Post & rail fencing
Supplied and
installed properly
One, two, three and four rail in Australian hardwood or timber-look concrete, with custom gates to match, set out properly before anything goes in the ground.
The work
One trade,
one standard
Materials and build
What actually goes into the fence
Materials are specified per project and confirmed in the written quote, so you know what you are buying before you commit.
- Australian hardwood, specified per runIronbark, forest red gum, grey box, spotted gum and Queensland cypress, selected and graded for the job rather than bought on price from whoever is cheapest that month.
- Posts set to depth, not to the clockDepth and footing method are set by the ground conditions on site and confirmed at quote stage.
- Hardware specified per projectPowder coated where the finish matters and galvanised where the exposure does, so nothing rusts and bleeds down the face of the timber.
- Consistent post centresSet out with string lines and levels across the full run, including over falls and curves.
- Site left cleanSpoil handled, offcuts removed, and the line walked with you before we leave.
Configurations
Choose the line before
the quote
Single rail
One top rail, with or without wire infill. The lowest cost way to define a boundary without closing off the view.
Two rail
The classic frontage line. Open, low profile and the most common choice for residential and acreage boundaries.
Three rail
More presence and better containment. The usual choice for horse property and longer frontages.
Four rail
The strongest visual line and the best containment. Suits stock, long runs and properties where the fence is the first thing you see.
Concrete post & rail
Timber-look concrete in one, two or three rail. The same line as hardwood, with none of the movement, rot or repainting.
Custom gates & automation
Sliding or swinging, built to match the fence line and hung on oversized posts. Full automation available.

Timber look,
without the movement
Where concrete makes more sense
- Available in one, two or three railThe same configurations as timber, in the same set out, so the two can run together on one property.
- Nothing to repaint or re-oilColour is through the section rather than on the surface, so it weathers instead of peeling.
- Holds the line on reactive groundNo shrinkage, no twist and no split rails, which is what usually breaks a timber line on clay.
- Termite and rot proofWorth the difference on wet ground, along creek lines and anywhere stock rub the rails.
Timber still wins on warmth and on cost per metre. We will tell you which one suits your run at the site visit rather than pushing the dearer option.
Gates & automation
The entry is
the first impression
What we build into a gate
- Hung on oversized posts, braced and squaredThe posts either side of an opening are bigger than the run, dug deeper and braced, because a gate is a lever.
- Made to match the fence, not approximate itSame timber, same profile, same rail spacing, so the entry reads as one piece of work rather than a bolt on.
- Sliding or swinging, single or doubleA wide opening is split into two leaves so neither one sags. Sliding suits a tight approach or a slope.
- Full automation where you want itMotors, remotes, keypads, intercom and safety beams, wired in at build time rather than retro fitted later.
Tell us the opening width, the fall across it and whether power is nearby, and the gate is quoted with the fence rather than as an afterthought.
Timber swing pair
Braced timber leaves stained to match the run, hung square so they meet clean in the middle.
Wide opening, two leaves
A wide crossing split in two so neither gate carries enough span to drop out of square.
Gates into masonry
Hung off brick or stone piers, with the fence line picking up either side at the same height.
What it costs
The number, up front
Post & rail, supplied and installed
- Site visit and measureOn the property, walking the actual line.
- Written itemised quoteFixed. It does not move unless the scope does.
- Material supplyHardwood or concrete, specified, delivered and handled by us.
- Set out and installationBy the same four tradesmen, start to finish.
- Handover walkThe finished line walked with you before we leave, and checked against the quote.
Who this is not for
Being straight about this saves everyone time.
- Small repair work, a few panels or a single replacement post
- Colorbond, chain wire, glass pool fencing or timber paling
- Projects where the deciding factor is the lowest number on the page
- Work well outside our service area
If that is what you need, say so on the phone. We will tell you straight away, and where we can we will point you to someone who does that work well. A five minute call beats a wasted site visit for both of us.
Before you ask
The three questions
we get most
Because almost all of the cost sits in two places: the material and the set out. Properly graded hardwood costs more than whatever is on the rack, and stringing, levelling and setting posts to consistent centres takes longer than digging holes by eye. That is the part you see from the road in ten years.
Yes, for builders and landscapers working to their own program. We can supply hardwood or concrete specified for your run without installation. Tell us the length and configuration and we will quote the supply separately.
It depends on the length, the ground and access. We give you an installed duration and a start date in the written quote, and we do not book a job we cannot start when we said we would.
