FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of timber fencing?
Timber fencing offers a natural look that blends well with most home styles and landscapes. It provides solid privacy, can be customised in height and design, and is often more flexible to work with than metal or PVC alternatives. Timber fences are easy to repair and can be painted or stained to suit your preferences. When maintained properly, timber fencing adds value and character to your property while offering practical protection and boundary definition.
How do I maintain a timber fence?
Timber fences should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt, mould, and debris. Applying a protective sealant or stain every few years helps prevent weather damage and extends the fence’s lifespan. It’s important to check for signs of rot, loose nails, or warping and address any issues early. Keeping plants and soil away from the base of the fence can also reduce moisture exposure. With proper care, a timber fence can last for many years.
Is timber fencing a good choice in coastal areas?
Timber fencing can work well in coastal areas if the right timber and treatments are used. Hardwood or treated pine is often recommended due to its resistance to moisture and insects. Regular sealing and maintenance are especially important in salty, humid environments to prevent decay. While timber may require more upkeep near the coast, many homeowners still choose it for its aesthetic appeal, versatility, and ability to complement coastal-style homes and gardens.
