    Timber Fencing Info & Inspiration

    Your Guide to Timber Fencing 

    Timber is a popular choice when building a fence. It provides a functional, private, and secure boundary for your property, is aesthetically pleasing, and easily customised to suit your requirements. Although it is a cost-effective option, it does require ongoing maintenance with regular cleaning, painting, and staining.

    PlaceMakers offers a variety of timber fence products, from the basic rough sawn posts and palings to more premium options, such as Primewood, laminated, and picket fences, along with decorative trellis.

    Standard Timber Fencing

    A budget-friendly option for the ever-popular post-and-paling fence. Aesthetically pleasing and easily customised, our posts and palings are available in a variety of sizes.

    Your budget friendly fencing material, rough sawn timber, has been cut with a saw but has not been sanded or planed afterwards, giving it an inconsistent surface with a fuzzy texture.

    Timber Fence Design Variations

    A basic paling fence is built with posts, rails, and palings. There are plenty of options for design variations such as:

    • Alternating the palings on either side of the rails, so there is no definitive front or back of the fence
    • A board and batten style fence, made with alternating the size of the palings
    • Adding a capping rails or decorative post caps

    Laminated Timber Fencing

    Laminated timber is engineered by gluing together layers of wood. Typically, three planks are glued together at perpendicular angles to produce a robust, strong product that is resistant to twisting or warping. As a result, you can expect a laminated timber fence to last decades. Laminated timber fences are the same each side, so both neighbours get the good side, and are easy to install.

    Choose from a steel framed fence with FenTec’s EasyWall system combined with laminated palings; or a more traditional style timber fence from KLC’s GenLam fencing system that includes laminated posts, rails, and palings.
