Treated pine is a softwood that has been pressure treated to prevent insect attack and rot.

Yes, treated pine is treated with copper sulphate which is a poison. Treated pine is not recommended for childrens playground equipment. See our treated pine information page.

Treated Pine comes in standard heights of 1.5m, 1.8m, and 2.1m (5′, 6′ and 7′), Hardwood is only available in 1.8m heights (6′).

Treated Pine is a softwood and even though it is sufficiently treated for outdoor use it still contains the potential to warp, bend or bow after installation. For this reason we prefer the use of 50mm square steel posts. Hardwood posts are banned for use in ground as they attract insects and rot very quickly.

Treated Pine is a softwood and even though it is sufficiently treated for outdoor use it still contains the potential to warp, bend or bow after installation. For this reason we prefer the use of 50mm square steel posts.

For fence heights between 1.5m and 2.1m, three 75mm x 50mm fence rails should be used to keep the palings straight.

Treated Pine remains its size for many years without shrinking. As it is a softwood it does swell when wet.

Local milled hardwoods are used for timber fencing where the look of hardwood as opposed to treated pine is desired. Hardwood fences ‘grey’ with age whereas treated pine remains a light green colour. Hardwood is used to match existing fencing. Hardwood has been prohibited for posts as they can attract insects and rot quite quickly. Steel posts are used or if a timber look is required hardwood fences can be teamed with treated pine posts.

Lap’n’cap fencing is contructed with two layers of palings overlapped to retain total privacy. The capping provides a neat straight finish to the fence top. Standard palings can shrink causing gaps between the palings.

1.8m is the standard. If both neighbours are in agreement the fence can be constructed higher than 1.8m.

Usually between 1m and 1.2m. Some council areas prohibit front fencing, other areas may build front fences much higher. View the surrounding fencing styles in your street/area and consult your local council if in doubt.

No, in some cases it is not possible to locate a fence exactly on a boundary. This may be due to a cliff face or other natural feature. The dividing fence can be located in a position both neighbours agree to. Both neighbours are still obligated to the maintenance of that fence.

In general ,your neighbour is obligated to pay half of the cost of the maintenance of a dividing fence. Review our section on fence laws for further information.

In general ,no, your fence does not include retaining walls. Review our section on the Dividing Fences Act for further information.

Your neighbour is obliged to pay for half of the maintenance of the existing fence. If the fence is beyond repair your neighbour is obliged to pay half for the replacement of the same type of fence. If you want to change the style or construction of the fence, your neighbours will have to be in agreement but you will have to meet the extra cost.

If you are building a new home (or seriously renovating), and require to replace the fencing you can only do so with council approval or neighbour agreement at your cost.

No, you are not required to have a fence if you do not want one. For more information review our section on fence laws.
