Fencing
Timber and slat fencing built for the coast
Fences on the coast fail for predictable reasons: posts set in bare soil, zinc-plated screws that rust and streak, and lightweight rails that twist in the first big westerly. We build to avoid all three.
We build hardwood and treated-pine paling fences, horizontal slat and screen fencing, pool-side and side-return privacy fences, and matching gates. We also do repairs: a leaning panel, a dragging gate or a post that's rotted at ground level.
What's included
- Horizontal slat and batten fencing (timber or aluminium slats on timber frame)
- Treated-pine and hardwood paling fences
- Side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates
- Fence repairs and post replacement
- Privacy screens for decks, pools and bins
- Staining and sealing

Questions we get asked
Boundary fences up to 2 m generally don't need approval in Gold Coast City or Tweed Shire, but pool fencing and anything on a corner or near a driveway can. We'll tell you if your job falls into those categories.
In both Queensland and New South Wales, neighbours usually split the cost of a standard dividing fence. We can provide a quote you can share with your neighbour.
Timber looks warmer and can be stained to suit the house, but needs re-oiling every couple of years near the beach. Aluminium slats cost more up front and need almost no maintenance. Our fencing blog post compares them in detail.
