The white picket fence is the quintessential symbol of home ownership and suburban family life: a nostalgic representation of the Australian dream. But in 2026, homeowners expect more than charm alone. They want durability, privacy, sound reduction and low upkeep. ModularWalls delivers all that and more. Read on to see why more homeowners are choosing ModularWalls over traditional fencing options.
1. Proven noise reduction
Tested and rated by the National Acoustic Laboratory of Australia, ModularWalls offer proven noise reduction of 28 dB or more, making them an attractive choice for pool, front and boundary walls. ModularWalls’ acoustic performance means homeowners can enjoy lively family time without constant worry about disturbance. Customer Ben used TrendWall to create a gorgeous, serene coastal backyard. With three young girls full of energy, Ben was mindful of having a harmonious space not just for his own family, but his neighbours as well. TrendWall has been a game-changer, delivering on both style and noise reduction with its acoustic capabilities.
“We have three young girls, and when they have a few friends over and they’re all playing, it gets noisy! We wanted to keep our neighbours happy without making too much noise, which ModularWalls has definitely helped with.” Ben, ModularWalls customer
2. A contemporary aesthetic for increased appeal
A ModularWalls solution does more than just look modern – it totally elevates your outdoor space and provides a premium point of difference. Not to mention, ModularWalls boosts privacy, security and acoustic appeal, highly sought after in the property market.
“I think adding ModularWalls to your property definitely can add value… It just looks better, not to mention the added safety, height and acoustic attenuation. ModularWalls definitely makes your space look a lot nicer than just using a metal or steel fence.” Alhana, ModularWalls customer
3. ModularWalls: the sturdy, durable and low-maintenance white picket fence alternative
Traditional options like picket, timber or rendered masonry demand regular upkeep. ModularWalls offers a low-maintenance alternative: fibre-cement outer skins that resist termites, rot, fire and moisture: built to stand up to Australian conditions.

Designed with the DIY customer in mind, ModularWalls are surprisingly easy to install.

Simply:

The process is straightforward and satisfying. In addition, it also meant that customers can save on labour costs by installing their fence DIY.
