple task that does not require special tools or advanced building skills. Site disruption is minimal; there's no need to dig a trench before assembling a Wallmark fence, because posts are simply anchored into pre-drilled holes in the ground.

After assembly of the poles and panels and fitting of caps, a weather-resistant coating is applied to the fence to create a unified look. Coatings are available in attractive tones that suit the Australian landscape, with various surface effects including a smooth, satin finish and a stippled texture. The final result: a sturdy, stylish enclosure with the appearance of a masonry wall. While many homeowners prefer a solid wall, for those who look for alternative fence ideas there's a range of slats and panel inserts.

Each modular panel is made from a75mm thick polystyrene core surrounded by fibre cement sheeting. The light but strong fence panels also have excellent acoustic qualities and have been designed to provide maximum noise reduction � measured in certified test labs at up to 28 decibels. For properties near busy transport corridors or in urban areas, the sound-deadening properties of Wallmark modular fence panel walls help to cut sound intrusion, creating a calm, quiet backyard environment.

Wallmark's modular wall systems are not just for "easy" sites, either. Metal components of the modular systems are made from aluminium or galvanised steel that resists corrosion in humid climates, and the fences are strong enough to retain soil on sloping terrain. The standard posts are suitable for most conditions and there is a range of larger posts offering increased height options and construction flexibility. Using the heavier posts, wall height, post spacing and footing sizes can be tailored to suit different Australian wind regions including areas at risk of cyclone-force winds. With confidence in the materials design and workmanship of Wallmark products, the company offers a 10 year warranty.

The cute country cottage with roses climbing around the porch and surrounded by a white picket fence suited grandma and grandpa just fine, but these days many people look for more in a fence. It's not just a matter of changing tastes; needs are different now.

Wallmark's modular fencing provides the high level of security, privacy and noise protection that people expect, and they can build it themselves!
