Top Wood Fencing related questions
Sure, for as long as you have the materials, tools, and skills. You should also know precisely how to put up a wood fence that complies with state laws and your council’s regulations. If you are unsure how to build a proper fence, don’t risk the hassle of fines and penalties should your wood fencing fail to comply - hire an expert on our platform instead.
That depends on the wood and if the fence had a protective sealant applied. The most durable woods for wood fencing are spruce, cedar, and pine. You may be surprised to discover that untreated cedar can last from 15 to 30 years, and 40 years if treated. Pine can last ten years untreated, and 20 years with sealant. Spruce is the least durable, lasting only five years without sealant but can last for as long as 20 years if treated.Â
Yes, it’s possible to have fences that don’t need holes to drive posts into, and these are called free-standing fences. Most free-standing fences are prefabricated and made of less durable materials like PVC. While the effort of assembly and placement are minimal, they’re often too low to provide any security or privacy. You should also check with your state’s laws and council rules if they allow free-standing fences.Â
A good fence that provides security, privacy and looks modern can add 10 to 20% to your property’s value - this is regardless of the material used to make the fence. If you plan to put your property on the market, remember that a home with a fence appeals most to families and pet owners. A poorly designed or poorly-made fence can’t harm your property’s value, but it adds no value either.Â
That depends on your budget, the maintenance you’re willing to do and your personal preference. Staining the panels and posts of your wood fence shows off the wood grain, whereas paint dramatically changes how a fence looks. Staining is easier since you can always add more staining to the wood, while paint requires sanding off the old paint before applying a fresh coat. Â
You can protect your wood fencing against termites with an oil-based stain or apply an oil-based primer followed by a termite-resistant paint. Some maintenance around your backyard is necessary; remove any old, rotten stumps close to your fence and store firewood a few metres away from your fence. You should also clear away any sources of moisture and inspect each section of your fence regularly for termites.Â

What do wood fencing services include?
Wood fencing services include all the activities necessary to install a timber fence on your property. Your hired wood fencing builder can ensure that it is functional, aesthetically pleasing and complies with rules and regulations on fencing. This service can include taking the necessary measurements, procuring materials to put up the fence, assembling the fence and applying finishing touches.Â
Taking measurements
Your wood fence installation begins by discussing the size and location of your wood fence with your hired Tasker. After you specify your needs and where you want the wood fence, your hired wood fence builder takes all the necessary measurements. They can place your wood fence anywhere on your property, as long as its placement complies with rules set by your state and your local council. Â Â
Procuring materials for wood fencing
Upon request, some Taskers can get all the needed materials for constructing and installing your timber fence, from the type of wood fence panels you need to the sealants needed for the job. They can put up a fence in the style you want and get all the posts, timber frame and timber panels.Â
Your hired Tasker can also cut any parts of the timber fence down to size if necessary. If your hired builder has to cut timber on-site, you may want to hire a separate service to clean up. Â
Installing the posts and assembling the panels
Your hired builder can dig holes in your backyard to install the posts for the wood fence. They can ensure that the holes are deep enough and are uniform in depth before burying the posts. Before burying the posts, your Tasker can ensure that the posts are level and of equal length. Once they're placed in the holes, they apply a partial filling of concrete to each hole
Assembling and attaching the panel sections
Your Tasker can assemble sections of wood panels as the concrete dries. They can ensure that each panel is cut uniformly and at the right length, then assemble the panels into sections. Once the concrete is dry, your Tasker attaches fasteners on the top and bottom of each post. They then attach each panel section to the posts.Â
Finishing touches
Your Tasker can install fascia boards on the outer sections of the wood fence and caps on each post. Upon request, some Taskers can apply a protective sealant to prevent moisture damage and repel pests.Â
You can also hire a separate service to paint your newly installed fence in a colour that matches your home. While you’re upgrading your backyard, why not get someone to beautify what’s behind your wood fence as well?Â

Four Separate Fence Quote Options – Colourbond & Timber – Chatswood
$100
Chatswood NSW 2067, Australia
7th Sep 2026
I’m looking for an experienced fencing contractor to provide two separate, written and itemised quotes for a new boundary fence at my property in Chatswood. Property / fencing details: * Location: Chatswood, NSW * The left and right side boundaries are approximately 44 metres each, approximately 88 metres in total. * The left and right sides are shared with two different neighbours. * I therefore require two separate quotes – one for the left boundary and one for the right boundary. * Fence height: 1.8 metres for both sides. * There is currently only a partial existing fence. Some sections have no fence at all. * The existing fence will need to be removed and disposed of, and new fencing installed where required. I would like to compare two types of fencing: Option 1 – 1.8m Colourbond steel fence Option 2 – 1.8m timber fence Please provide the following four prices: 1. Left boundary – approximately 44m – 1.8m Colourbond 2. Left boundary – approximately 44m – 1.8m timber 3. Right boundary – approximately 44m – 1.8m Colourbond 4. Right boundary – approximately 44m – 1.8m timber At this stage, I am looking for a site inspection and written quotes only. I need the quotes so I can issue a Fencing Notice to each of the two neighbouring owners before proceeding with the work. Please include in each quote: * Removal and disposal of the existing fence * Supply of all fencing materials * Posts and concrete footings * Labour and installation * Installation of new fencing where there is currently no fence * Any other associated costs * GST, if applicable Please let me know your availability to inspect the property and prepare the quotes.

Need timber fence toppers or slats of wood to raise one side of fence
$550
North Bondi NSW 2026, Australia
7th Sep 2026
We need one side of our fence to be higher so that the dog does not jump over. Probably 50-60cm higher. The fence is timber and 12.8M long, supported using 5 posts with spacing 187cm, 318cm, 253cm, 265cm and 260cm. Need something like this: https://latticefactory.com.au/product/2400mm-x-580mm-treated-pine-horizontal-fence-extensions/ or this: https://www.demak.com.au/shop/timber/timber-lattice-trellis/pool-safe-compliant-lattice-fence-extensions-2400mm-x-500mm-melbourne-only/ But neither of those will deliver to Sydney in time. Bunnings looks sold out. So you would need to procure wood or something similar and install. First photo shows that part of the fence already has a higher section with three slats. But that only covers half the fence, we need to extend that across the full fence. Job needs to be done by the time our new adopted dog arrives on Sunday.
