Timber Fences in Geelong

For most of human history, timber has been a staple of construction. Widely available and easy to cut and shape, timber beams and trusses have been visible in houses throughout the ages, including the modern era. Modern building materials like steel and concrete may be advantageous in some respects, but so is timber in others – like fencing.

Quality Timber Fencing

There’s so much to admire about timber that it won’t be falling out of favour as a fencing material anytime soon. Combined with modern production techniques, you can’t find any other material that’s more cost-friendly than timeless timber.

Cost-Effectiveness

Due to its availability and ease of production, timber can help keep the cost of a residential fencing project low without compromising quality.

Eco-Friendliness

Most timber used today is sourced from sustainably managed forests, making timber fences viable for the environmentally conscious.

Good Durability

When treated, timber can withstand typical threats to its integrity, such as humid weather and insects that feed on wood.

Boosts Resale Value

Timber has its own charm and attracts some fans, so a residential or commercial property with timber fencing can be sold for a higher price.

Natural Beauty

Even when treated, timber retains its natural aesthetic. This makes timber fencing a cost-effective option for sprucing up your property.

Design Variety

Timber can be shaped into various designs with basic tools, namely a saw. This is an advantage for keeping timber fencing costs low.

Expert Timber Fence Installations

As one of our flagship fencing products, timber fencing from Grays Fences & Gates carries a guarantee of quality and expert installation. Choose from two kinds: treated pine paling or Merbau screen/slat fencing.

Treated Pine Paling

Our standard timber fencing Geelong homes have is by no means ordinary. We plan its design to bring out the beauty of the house it encloses, using sawn treated pine for the palings and mixed hardwood or dressed cypress for the posts. Add latticework to make the timber fence less bland.

Merbau Screen and Slat Fencing

Merbau is a unique species of timber that’s native to the Southeast Asia and Oceania regions. Its distinct dark reddish-brown hue, a telltale sign that the timber has matured, gives the screen or slat fence its natural beauty. It’s also resistant against insects, even when only kiln-dried.
