Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a timber fence last in Australia?
The lifespan of a timber fence in Australia depends on the type of wood used, the climate, and how well it’s maintained. On average, treated pine fences last around 10–15 years, while hardwood options like ironbark or spotted gum can last up to 25 years or more with proper care. Harsh weather, soil conditions, and exposure to moisture can shorten this lifespan if the fence isn’t built with durability in mind. Using galvanised steel posts instead of timber ones can significantly increase longevity by preventing rot at the base. Regular maintenance like staining, sealing, and checking for termite activity will also extend the fence’s life.
What type of timber is best for fencing?
The best timber for fencing depends on your budget, design preferences, and local climate. Treated pine is one of the most popular choices due to its affordability and resistance to decay and pests. However, hardwoods such as ironbark, jarrah, or spotted gum are preferred for high-end projects thanks to their density, strength, and natural durability. Hardwoods also offer a more premium look and often require less chemical treatment. It’s important to choose timber that’s rated for outdoor use and, ideally, treated to withstand termites and moisture.
Can timber fencing be customised?
Yes, timber fencing is highly customisable in both design and finish. It can be cut, shaped, and painted to suit a wide variety of styles—from traditional pickets and post-and-rail to modern slat or horizontal panel designs. You can choose the height, spacing, timber type, and even add decorative capping or screens for a tailored look. Timber fences can also be integrated with gates and other fencing types (like steel or Colorbond) for a hybrid design. Because of this flexibility, timber is often chosen for homeowners who want a fence that matches their property's aesthetic.
