Fencing

A paling fence is a type of timber fencing, typically found as a rear or side fence on a residential property, with sawn lengths of treated timber nailed to the rails with gaps in between. Commonly found all over Australia.

Composite fencing is made from a mixture of recycled plastic and real wood. It has the aesthetic look of a real wooden fence with the advantage of lasting longer.

Wrought iron is the staple of metal fencing historically but there are now many different materials to consider. For example, aluminium has become very popular in Australia due to its low maintenance.

There are two types of stone walls today. The traditional stone walls and the modern take, which are drywalls made of stones fitted together without the need for cement.

Your fence design depends on personal preferences and practical parameters such as privacy, security, and safety. There are a lot of options to choose from, but regardless of what you choose, you should ensure it is made from high-quality materials. High quality fencing products are made from superior materials and will last you for years while still maintaining their look. They also tend to feature much more stylish designs and detailing, making them more attractive for homeowners and visitors alike. When fencing swimming pools, the design must also account for the required barrier layout, gates and access.

There are a number of decisions to make before you are ready to purchase and install your fencing. Alongside a choice of material and style, it’s important to define the fence height, position and number of gates. Each dimension of the fence is important since it will specify the amount of material needed to complete the job.  Local zoning laws in Australia will put some limits regarding fence construction so you may want to contact your local council or trades professional for advice. Next, it’s about deciding what traits you most desire from a fence, matching that with the strengths of the different types of fencing available. For example, do you want something simple and quickly installed like a paling fence or something with a stronger presence like a stone wall? The practical and stylistic elements of these decisions will greatly help narrow down your choices. Glass pool fencing can maintain views across a pool area, while its height, gates and surrounding clearances still need to meet applicable requirements. Glass fencing with balustrade panels can maintain views across a pool area, while the layout still needs to meet applicable requirements.
