We install three types of fencing across Brendale, Moreton Bay and North Brisbane: Colorbond steel fencing for boundaries and privacy, laser cut screens for privacy, feature walls and gates, and security fencing for industrial and commercial sites. We quote, remove the old fence where needed, install the new one and clean up afterwards.
Because fencing is often part of a bigger job, we can combine it with soft landscaping, turf and irrigation, so a new garden and its fence are planned and finished together. On commercial and industrial sites, the fence line then becomes part of the regular grounds maintenance scope.
The fencing we install
We keep to three fencing types, so we can do each of them well:
Colorbond steel fencing
Steel panel fencing for residential boundaries, side returns and commercial boundaries. Low-maintenance, private and available in a range of colours to match the building or the neighbourhood.
Colorbond gates
Single and double gates to match the fence, for side access, bins and vehicles.
Laser cut screens
Decorative metal screen panels for privacy, feature walls, garden screens, air-conditioning and bin enclosures, and gates. Patterns and finishes are chosen at quote.
Screens on existing fences
Laser cut panels added above or in front of an existing fence for extra height or a feature.
Security fencing
Perimeter fencing and gates for warehouses, factories, depots and commercial sites, with the height and style matched to the site's security needs.
Old fence removal
Removing and disposing of the old fence before the new one goes in. Old fibro fences that may contain asbestos must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist first.
Set-out and footings
Setting out the fence line, checking for underground services and concreting posts.
Clean-up
All offcuts, old materials and soil removed, and gardens and lawns along the fence line tidied.
When it's time for a new fence
Most people call us about fencing when:
- An old timber or fibro fence is leaning, rotting or has storm damage
- You need more privacy from the street or a new neighbouring building
- A new garden or landscaping job needs a fence or screen to finish it off
- An industrial or commercial site needs better perimeter security
- Air-conditioning units, bins or services need screening
- You're selling or leasing a property and the fence lets it down
Fencing in Moreton Bay and North Brisbane
Many older homes around the Pine Rivers district still have their original timber paling or fibro fences, and plenty have been damaged or loosened by summer storms. Colorbond is a popular replacement because it doesn't rot, isn't attractive to termites and needs little upkeep in our humid climate.
On industrial estates, from Brendale and Narangba to Geebung and Banyo, security fencing and gates are often part of how a site is run: controlling access for deliveries, protecting stock and equipment, and keeping the public away from vehicles and machinery. We match the fence to how the site actually operates.
In Queensland, the cost of a dividing fence between two properties is generally shared between neighbours under the Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act, so it's worth talking to your neighbour before replacing a boundary fence. Fences over two metres high, and some fences on corner blocks or near the street, can need council or building approval, and we'll flag it if your job might.
How the job works
Site visit and measure
We measure the fence line, check the ground, slope and access, and talk through the style and colour you want.
Written quote
A clear price covering removal of the old fence, materials, gates and installation.
Neighbours and approvals
For boundary fences, you agree the job and cost sharing with your neighbour. We let you know if the fence may need approval.
Installation
We check for underground services, set out the line, concrete the posts and install panels, screens and gates.
Clean-up and handover
Offcuts and old materials go with us, and the fence line is left tidy.
What affects the price
Every fence is quoted after we measure it. The main things that affect the price are:
Length and height
The total length of fencing and how high it needs to be.
Fence type
Colorbond, laser cut screens and security fencing differ a lot in material cost.
Gates
The number and size of pedestrian and vehicle gates, and any hardware or locks.
Ground conditions
Slopes, rock, tree roots and retaining walls along the line all affect installation time.
Old fence removal
Removing and disposing of the existing fence, and whether asbestos removal is needed first.
Tell us the rough length and style you want and we can usually give a ballpark before measuring up.

Fencing & Screens FAQs
What types of fencing do you install?
Colorbond steel fencing and gates, laser cut screens, and security fencing for commercial and industrial sites.
Do you remove the old fence?
Yes. We remove and dispose of old timber and steel fences. Old fibro fences that may contain asbestos must be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist before we start.
Who pays for a dividing fence in Queensland?
Generally, neighbours share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence under the Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act. Talk to your neighbour before the job, and the Queensland Government's dividing fences information explains the process if you can't agree.
Do I need approval for a new fence?
Many standard boundary fences don't need approval, but fences over two metres high and some fences on corner blocks or near the street can. We'll flag it if your fence might, and you can check with your council.
Can laser cut screens be added to an existing fence?
Yes. Laser cut panels can be fitted above or in front of an existing fence for extra height, privacy or a feature, as long as the fence and posts are sound.
Do you install security fencing for industrial sites?
Yes. We install perimeter security fencing and gates for warehouses, factories, depots and commercial sites, and can keep the fence line clear as part of ongoing grounds maintenance.
Do you build pool fences?
No. Pool safety barriers have their own rules and certification, so we don't install them.
How long does a fence installation take?
Most residential Colorbond fences are installed in one to two days once materials arrive, depending on length, ground conditions and gates. Larger commercial jobs are scheduled with you.
