Nothing quite matches the look of real timber — the natural grain, the warmth, the way it suits a Queenslander or a leafy block. Done properly, a timber fence is affordable up front, endlessly customisable, and easy to repair one board at a time down the track.
The budget-friendly favourite. H4-treated against rot and termites, straight, and easy to paint or stain. Great value for a standard boundary.
Denser, heavier and longer-lasting, with richer grain. Costs more up front but rewards you with years and a premium look.
Not sure which suits your block and budget? That’s exactly the kind of thing we’ll talk through, honestly, when we come out to measure.
As a broad guide, timber fencing typically ranges from around $80 to $300 per metre installed — a standard treated-pine paling fence sits at the lower end, with hardwood, lapped-and-capped and feature designs toward the top. Height, timber choice, ground slope and site access all move the number. We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote — free — so there are no surprises.
Figures are general market ranges for guidance only, not a quote.
A timber fence lives or dies on its posts. Set them shallow or out of plumb and the whole run leans within a few seasons; set them deep, square and properly concreted and it stands straight for years. That unseen groundwork is where we do our best work — we’re built for what’s behind the line.
With quality materials and proper installation, a treated pine fence commonly lasts 10–15+ years and hardwood longer. Good footings, drainage away from posts, and the odd coat of oil all extend its life.
Treated pine is the best value for a standard boundary; hardwood costs more but lasts longer and looks richer. The right choice depends on your budget and how long you plan to stay.
It’s low-fuss, but not no-fuss. You can let it weather to a natural silver, or oil/stain it every few years to keep its colour and add life.
Yes — a lapped-and-capped design hides the gaps and rail tops for a cleaner, more finished look. It’s a popular upgrade and we’ll price it either way.
Timber wins on natural looks and lower upfront cost; Colorbond wins on maintenance and lifespan. We install both, so we’ll give you the honest trade-off for your place.
