The height of standard timber fences varies from property to property, typically though they come at heights of 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2100mm and 2400mm.
Standard paling (timber) fences are great for boundary separation, as well as offering privacy, where necessary.
The timber palings are effectively ‘butted’ together and fixed from one side of the fence, which makes it impossible to see through unless you’re up close, looking through small expansion cracks.
This is highly suited for families that have children and pets, as well as anyone else that likes the idea of not having their neighbour peering into their property.
A popular trend is to now install treated pine fences on galvanised steel posts. This is often done as there maybe limited space to install the posts in an existing fence line but often it is to increase the longevity of the fence. Good quality steel posts are very durable and don’t warp, twist or split like regular timber posts. They are neat, compact in appearance and cannot be damaged by white ants or termites.
Steel posts often make it far easier to replace you fence in years to come as you often only need to unscrew the old timber and fit the new fence to the old posts. This is a much quicker and cheaper option to digging up the old posts. The combination of treated pine fencing on steel posts is a great option combining the strength of steel with the look of timber and is highly recommended.
Popular as a boundary fence, lap and cap fences provide a lovely combination of strength, security and aesthetics.
Lap and Cap fences are effectively a step up from standard timber fences in both looks and functionality. The overlapping timber palings make the fence completely private and the capping delivers an extra level of strength.
The double layer of palings is also an excellent sound barrier, reducing either traffic or neighbour noise.
Known as Heritage or Federation style fences these are a lapped treated pine fences built to include a panel of lattice at the top of the fence. They provide extra privacy over the height normally allowed under local council fencing height restrictions. They are often constructed up to 2.4 metres high. The size of the materials and posts will vary depending on the design but the paling section is often 1.5 or 1.8 metres high with approximately 300mm of lattice on top

Picket fences are a popular front boundary fence in some areas of Sydney. They are also often used for block offs and returns at the side of a house just to provide a bit of variety or so they can be seen through. The timber is usually a high grade timber that has been dressed to give a smooth finish which is easy to paint if required. There are endless styles and varieties of picket fences that can be constructed and they are a great way to lift the appearance of almost any house.
Colorbond® style fences are a fence constructed completely from steel. The steel base is coated with a galvanised or zinc/aluminium layer to protect the steel from corrosion and then painted and baked to provide a long lasting paint finish. There is a variety of colours to suit almost any home. Each panel is usually 2.4 metres long and consists of 2 “c” channel posts fixed back to back. These are connected by 2 steel rails into which 3 shaped sheets are fitted. The panels are most commonly 1.8 metres high. This is a strong, long lasting fence that provides good privacy and security.
