Timber Fence Styles We Install

From cost-effective standard palings to premium feature panels, we build timber fencing to suit every Geelong home.

Standard Palings

The classic Australian paling fence — timber palings butted side by side on horizontal rails with capping. Offers solid privacy at an affordable price point. Available in 1.5m, 1.65m, and 1.8m heights.

Lapped & Capped

Our most popular upgrade. Palings overlap each other for a completely gap-free finish with capping rails top and bottom. Ideal for coastal Geelong properties needing full wind and privacy protection.

Feature Panels

Premium horizontal or slat-style panels that create a striking modern aesthetic. Perfect for front fences and garden features where appearance matters. Custom-built to your specifications.

Picket Fencing

Classic picket fencing for front boundaries and garden borders. Available in pointed or rounded picket tops, with standard or decorative spacing to complement heritage and period Geelong homes.

Quality Palings for Every Budget

The palings are the visible face of your timber fence, so quality matters. We supply and install timber fence palings in both treated pine and hardwood options, depending on your budget and the look you're after.

Treated pine palings are the most popular choice for standard residential fencing — they're pressure-treated to resist rot and insect damage, and they're a cost-effective option that performs well in Geelong's conditions. For a premium finish, hardwood palings offer superior density, natural beauty, and an exceptionally long lifespan.

We supply palings in standard heights of 1.5m, 1.65m, and 1.8m, and can accommodate custom heights for specific requirements. All our timber fence palings are sourced from reputable suppliers to ensure consistent quality.

Hardwood post with poured concrete footing for timber fence in Geelong

Materials & Quality Standards

Every component of our timber fencing is chosen for durability and long-term performance in Geelong's conditions.

Hardwood Posts

We always use hardwood fence posts — naturally resistant to rot, termites, and moisture. Far superior to treated pine posts, especially in the damp coastal environment of the Bellarine.

Galvanised Fittings

All metal fittings are hot-dipped galvanised to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring structural integrity lasts as long as the timber itself.

Bugle Batten Screws

Rails are secured to hardwood posts with Bugle Batten screws — providing exceptional hold strength and resistance to movement over time.

Poured Concrete Footings

Every post is set in properly poured concrete — not dry mix. This creates a stronger, more stable foundation that resists movement and settling.

Timber Fencing FAQ

A well-built timber fence with hardwood posts, poured concrete footings, and quality treated pine palings can last 15 to 20 years in the Geelong area. Using hardwood and galvanised fittings extends the lifespan significantly, especially in coastal conditions.
We recommend treated pine palings paired with hardwood posts (such as red gum or ironbark) for the best balance of durability and value. Hardwood posts resist rot and termite damage, while treated pine palings provide an affordable and long-lasting option for Geelong's conditions.
Standard paling fencing has palings butted side by side with capping on top. Lapped and capped fencing overlaps each paling for a more solid, windproof finish with no gaps — it also has capping rails on top for a neater, more finished appearance. Lapped and capped costs a bit more but provides better privacy and wind protection.
We always use hardwood posts for our timber fencing. Hardwood is naturally resistant to rot, termites, and moisture — making it far more durable than treated pine posts, particularly in the damp coastal environment around Geelong and the Bellarine.
Timber fencing in Geelong typically ranges from $65 to $110 per metre installed, depending on the style (standard paling, lapped & capped, or feature), fence height, timber type, and site conditions. We provide free on-site quotes with no obligation.
