The 2350 × 200 × 60 mm plinth weighs 65 kg. Use suitable help or equipment for handling and installation. Because we manufacture rather than resell, we ensure a straight and consistent profile.</p><h2 id="colorbond-fence-plinths-and-boundary-fencing-applications">Colorbond Fence Plinths and Boundary Fencing Applications</h2><p>Colorbond fence plinths are our most common request. A plinth lifts the bottom rail clear of the ground, so the fence sheet isn&#8217;t sitting in damp soil where it would corrode or stain.</p><p>The same plinth suits boundary fencing and Good Neighbour fencing, where a clean, low gap looks deliberate rather than unfinished. Landscapers also use them to step a fence line across small changes in ground level, so panels stay level while the ground falls away.</p><h2 id="heavy-duty-fence-plinths-specs-stacking-and-site-fit">Heavy Duty Fence Plinths: Specs, Stacking and Site Fit</h2><p>Heavy duty fence plinths from Retain The Earth are cast at 60 MPa, providing them with high strength. The 2350 mm length and 200 mm width are standard dimensions, and the 60 mm depth provides a low profile.</p><table style="width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:2rem 0;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px"><col style="min-width: 25px"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color:#f8f9fa;color:#111827;padding:12px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;border-bottom:2px solid #e5e7eb"><p><strong>Attribute</strong></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color:#f8f9fa;color:#111827;padding:12px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;border-bottom:2px solid #e5e7eb"><p><strong>Specification</strong></p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Length</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>2350 mm</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Height</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>200 mm</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Depth</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>60 mm</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Rebate</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Centred 50 mm at both ends</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Concrete strength</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>60 MPa</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Finish</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Clean precast</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Colours</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Standard grey, charcoal</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Maximum stacked height</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Up to 400 mm</p></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="margin: 1.5rem 0px;padding: 16px 20px;border-radius: 0px 8px 8px 0px"><strong style="margin-bottom: 4px;font-size: 14px">Watch Out</strong><span style="font-size: 15px;line-height: 1.6">“Installation method and suitability should be confirmed for the fencing system, site conditions and project requirements.”</span></div><img decoding="async" class="rounded-lg max-w-full h-auto my-4 cursor-pointer" src="https://cdn.grandranker.com/articles/under-fence-plinth-adelaide-concrete-fence-plinths-guide-1789909718.jpg" style="width:100%;max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px;margin:0 auto"><h2 id="why-use-a-concrete-plinth-under-a-fence">“Why Use a Concrete Plinth Under a Fence?”</h2><p>A concrete plinth provides support along the base, retains soil behind the line and helps close the sub-fence gap. Retain The Earth casts every plinth to the same profile, ensuring a consistent finish.</p><div style="margin: 1.5rem 0px;padding: 16px 20px;border-radius: 0px 8px 8px 0px"><strong style="margin-bottom: 4px;font-size: 14px">Key Takeaway</strong><span style="font-size: 15px;line-height: 1.6">A plinth does three jobs at once: it lifts the fence clear of the ground, it closes the gap underneath, and it gives the base a defined edge. That combination is what makes the fence line look finished.</span></div><h2 id="site-preparation-getting-the-base-right-before-you-lay-plinths">Site Preparation: Getting the Base Right Before You Lay Plinths</h2><p>Proper site preparation is crucial. The ground under the plinth needs to be level, compacted and free of soft spots for optimal installation.</p><p class="cta-inline" style="background-color: #2563eb08;border-left: 4px solid #2563eb;padding: 16px 20px;margin: 24px 0;border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0">

Matching the Job to the Crew</h2><p>For longer runs, commercial sites or anything involving a boundary, a fencing contractor or landscaper will usually get a better result faster, with the compaction gear and experience to keep the line straight.</p><div style="margin: 1.5rem 0px;padding: 16px 20px;border-radius: 0px 8px 8px 0px"><strong style="margin-bottom: 4px;font-size: 14px">Pro Tip</strong><span style="font-size: 15px;line-height: 1.6">Order the full run at once rather than topping up mid-job. Plinths from a single batch share the same finish and colour, which matters most on charcoal where a mismatched batch is easy to spot in daylight.</span></div><h2 id="long-term-durability-and-environmental-benefits">Long-Term Durability and Environmental Benefits</h2><p>Precast concrete holds up well in the local climate. It doesn&#8217;t rot, rust, or need painting or sealing, and the 60 MPa mix provides density for durability over a long service life.</p><h2 id="choosing-the-right-plinth-for-your-project">Choosing the Right Plinth for Your Project</h2><p>Standard grey suits most Colorbond and boundary fencing, reading as a neutral base line. Charcoal is the pick when you want the plinth to merge with a dark fence sheet or charcoal Colorbond panel for a cleaner, more continuous look from the street.</p><table style="width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:2rem 0;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px"><col style="min-width: 25px"><col style="min-width: 25px"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color:#f8f9fa;color:#111827;padding:12px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;border-bottom:2px solid #e5e7eb"><p><strong>Project type</strong></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color:#f8f9fa;color:#111827;padding:12px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;border-bottom:2px solid #e5e7eb"><p><strong>Recommended colour</strong></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="background-color:#f8f9fa;color:#111827;padding:12px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;border-bottom:2px solid #e5e7eb"><p><strong>Why</strong></p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Colorbond fencing, light colours</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Standard grey</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Neutral base, blends with pale sheets</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Colorbond fencing, dark colours</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Charcoal</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Merges with the fence line</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Boundary and Good Neighbour fencing</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Standard grey or charcoal</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Tidy, deliberate base line</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Landscape projects and edging</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Standard grey</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:12px 16px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><p>Reads as a clean garden edge</p></td></tr></tbody></table><h2 id="ordering-delivery-and-trade-enquiries">Ordering, Delivery and Trade Enquiries</h2><p>Retain The Earth is a South Australian manufacturer, not a reseller, so your plinths come straight from the yard at Edinburgh North.

They help close the gap beneath panels, keep the fence line straight and clean, and reduce soil erosion and weed growth along the boundary. Because they are precast at 60 MPa, they resist moisture and ground movement far better than soil alone, and they can assist with small changes in ground level across a run.</p></div></div><div style="padding:20px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><h3 style="font-size:1.1rem;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 8px 0">Can concrete fence plinths be used with Colorbond fencing?</h3><div style="line-height:1.7;font-size:0.95rem"><p style="margin:0">Yes. Colorbond fence plinths suit steel panel and post systems, including boundary fencing and Good Neighbour fencing. They sit beneath the fence to create a consistent base and a tidier finish along the run. Check the plinth against your specific fencing system and project requirements before ordering, and contact Retain The Earth for guidance on quantities and delivery.</p></div></div><div style="padding:20px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb"><h3 style="font-size:1.1rem;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 8px 0">Are heavy duty fence plinths suitable for uneven ground?</h3><div style="line-height:1.7;font-size:0.95rem"><p style="margin:0">They can assist with small changes in ground level, which is one reason plinths are popular on sloped blocks. Stacked arrangements up to 400 mm high are possible, subject to the fencing system and project requirements. For larger level changes, prepare and level the site first so the plinths sit on a stable base. Retain The Earth can talk through your site before you order.</p></div></div></section><div class="cta-button-container" style="text-align: center;margin: 32px 0">
