There is something a Colorbond® fence just cannot replicate: the warmth and character of real timber. Whether it is a standard butted fence, a lapped and capped privacy fence, or a good neighbour design for a shared boundary, timber brings a natural look that suits Queensland homes and gardens perfectly. We work with treated pine for budget-conscious jobs and hardwood for premium longevity. Every post is sunk properly, every rail is level, and every paling is fixed straight.

Why choose
timber fencing?

01

Natural Warmth & Character

Timber brings a warmth and texture that steel cannot replicate. It suits Queenslanders, modern homes, and established gardens alike.

02

Multiple Styles Available

Standard butted, lapped and capped, or good neighbour — we build all popular styles to suit your property and preferences.

03

Hardwood and Treated Pine

We work with both species depending on your budget and requirements. Hardwood for maximum longevity; treated pine as a cost-effective alternative.

04

Full Privacy & Security

Full-height paling fences offer excellent privacy and a solid boundary. Ideal for families with kids or pets.

05

Properly Set Posts

Posts concreted deep into the ground for structural integrity. No leaning, no movement, built to stay straight for years.

06

Customisable to Your Property

Timber can be stained, painted, or oiled to match your home. Heights, styles, and finishes can be tailored to your needs.

Available options.

We'll help you choose the right product for your project and budget.

01

Standard Butted

Clean and classic, this style uses vertical palings with a slight gap between each. It is commonly used for back fences and boundary lines.

Best for

Simple and timeless, ideal for private yards

02

Lapped and Capped

For a more solid and polished finish, this style overlaps each paling and adds a smooth capping piece across the top. It offers full privacy with a neat, finished look.

Best for

Full privacy, strong and long lasting, side and front fences

03

Good Neighbour

This double sided design looks the same from both sides. It is a great choice for shared boundaries where both neighbours want a clean and balanced result.

Best for

Shared boundaries, neat on both sides

Common questions.

Pricing depends on fence length, height, timber selection, ground conditions, and access. We provide tailored pricing once your project has been assessed.
We typically use hardwood posts with treated pine rails and palings for a consistent, durable result. Full hardwood builds are available where required.
Standard butted uses vertical palings fixed side by side with a small gap. Lapped and capped overlaps each paling and adds a capping rail across the top for a more solid, polished finish with full privacy.
A good neighbour fence is a double-sided design that looks the same from both sides. It is a popular choice for shared boundaries where both neighbours want a neat and balanced result.
No. Timber is a natural material, so some variation, minor bends, and movement are expected. This is normal and does not affect the structural performance of the fence.
Timber can contain natural moisture at installation. As it settles, minor shrinkage, gaps, or movement may occur. This is normal behaviour for treated timber.
Hardwood can be used where required, but our standard system uses hardwood posts with treated pine rails and palings — designed to balance strength, consistency, and long-term performance.
Yes. Timber fencing benefits from painting, staining, or oiling to protect against weathering. Regular upkeep extends the life and appearance of the fence.
With proper installation and maintenance, hardwood posts can last 25+ years. Treated pine palings typically last 15 to 20 years depending on exposure and upkeep.
We can match general style and height, but exact colour and grain matches may vary due to natural timber variation and weathering over time.
Fence layout depends on the slope and site conditions. Stepped fencing follows the ground in level sections with gaps underneath, while raked fencing follows the slope angle. We confirm the approach during quoting.
No. We focus on full fence installations. We do not take on repairs, partial sections, or isolated panel replacements.
