Here’s to 2024 – a year filled with outdoor transformation highlights!

Additionally, we’d like to introduce you to a handful of the thousands of happy homeowners who have brought their outdoor dreams to life this year with the help of our multifunctional solutions that elevate aesthetics and create security. Keep reading to see the many different ways ModularWalls has instantly improved outdoor spaces.
This year, ModularWalls:
Featured on The Block once again
With its quick installation, unmatched durability, and versatile customisation options, it’s clear why ModularWalls has been the go-to choice for Backyard Week on The Block since 2020.
In this season set in idyllic Philip Island, we saw over 196 metres of boundary fencing effortlessly transform 2,269 square metres of backyards in record time.
Our proprietary solutions help transform spaces in an instant:
- Install ModularWalls without heavy machinery: two able-bodied adults can install our lightweight solutions!
- Maximise your site’s usable space: achieve a premium rendered look (similar to a masonry wall) without wasting valuable space on wide strip footings.
- Avoid disturbing underground services* during installation: since no strip footings are required, most ModularWalls fences and walls don’t require particularly deep post holes. Typically, the post hole depth must be 1/3 of the overall wall height (so for a 1.8m fence, you’d need 600mm deep post holes – well clear of any concealed services). However, be sure to confirm with BYDA before getting started.

Created instant DIY street appeal for this coastal home
Homeowner Blake recently embarked on a striking DIY project, transforming his front yard into a stylish, private retreat and adding instant street appeal.
Previously, his front yard was open and offered little privacy or security. Installing the EstateWall® front wall established a secure front boundary, providing Blake’s lush tropical garden shelter and providing an aesthetic focal point in the front yard. Having a small backyard, the family now has an additional outdoor area to enjoy out of view of passers-by.
“EstateWall® definitely achieves the privacy and security we were looking for.”
Blake thoroughly enjoyed the DIY installation process and found it straightforward and user-friendly.
“I’d definitely recommend choosing ModularWalls. It’s quite a simple process, looks great, and has lots of different styles. I’m sure you’ll be really happy with it.”

Provided pool area privacy for this Hamptons home
Previously hindered by exposure to their neighbours, Brendan and Nicole transformed their pool area into a serene retreat with the help of ModularWalls.
Their old metal fence provided little privacy, leaving them feeling vulnerable around the elevated deck of the adjoining property.
“Our neighbour has an above-ground pool with a deck area… we lacked privacy.”
With ModularWalls, they achieved the visual and acoustic seclusion they desired, creating a perfect environment for family gatherings and relaxation.
“We actually worked together with [our neighbours] to get that ModularWalls solution. Even though they’re really close, we can’t hear much of anything on their end. They’re really happy with the end result, and so are we.”

Delivered seamless retaining and superior privacy for Darren Palmer’s Bondi oasis
Darren Palmer, renowned for his “laid-back luxury” design style, chose ModularWalls to feature in his Bondi renovation project. Requiring a fencing solution that combined easy installation, sleek aesthetics and noise reduction, Darren knew ModularWalls was the right choice, having seen firsthand the multifunctional solutions on The Block.
With a steeply sloping site and neighbours close by, he required a solution that combined retaining capabilities that highlights his minimalist aesthetic.
“I needed specifically to have a retaining system, I needed privacy and acoustic privacy, and really needed a cost-effective solution that looked good. And ModularWalls provided everything – and delivered far more than I could have expected.”
The seamless integration of TrendWall® and TerraFirm® retaining panels not only enhanced Darren’s outdoor space but also created a peaceful retreat from the Bondi buzz.
“ModularWalls creates acoustic and visual privacy and it just gives me this sense of being in my own private little bubble away from the world. The hustle and bustle Bondi is right there, and I feel like I’m in my own private oasis.”

Unlocked an additional safe, secure space for kids to play
Before her renovation, Alexandra’s front fence was a flimsy metal rail, resembling a balcony balustrade, and it lacked both style and security. The odd shape of her block made it challenging to find a sleek fencing solution without harsh angles. With limited backyard space, she aimed to maximise her property’s usable space while prioritising aesthetics and functionality. ModularWalls’ VogueWall® was ideal, offering privacy and security for her family and two young children.
“The fence just gives that extra sense of safety and security… I’m quite happy to let [my kids] go crazy on the lawn.”
Thrilled with the transformation and the compliments from neighbours, Alexandra eagerly recommends ModularWalls to friends and family, stating,
“The whole experience was great—it couldn’t have turned out any better.”

Inspired a whole-home transformation from a simple garden bed project
Sawsan began her journey with a simple idea to add a water feature to her backyard but quickly recognised the opportunity to totally transform her outdoor space. Creating small garden beds using integrated TerraFirm® panels not only beautified the space but also inspired more landscaping ideas.
“It started as a small project, but after visiting the ModularWalls showroom, we were mesmerised and decided to do the whole house.”
Faced with high quotes for traditional fencing, she discovered ModularWalls provided a beautiful, budget-friendly alternative. So, Sawsan chose ModularWalls for her front boundary, which brought unexpected benefits. It enhanced the home’s street appeal, and provided a sense of privacy and security and unlocked extra space for the family dog to roam freely. ModularWalls’ 10-year product warranty also provided further assurance and peace of mind.
“We actually had a quote to build a masonry [front] wall, and it was way above our budget. We had seen ModularWalls in our suburb, and we loved the idea. ModularWalls provided us with a really good quality product and it was much cheaper than building [a masonry] fence.”

Transformed a backyard for Selling Houses Australia
Selling Houses Australia featured a stunning transformation, revitalising a tired backyard with ModularWalls. Homeowners Tina and Mick sought to upgrade and transform their backyard space before downsizing to attract potential buyers.
Previously, their space featured old, worn-out pool fencing – so the installation of TrendWall® was a game-changer. This upgrade provided instant privacy and immediately enhanced the outdoor area’s appeal, making it a highly sought-after space. TrendWall®’s proven noise reduction is crucial for any suburban home, creating a private oasis (in turn significantly enhancing the property’s overall appeal).
ModularWalls played a significant role in refreshing their backyard, turning it into a true market gem; a dream space for buyers.

Created a striking backdrop that highlights a modern Mediterranean transformation
Homeowner Alhana envisioned a backyard that would enhance safety, functionality, and resale value while complementing her modern aesthetic. Worried that traditional metal fencing wouldn’t fit her stylish vision, she turned to ModularWalls as the perfect solution.
“My biggest concern was having this big arch against an ugly metal fence.”
The result was a stunning wall that elevated her outdoor space and dramatically reduced nearby noise.
“I think adding ModularWalls to your property definitely can add value, especially if you’re going to resell your home. It just looks better, not to mention the added safety, height and acoustic attenuation. I think if you’re going to spend money on your backyard, you want it to look nice. ModularWalls definitely makes the space look a lot nicer than just using a metal or steel fence.”
This transformation showcases how a well-considered design, combined with premium materials, can create a backyard oasis that is stunning, safe, private and practical.
