What we do
Fencing & more, across Townsville & surrounds
G & T Hire is a locally owned Townsville business covering fencing, structural landscaping, pool safety inspections and equipment hire. We own our machinery, we’re licensed and insured, and the crew that quotes your job is the crew that does it.
Fencing & Gates
Fencing for every Townsville block
We build every kind of fence Townsville homes and businesses need — timber paling for warm, cost-effective privacy; cyclone-rated Colorbond that actually survives the wet-season blow; rust-free aluminium for pool surrounds and slat screens; frameless glass pool fencing; and acoustic fencing for timber & lightweight panel systems such as modular wall, Quickbuilt or alternate for busy-road frontages. Whatever the boundary, we set the posts to the correct depth, fix to the right wind-region spec and finish it straight, solid and square.
Because we’re fencing specialists and licensed pool safety inspectors, we also sort dividing-fence quotes you can share with the neighbour, replace storm-damaged fencing, and repair sagging gates and failed motors.

Pool Safety
Pool safety inspections & compliant pool fencing
As licensed Queensland pool safety inspectors (PS15495259 & PS15528121), we inspect, repair and certify pool barriers right across Townsville. A full inspection and QBCC pool safety certificate is $250 — including a re-inspection — and because we’re fencing specialists too, we can fix whatever fails compliance and certify it in the one visit.
Putting in a new pool fence? We install glass and aluminium pool fencing built to the AS1926 standard — correct gap sizes, a non-climbable zone and self-closing, self-latching gates — so it’s safe, compliant and looks the part.
- $250 inspection + certificate
- Compliance repairs
- Glass & aluminium pool fencing
- $99 onsite consultations
Structural Landscaping
Retaining walls, drainage & earthworks
The groundwork behind a great yard is our niche. We build timber and concrete sleeper retaining walls — engineered, drained and built to hold — and handle the drainage, core drilling, trenching, post holes and footings that come before the fence or the landscaping.
We own our mini loaders, excavator and tipper truck / trailers, so we can take a site from raw dirt to finished boundary as one team — and cart the spoil and rubbish away when we’re done.

Equipment Hire
Mini loader & equipment hire
Need to move dirt, dig holes or shift a load? Hire our well-maintained Kanga mini loaders from $230 a day — including the trailer, 4-in-1 bucket and spreader bar — with augers, a trencher, cement mixer and more available. We’ve also got a 2-tonne Bobcat excavator from $300 a day and a 10x6 tipper trailer from $120.
Dry hire it yourself or have us supply and operate it, and we’ll deliver and pick up for $80 so you don’t need a tow vehicle.
