Why timber

A warm, natural fence that feels like home

Timber is a classic for a reason. It softens the look of a yard and does the everyday jobs a fence should do. Here is what our customers love about it.

Natural warm look

Timber has a warmth that steel can't match, and it sits beautifully against a garden or an older home.

Real privacy

Close-fitted palings block the view and take the edge off street noise, so the backyard feels like yours again.

Keeps kids and dogs safe

A solid boundary with no gaps at the bottom, so the little ones and the dog stay where they should be.

Good-neighbour finish

Build it double-sided and it looks just as good from your neighbour's yard, which keeps everyone happy along the fence line.

Suits any home

From a Queenslander to a new build, timber blends in and lifts your street appeal, handy if you are thinking of selling.

Cost-effective for a big yard

Treated pine is a budget-friendly way to fence a long boundary or a big block without cutting corners.

Your options

Timber styles to suit your place

There is more to a timber fence than meets the eye. Here are the styles we build, and we will help you pick the one that suits your place when we come and measure up.

Butted paling

Palings butted up side by side for a solid, private fence. The classic backyard timber fence.

Lapped paling

Each paling overlaps the next, so there are no gaps to see or squeeze through, even as the timber moves over time.

Lap and cap

Lapped palings finished with a capping rail along the top, for a neat, tidy edge.

Good neighbour

Palings alternate from one side to the other, so the fence looks the same from both yards. A fair, tidy finish for a shared boundary.

Picket fence

A classic picket fence for the front yard, with that timeless street appeal.

Pine or hardwood? We usually recommend treated pine. It is the cost-effective option, and these days treated pine lasts within a close range of hardwood while keeping a sleek, clean finish. Hardwood is a great choice too, it just needs a bit more upkeep, so we recommend sanding and staining it for the best finish and the longest life. We will talk you through both when we quote.

Premium timber

Batten fencing, hardwood features and Colorbond combinations

Want more than a standard paling fence? Our premium timber range steps things up with clean batten lines, rich hardwoods like merbau and balau, and Colorbond panels framed by timber feature posts. Same crew, same honest quote, just a sharper look for the front of the house, a pool surround or anywhere the fence is on show.

Batten fencing

Vertical or horizontal battens in treated pine or hardwood, with the spacing set to suit you. Closer for full privacy, or opened up a touch for airflow. A clean, modern look that suits a new build.

Merbau and balau slats

Rich, warm hardwood slats that age beautifully. A favourite for front fences, pool surrounds and privacy screens where the timber is on show.

Hardwood feature posts

Chunky sanded and stained hardwood posts that frame the fence and give the whole run a designed, high-end feel.

Colorbond and timber combination

Colorbond panels between timber feature posts, or timber battens mixed into a Colorbond run. Steel where you want low upkeep, timber where you want warmth.

Feature front fences

A premium timber front fence with a gate to match, so the whole entrance ties together. We can add automation too.

Pool and courtyard screens

Batten or slat screens that frame a pool surround or courtyard and turn it into a private little retreat.

Questions

Timber fencing FAQs

How much does a timber fence cost?

Every yard is different, so we come out and give you a price after a free measure-up. It comes down to the length, the height, whether you go treated pine or hardwood, and whether the old fence needs removing. There is no obligation to go ahead.

Treated pine or hardwood?

We usually recommend treated pine. It is the cost-effective option, and these days treated pine lasts within a close range of hardwood, with a sleek, clean finish. Hardwood is a great choice too, it just needs a bit more upkeep, so we recommend sanding and staining it for the best finish and the longest life. Either way we will give you honest advice on what suits your place.

How long does a timber fence last?

A well-built timber fence lasts many years. Treated pine holds up well against rot and termites and keeps its finish with next to no work, and hardwood lasts longer again with a sand and stain now and then to keep it looking its best.

Do you do good-neighbour fences?

Yes. A good-neighbour fence has the palings alternating side to side, so it looks the same from both yards. It is a fair, tidy finish that keeps everyone happy along the boundary.

What styles of timber fence do you do?

Plenty. Butted paling, lapped paling, lap and cap, good-neighbour and picket fences, plus our premium timber range: batten fencing, merbau and balau slats, sanded hardwood feature posts and Colorbond and timber combinations. We will talk you through the look that suits your place when we come and measure up.

Do you do batten fencing, merbau or feature fences?

Yes. Our premium timber range covers batten fencing, merbau and balau slats, sanded and stained hardwood feature posts, and Colorbond and timber combinations. We build from a set range of proven styles rather than one-off custom designs, which keeps the price sensible and the finish consistent. Ask us when we come to measure up.

Do you remove the old fence?

Yes, we can pull out and take away the old fence as part of the job. Just let us know when we come to quote.
