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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every component of our timber fencing is chosen for durability and long-term performance in Geelong's conditions.
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.
All metal fittings are hot-dipped galvanised to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring structural integrity lasts as long as the timber itself.
Rails are secured to hardwood posts with Bugle Batten screws — providing exceptional hold strength and resistance to movement over time.
Every post is set in properly poured concrete — not dry mix. This creates a stronger, more stable foundation that resists movement and settling.
Across Geelong and the Bellarine, galvanised steel posts are the preferred way to build a paling fence that genuinely lasts — they won't rot, twist or shift the way timber posts can under our coastal wind and weather. We think every fence here is better for them, so we don't treat the upgrade as a profit line: you pay only for the added materials, confirmed in your free quote. No inflated upgrade fee, no labour loading.
And we screw, never nail. Every rail and plinth is fixed to the posts with large-gauge galvanised (Class 3) bugle batten screws, driven up tight — nails work loose and the fence sags within a few years. The only nails we use hold the palings to the rails. It's the difference between a fence that stands straight for decades and one that needs propping by year five.
