Timber fencing
Timber is the classic boundary fence: warm, easy to shape around a block and simple to repair later.
It suits a backyard, a front fence or a rural property.
We build in hardwood and pine. A timber fence can be as plain as a lapped and capped paling fence or as detailed as a feature front fence with gates and trims. Posts and rails carry the load, so we pay as much attention to what goes in the ground as to the face you see.
Timber does need looking after. Sun, rain and termites all take a toll in south east Queensland, so the species, treatment and finish you choose matter for how long it keeps looking good.
Watch it go together.
- Mark out the lineThe fence line and post positions are marked out with you on site.
- Posts in concreteHoles are dug and posts are set in concrete, plumb and in line.
- Rails and frameRails or framing go on so the fence has something solid to hang on.
- Palings go onPalings are fixed one by one along the rails, then capped.
- Finish and clean upCaps, gates and final checks, then the site is cleaned up.
Real jobs, real photos.
Treatment and finish
Treated timber and a good stain or sealer slow weathering. Ask what is right for your site and how often it will want attention.
Post depth and footings
Posts hold the fence up. Soil type and slope decide how deep they go and whether they need concrete.
Heights and rules
Front and boundary fences can have height limits. Check with your council before ordering a tall fence.
How long does a timber fence last?
It depends on the timber, the treatment, the soil and how well it is looked after. We can talk through the options when we see the site.
Can you match my neighbour’s timber fence?
Often we can get close. Send a photo and the approximate height and we will say what is possible.
Do you do gates as well?
Yes, gates can be built in the same timber as the fence. Mention the width and how you want them to open.
