Brush Fencing in Melbourne

Brush or brushwood fencing is a peculiar option given its nature, but that doesn’t make it any less viable for a home. A bustling suburb in a highly urbanised city like Melbourne can use a bit of nature to spruce it up, even if it’s a fence consisting of tightly packed branches. Of course, if you live in a place surrounded by nature, it’s a great fencing option, too.

That said, erecting brush fencing panels Melbourne homeowners love requires an expert to maximise its benefits. If you’re looking for one, look no further than Grays Fences & Gates and its highly experienced team of fence builders.

Natural Brush Fencing

Brush fencing is as natural as it gets: a fence that consists of hundreds or thousands of branches, specifically of the Melaleuca uncinata variety or brushwood. Native to sandy environments, brushwood is in plentiful supply both in the wild and plantations where they’re cut to size and packed for fencing.

The fence can be used to enclose a property, but it shines as a backdrop for key areas of the house, like the garden and swimming pool. It’s also suitable as a privacy fence due to its densely packed branches obscuring the view of prying eyes outside. Below are other benefits of brush fences.

Built Tough by the Desert

Thriving in the unforgiving sands of the inland desert, brushwood is more than capable of withstanding the rigours of the suburbs and extreme climate.

Nearly No Maintenance Necessary

Brushwood fences don’t need to be repainted or cleaned like most fences. Homeowners just have to keep the branches dry to prevent them from rotting.

Absorbs Unwanted Noise

Due to the way the packed branches are arranged, a brush fence is capable of absorbing some noise, making the immediate area less noisy.

Sustainable Fencing Solution

With plenty of brushwood to go around, the majority coming from plantations, this type of fence is less likely to put the ecosystem at risk.

More Resilient Than Timber

Brushwood’s characteristic resilience without chemical treatment bests treated timber in some aspects, namely cost-effectiveness and noise reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can brush fencing panels last?

Quality brush fences are known to outlast many other fencing options like timber and steel due to brushwood’s innate hardiness. With proper care, they can last between 25 and 40 years.

Is the fence prone to insects?

Brushwood branches contain natural oils that stave off insects like white ants and spiders. That said, you may want to inspect the fence every now and then for infestations.

Is brushwood fencing flammable?

Though brushwood has some resistance from being ignited, it can smoulder under hot and dry weather. We advise following the fire safety guidelines of your local shire or council if you plan to erect a brushwood fence.
