Why choose timber fencing?
Timber is still the most popular fence in Townsville for good reason — it looks great, it is cost-effective, and it suits everything from a Queenslander cottage to a modern new build. The difference is in how it is built.
We use quality treated pine and hardwood, set posts in concrete to the correct depth, and detail every fence to drain and breathe so it lasts in our climate. From standard paling to lapped-and-capped and decorative feature screens, we build it to be straight, solid and square.

Why timber fencing suits the Townsville climate
Timber is still the most popular fence in Townsville backyards, and for good reason — it's the most affordable way to get real privacy and security, and it suits everything from a classic Queenslander in North Ward to a new build out in Burdell or Idalia. The difference between a timber fence that lasts and one that sags after a couple of wet seasons is all in the build.
We use quality treated pine and hardwood, concrete every post to the correct depth, and detail the fence so it sheds water and breathes rather than trapping moisture against the timber. Built properly, a timber fence here will comfortably give you 10 to 15 years or more with only the occasional re-oil or paint.
Timber fence styles, gates and old-fence removal
From standard lapped paling and double-sided 'good neighbour' fences to lapped-and-capped, slat-top and full decorative privacy screens, we build to the look and budget you're after. Most residential timber fences sit between 1.5m and 1.8m high, and we can add a matching timber gate, then stain or paint the lot to tie in with your home.
Because we run our own augers, mini loaders and tipper truck & trailers, we can demolish and cart away your old fence, get posts into tough Townsville clay or rock quickly, and leave the site clean — all as one team.
What affects the price and lifespan of a timber fence
A timber fence quote comes down to a handful of things: the total length, the height, the timber grade you choose, how many gates, and the ground itself — rock, slope, tree roots or an old fence to remove all add time. Access matters too; if we can get a mini loader in to auger the holes, posts go in faster and cheaper than digging by hand.
Lifespan is mostly about the build with a little upkeep. Quality treated timber, posts concreted to depth and good drainage do the heavy lifting; keeping reticulation and sprinklers off the timber and re-oiling or painting every few years will see a Townsville timber fence comfortably past the ten-year mark.

FAQs
Timber fencing — your questions answered
How long does a timber fence last in Townsville?
With quality treated timber, correctly concreted posts and good drainage, a well-built timber fence will typically give you 10–15+ years. Lifespan comes down to the timber grade, how the posts are set and a little maintenance — keeping sprinklers off it and re-oiling or painting every few years makes a big difference in our climate.
How do I approach my neighbour about a new dividing fence?
In Queensland a dividing fence is usually a shared cost between neighbours. The friendly first step is a quick chat to agree on the style and that the fence needs doing. If you want it formal, a Notice to Contribute (Form 1) sets out the proposed work and cost so both sides agree before it starts. We are happy to provide a written quote you can share with your neighbour to make that conversation easy.
How do I check where my boundary is?
Your boundary is shown on your property survey plan or title — if you do not have it, a registered surveyor can peg it for certainty. As a guide, the existing fence line, survey pegs at the corners and your Rates notice/plan can help. When we quote we look at this with you so the new fence goes on the correct line and there are no disputes later.
Can you remove and dispose of my old fence?
Yes — we can remove and cart away your old fence as part of the job. With our own machinery and tipper trailers we handle the demolition, removal and clean-up so you do not have to lift a finger.
