Rural Fencing Brisbane Southside

The timeframe depends on the size of the property, terrain, soil conditions, and the type of fencing. For larger properties like those in Burbank, Chandler, or parts of Rochedale, installing several hundred metres of fencing could take anywhere from a few days to over a week. Properties with steep or uneven terrain, or soils that need reinforced footings, may require additional time for post-setting and bracing.

The right fence depends on the type of animal and how often the area gets used. For horses, post and rail fencing is a popular and safe option, especially in paddocks near hobby farms. Cattle usually need barbed or plain wire with strong timber posts. Goats, being natural escape artists, do better with mesh or electric fencing that runs low to the ground. We tailor the setup based on your animals, block size, and how durable you need the fence to be. For more info you can check out Nutrien Ag Solutions Fencing Handbook.

Yes, we can. Many rural properties in Brisbane Southside feature sloped or undulating ground, especially around Mount Cotton, Mackenzie, and Sheldon. We use techniques like stepped posts, longer end stays, and deeper footings where needed. Soil type plays a role, too. On clay-heavy or floodplain blocks, we take extra care to prevent post movement and keep the fence aligned over time.

Brisbane’s wet and hot summers can take a toll on rural fences if they’re not built or maintained properly. Timber posts should be treated to resist rot, especially in areas where drainage can be poor. After heavy storms, it’s a good idea to check for leaning posts or loose wires. Regular maintenance might include tightening wires, replacing damaged sections, or clearing vegetation along fence lines to stop wear and tear.

Absolutely. We’ve worked on many properties across South Brisbane that still use traditional timber post-and-rail fencing. If you’re in areas like Rochedale South or Ransome, we can replicate or blend in with older fencing so your property keeps its look. We’ll inspect what’s already there and source similar materials for a consistent finish.

Rural gates should be wide enough for machinery or livestock movement and the posts strong enough and set deeply in the ground to be able to cope with the added weight of a heavy gate. In places like Chandler and Burbank, where hobby farms or equestrian centres are common, steel or aluminium farm gates with secure latches are often used. We also install timber gates if you’re going for a more traditional look near your property entrance or around your house. Sliding or swinging options are available depending on your space, and we can help you choose one that fits your layout and fencing type.
