What matters for landscaping & gardening in Rockingham

  • On WA's beaches the distance from breaking surf decides the correct steel. BlueScope allows standard ZINCALUME or metallic COLORBOND for roofing only beyond 200 m from breaking surf, and COLORBOND Ultra from 100 m. For walling the thresholds are far stricter at 1,000 m, 800 m and 500 m. Scarborough, Trigg, City Beach, Cottesloe and Hillarys routinely fall inside those bands, so a quote written for standard Colorbond can be wrong for the address.
