Quality Timber Fencing
Timber is unlikely to fall out of favour anytime soon, let alone for erecting quality fencing. Its myriad advantages are too tempting not to consider for enclosing your property and keeping it and its inhabitants safe.
Cost-Effectiveness
Compared to more modern materials like steel, timber makes for a great fence for its price. If you know how high a custom fencing project can get, this can be a boon.
Eco-Friendliness
Contrary to popular belief, a timber fence can be eco-friendly if the quality materials are sourced from managed forests. It won’t contribute to wanton forest clearing.
Good Durability
Most timber construction materials are pre-treated with chemicals to provide extra protection from things that can damage timber over time, such as termites.
Boosts Resale Value
Nothing screams a comfy, classic home like a timber fence surrounding it. Any homeowner looking to sell their home in the future can command a higher price.
Natural Beauty
Highly urbanised centres like Melbourne and other areas we service can use a dash of nature to add some organic aesthetic. Timber fencing is a great choice for doing this.
Design Variety
Timber can be fashioned in various wood fencing designs – posts, slats and everything in between. If necessary, the timber can be cut on-site to the needed size.
Expert Timber Fence Installations
Many homeowners have benefitted from Grays Fences & Gates’ experience and expertise in erecting a timber fence Melbourne residents prefer. We provide two kinds of timber fencing options.
Treated Pine Paling
Enclose your property with a paling fence made from sawn treated pine with mixed species hardwood or dressed cypress fence posts. Add bullnose lattices on the top to bring out the wood fence’s beauty.
Merbau Screen and Slat Fencing
Characterised by its reddish-brown hue, Merbau fencing takes beautiful timber fencing up a notch. It makes for great privacy fences to block any prying eyes from getting a glimpse of your yard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the lifespan of a timber fence?
Treated timber tends to last far longer than untreated timber, especially when exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. With proper maintenance, a timber fence can last over 15 years.
How can I maintain a timber fence?
Remove dirt and mud from the fence with a simple soap solution. However, as the timber can absorb water, you may want to apply a layer of sealant before cleaning the fence with water. Also, damaged panels should be replaced.
What is Merbau?
Merbau is a type of hardwood that’s native to the Asia-Pacific region, with some growing in north Queensland. It’s known for its dark reddish-brown colour, a common sign of ageing among Merbau trees.
Does my wood fencing project need a building permit?
Victoria state law states that a building permit is legally necessary when a fence’s height exceeds the specified limit in a certain situation. We advise coordinating with your local shire or council first to know if your project needs one.
