Fencing FAQ

Straight answers to the questions Brisbane homeowners ask us most. Still unsure? Call 0492 984 440.

Who pays for a dividing fence in Queensland?

Under Queensland's dividing fence rules, neighbours generally share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. If you want something more than a sufficient fence, you usually pay the difference. The Queensland Government website explains the process and forms.

Colorbond style steel or timber?

Steel fences resist termites and rot and need little upkeep. Timber looks natural and suits character homes, but needs more care and can be hit by termites. We can quote both.

How long does a new fence take?

Most residential fences take one to three days on site, depending on length, ground conditions and gates.

Do pool fences have rules?

Yes. Queensland has strict pool safety rules covering fence height, gaps, climbable objects and self closing, self latching gates. We build pool fences with those rules in mind.

Can you remove my old fence?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old fence is included in our quotes when needed.

Is Colorbond a brand?

Colorbond is a registered trade mark of BlueScope Steel. We install steel fencing in genuine Colorbond steel and similar products, and confirm the product in your quote.

Do I need a pool safety certificate?

In Queensland, a pool safety certificate is generally needed when you sell or lease a property with a pool. The certificate is issued by a pool safety inspector, not the fence builder.
