Frequently Asked Questions
Can timber fencing be painted or stained?
Yes. One of the appealing qualities of timber fencing is how easily it can be painted or stained to suit changing tastes or to match the colours of a property. Paint provides a solid, opaque finish that covers the natural grain of the timber, while stain allows the grain to show through while still providing protection against moisture and UV exposure. Both options are available in a wide range of colours. It's important to prepare the timber surface properly before applying any finish, and to use products that are suitable for exterior use and appropriate for the specific timber species. Re-application every few years is generally recommended to maintain the protective qualities of the finish.
Can timber fencing be used on a sloped block?
Yes. Timber fencing can be adapted to suit sloped ground using either a stepped or raked approach. Stepped timber fencing keeps each panel level and adjusts the height of the posts to accommodate the change in ground level, creating a series of steps as the fence follows the slope. Raked timber fencing angles the rails and palings to follow the natural gradient of the land more closely. The most suitable approach depends on the degree of slope and the style of fence being installed. On steeper blocks, a stepped approach is often more practical, while gentler slopes may be better suited to a raked design. An experienced fencing contractor will assess your site and recommend the most appropriate solution.
How is timber fencing installed?
Timber fence installation typically begins with marking out the fence line and determining the position of the posts. Posts are set into the ground, either concreted in or packed with compacted fill, at regular intervals along the fence line. The depth and diameter of the post holes depend on the height of the fence and the soil conditions. Once the posts are set and the concrete has cured, the horizontal rails are attached between the posts, and the vertical palings or pickets are then fixed to the rails. Gates are hung once the fence structure is in place. The entire process requires careful attention to alignment and level to ensure a neat, professional result. Professional installation helps ensure the fence is structurally sound and built to last.
