Timber Fencing
Timber fencing is a timeless option we love working with. It’s versatile, cost-effective and blends beautifully with all types of properties. Whether you’re after a classic boundary fence or something more custom, we’ll help you choose the right timber, height and style to suit your space.
Timber is also easy to repair and update down the track, making it a smart long-term investment. We treat every timber fence as a feature of the property, not just a necessity. If you’re after a warm, natural finish that offers both privacy and charm, timber’s the way to go.
COLORBOND® Fencing
We recommend COLORBOND® fencing for clients looking for a strong, low-maintenance and modern option. It’s built tough for Australian conditions and comes in a wide range of colours to suit your home or commercial site. COLORBOND® is ideal for boundary fencing thanks to its clean lines and solid panels that offer full privacy and wind protection.
It's also termite-proof and fire-resistant, making it a solid choice for regional and bushland properties. We’ll handle everything from quoting to install, so you can enjoy a fence that looks great and lasts. Ask us about the best colours for your space.
Aluminium Fencing
Aluminium fencing is one of our go-to choices when clients want something clean, modern and fuss-free. It won’t rust or warp, which makes it perfect for coastal and poolside installs. We often recommend aluminium for front fences, gates, and decorative panels because it gives you a sleek finish without the upkeep.
It’s lightweight yet sturdy, and we can custom-size it to suit any layout. If you’re after a fencing option that looks sharp and holds up well in all weather, aluminium delivers. We’ll walk you through the design and colour options to make sure it matches your property perfectly.
Chain Mesh Fencing
Chain mesh fencing is a practical solution we often use for commercial, industrial and rural sites. It’s cost-effective, durable and quick to install—perfect for securing large areas without blowing the budget. We can supply and install chain mesh in a range of heights and gauges, with optional barb or razor wire for added security. It’s also a great option for schools, sporting grounds, and work yards.
We always make sure your chain mesh fence meets local requirements and suits the level of security you need. If you want strong, no-nonsense fencing that gets the job done, this is a solid option.
Security Fencing
Security fencing is all about protection and peace of mind—and we take that seriously. We build fences that not only act as a visual deterrent but also stand up to attempts at forced entry. Whether it’s for a commercial site, warehouse or restricted area, we’ll tailor the materials and layout to suit your security needs.
From high-spec steel panels to reinforced chainwire with barbed wire toppers, we’ve got the tools and know-how to secure your site properly. If safety is your top priority, let’s talk about the best security fencing options for your project.
Rural Fencing
We know what rural properties need—tough, functional fencing that keeps stock in and unwanted visitors out. From fencing large paddocks to smaller property perimeters, we supply and install rural fencing that’s built to handle wide open spaces and rougher terrain.
We work with wire, timber posts, steel options and more, depending on the layout and livestock involved. Our team ensures every rural fence is correctly tensioned, well anchored and built to last. Whether you’re managing cattle, horses or crops, we’ll help you set clear boundaries with practical fencing that fits your land and budget.
Barbed Wire Fencing
Barbed wire is an effective way to increase security and containment, especially for rural or commercial properties. We can install barbed wire as a standalone solution or as a topper on post and wire, timber or chain mesh fences. It’s ideal for deterring trespassers and keeping livestock in check, especially across large or remote properties.
We’ll help you design a layout that balances effectiveness with safety, ensuring compliance with local regulations. Our team handles each install with care to make sure it’s secure, properly tensioned and suited to your site conditions. If you need stronger boundaries, barbed wire delivers.
Glass Fencing
Glass fencing gives you an unobstructed view while still offering safety and style—perfect for pools, balconies and garden areas. We install toughened glass panels that meet safety regulations and look fantastic in modern homes and commercial spaces. You can choose between frameless or semi-frameless designs, depending on the look you’re going for.
We love how glass fencing adds a premium finish without blocking sightlines, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining areas. Our team will make sure every panel is level, secure and compliant, so all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the view.
What’s the difference between chain mesh and security fencing?
While both are used for securing spaces, chain mesh (also known as chainwire or cyclone fencing) is typically a woven wire mesh that’s cost-effective and easy to install over large areas. It’s often used in schools, sporting fields, or rural properties. Security fencing, on the other hand, uses stronger materials—like steel palisade or welded mesh—and is designed to prevent intrusion. Security fencing may also include features like anti-climb panels, barbed wire or electric deterrents. The key difference comes down to the level of protection needed: chain mesh is good for defining boundaries, while security fencing is for high-risk areas where trespassing or theft is a concern.
Do I need council approval to build a fence in Gladstone?
In most cases, standard boundary fences up to two metres high don’t require council approval in Gladstone, but it’s always best to double-check with Gladstone Regional Council before starting. If your fence is higher than two metres, located on a corner block, includes retaining elements, or is in a heritage overlay area, you may need building approval or development consent. It’s also important to communicate with neighbours when fencing shared boundaries, as you may need to issue a formal notice or share costs under the Dividing Fences Act 1953 (QLD). A local contractor can help guide you through what’s needed.
What type of fence is best for privacy?
If privacy is your main priority, solid-panel fences like COLORBOND®, timber paling or modular steel fencing are often the most effective choices. These materials provide full coverage without gaps, creating a visual and noise barrier between your property and neighbours or roads. COLORBOND® in particular is favoured for its durability and low maintenance, while timber can be easily customised for height and style. Avoid open-style fencing like aluminium slats or chain mesh if full privacy is a key concern. It’s also worth checking local council height restrictions, as most residential fences are limited to 1.8 to two metres.
