Fencing

Fencing & feature screens

Every property needs a fence of some description, usually more than one. Fences define boundaries and keep dogs and small children safely on the right side, so it's important to choose the right one for your place.

Timber paling fences

The most common fence is the 1800 mm (6 ft) timber fence, either lap-and-cap or straight palings. Built with H4 treated pine posts and treated pine rails and palings, a properly constructed fence should last 20 to 25 years.

Colorbond and feature screens

Colorbond fencing has become very popular. It comes in many colours and sizes, and once it's up there's nothing to maintain: no painting or staining.

Feature fences and screens are usually built from the same timbers as decking and give a more elegant finish. They also work inside the boundary, to define parts of the garden or simply cover an ugly wall. Whatever your situation, we have a fence for you.

Fencing FAQs

How long does a timber fence last?

A properly built paling fence using H4 treated pine posts lasts around 20 to 25 years. Painting or staining it extends its life further.

Is Colorbond better than timber?

Colorbond needs virtually no maintenance and comes in many colours; timber is more natural-looking and easier to customise. Many clients use Colorbond on side boundaries and timber feature screens where the fence is on show.
