Boundary fencing
Timber & Colourbond Fencing
A good boundary fence should give you the privacy, security and finish you need without feeling like an afterthought. Schmick Fencing installs timber paling and GramLine Colourbond fencing across the Redcliffe Peninsula and surrounds, Moreton Bay and Brisbane's outer northern suburbs, with options shaped around the property and the way the space is used.

Timber
Flexible timber fencing
Timber remains a popular choice because it feels natural, adapts to different property styles and can be configured in several ways. It works equally well as a straightforward boundary fence or as a more detailed feature around the home.
Options may include standard paling fencing, butted or lapped configurations, capped fencing, exposed feature posts, timber sleepers where appropriate and matching pedestrian or driveway gates.
Publicly shared Schmick Fencing projects include butted-and-capped pine fencing, lapped-and-capped fencing with exposed posts and timber fencing paired with double gates.
Colourbond
GramLine Colourbond privacy
We use GramLine Colourbond fencing and have worked with the product range for around 20 years. It is a practical choice when privacy, low maintenance and a consistent appearance are priorities.
GramLine Colourbond can suit side and rear boundaries, privacy between neighbouring properties, new homes, matching access gates and fence lines that incorporate an appropriate timber or concrete retaining solution up to three sleepers high.

Timber or Colourbond?
Choose timber if you prefer a natural material, want flexibility in detailing or need a fence that works with a traditional landscape. Choose GramLine Colourbond if a solid privacy screen, consistent finish and lower routine maintenance are higher priorities.
Slope, soil, drainage, existing retaining walls, exposure and access can all influence the recommended construction.
Driveway access
Solar automated or manual sliders
A matching Colourbond slider can keep the driveway line coordinated with the surrounding fence while preserving practical vehicle access.
Depending on the opening, available slide-back room and site conditions, the gate can be planned for manual operation or selected solar automation. We confirm the suitable configuration during the site inspection.
Details
Finished details
The most visible fencing problems often come down to small details: an uneven top line, awkward transitions, gates that look disconnected or posts that do not suit the proportions of the fence.
Our approach is to resolve those details as part of the project, from stepping or raking across a slope to coordinating caps, posts, gates and retaining requirements.
Existing boundaries
Existing boundaries
If you are replacing an older fence, extending a fence line or joining a new section to existing work, photos from both sides are helpful but optional. We confirm changes in level, nearby structures, trees, services and narrow access points during the site inspection.
For shared boundaries, it is sensible to confirm the boundary position and discuss the proposed work with the neighbouring owner before construction.
Frequently asked questions
Questions customers ask before booking fencing work.
Do you install both paling and feature timber fencing?
Yes. Our service range includes paling fencing, with project options such as butted, lapped, capped and exposed-post treatments depending on the site and selected design.
Can a gate match the new fence?
Yes. A matching pedestrian, double or sliding gate can be discussed as part of the overall fence design.
Can you install fencing on a sloping block?
Sloping sites can often be handled through stepped or raked layouts, sometimes together with retaining work.
Does a new fence need approval?
Generally, a non-pool fence up to 2 metres above natural ground level does not need building approval in the City of Moreton Bay, but property-specific controls can still apply.
Who pays for a dividing fence?
Adjoining owners generally share the reasonable cost of a sufficient dividing fence. Neighbours should agree on the proposed work before it starts.
Which Colourbond product do you use?
We use GramLine Colourbond fencing and have worked with the range for around 20 years.
