Timber fencing is often associated with properties of more traditional styles. This however doesn’t always have to be the case. There are many timber fencing options out there that work well with modern properties too. The great thing about timber fencing is that it’s incredibly customisable, making it an easy solution when you’re looking for a modern edge. For example, timber fencing doesn’t always have to have a natural look—consider painting your fence a darker shade to create a more modern aesthetic.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we install timber fencing in a huge range of styles. Some of our top choices for modern properties include lapped, lapped and capped and paling fencing.
If you have a particular idea in mind—just ask. Our timber fencing options are extremely customisable and can be built up to 2.4 metres high.

Is your property due for a new fence? With so many different options available, you might be unsure on which type of fence will be the best fit for your home.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we’ve been installing a huge variety of fencing options for many years now—so we’ve decided to share some of our knowledge with you.
This will usually come down to personal preference, plus the style and age of your property. Have a read of our summary below outlining the benefits of both timber and steel to help you decide.
A timeless choice, a timber fence has long been a favourite fencing option for Australian property owners. We often find that timber fencing is most popular with our client’s who have more traditional styled properties and are looking to further enhance this look. Although very popular with traditional homes, timber is very minimalistic, so it can also blend seamlessly with basically any property—this is what makes is so popular.
Timber is one of the most affordable options on the market. Available in many different styles and sizes, timber fencing is easily customisable, making it a simple solution when it comes to creating both security and privacy.
Another top fencing choice is a steel fence. Steel is very popular because of its extreme durability. Capable of withstanding even the harshest of weather conditions, steel fencing is the perfect addition to any Australian home. A steel fence will improve security and privacy while also adding value to your property.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we only work with the most trusted names in the steel fencing game including Colorbond and PermaSteel. Both these steel fencing products are available in a selection of colour choices, so you’ll be able to find a style to complement the exterior of your home perfectly.
Have we helped you decide between timber and steel fencing? To arrange your obligation-free fencing quote, get in contact with our team of fencing experts today. We supply and install an extensive range of fencing solutions including a variety of affordable and durable timber and steel options.
Keep your timber fence looking great and make sure it lasts for years to come by adopting some basic timber maintenance strategies. Here at Amazing Fencing, we create our timber fences from highly durable materials sourced from trusted suppliers—we also provide a 40-year guarantee with all our fences.
Even with this reassurance, it’s still very important to make sure you take care of your timber fence so it looks great and continues to provide both security and privacy without the need for repairs.
Our timber fencing experts have put together a summary of some of our top tips for maintaining timber fencing, particularly within our Australian climate:
Generally ensuring that your timber fence is kept clean is an easy way to help prevent damage and extend the life of your fence. Quick and effective, giving your fence a hose-down every few weeks will help clear it of any dirt build-up, assuming water restrictions are not in place.
Another maintenance tip for timber fencing it to ensure that all branches, bushes and plants near the fence are trimmed. This is because trees and plants hold moisture and if your timber fence absorbs unnecessary moisture it can age prematurely.
At Amazing Fencing, our timber fencing products are correctly treated before installation. If you have an older timber fence that was installed by another company, it may not have been treated like ours are. By using a timber treatment product on your fence, you’ll help reduce the chance of fungal decay forming and also provide added protection against fading and weathering.
Sealers are also used to help protect the timber fence from absorbing too much moisture. If your fence is not treated correctly, you should consider sealing your timber fence regularly to ensure it’s always protected.
If your timber fence suffers any kind of damage, such as storm damage, be sure to have it repaired as soon as possible to avoid the issue becoming worse over time.
Another thing to be mindful of if the risk of termites. Termites like soil, so try to keep your fence above ground where possible. Remember, it’s better to work to prevent termites than have to deal with exterminating them once they arrive.
For more information on timber fencing maintenance or any other fencing enquiries—be sure to contact the specialists at Amazing Fencing.
If timber fencing isn’t for you, we also install a wide range of steel fencing products including PermaSteel and Colorbond. Give our expert team a call today to arrange your free quote.
Are you renovating a traditional or Federation style property? A new fence is the ideal way to finish off the look and tie everything together.
There are so many different types of fencing styles on the market these days, so it can make things a little difficult when it comes time to deciding which is the best option for your particular property.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we’re the specialists when it comes to finding the best fence to suit our client’s needs, budget and the aesthetic of their property.
Our expert team has decided to put together a simple outline of some of our top fencing choices for older, traditional or Federation style properties:
Naturally beautiful and easily customisable, timber fencing is regularly a popular choice for owners of traditional style homes. There are many different types of timber fencing options available, all offering their own benefits. One of the most popular choices for our clients seeking a colonial look is often the classic white picket fence.
Here at Amazing Fencing, we design and construct a huge variety of different colonial fencing options that are all customisable when it comes to their decorative pickets or post tops. Our colonial fencing options are perfect for bringing an extra touch of elegance to residential and commercial properties.

To ensure that you satisfy the fence requirements in Melbourne, you should first talk to your neighbour informally before putting up the fence. If you and your neighbour can decide together on the style and location of the fence, as well as which fencing contractors you will use, then the fencing works can continue as planned.

On the other hand, if you cannot reach a solution with your neighbour, then you will need to present your neighbour with a fencing notice. This is a formal document, which outlines the proposed construction or repair works required. Your neighbour then will have 30 days to respond to the notice, otherwise, you can go ahead and call your fencing contractors to begin the project as soon as the 30 day period has lapsed.

Typically, the owners of the adjoining properties that the fence will divide should pay an equal share towards the cost of the fence. However, if one of the two parties would like to have a more expensive fence than what is necessary, they should pay the difference. For example, they may want to use different materials, colours or a more high-spec fence profile than the basic fence that would be required to divide the two properties. In this instance, the neighbour who wants the higher quality fence will need to pay the difference in costs.

When determining what the minimum requirements are for a dividing fence, there are a number of different elements that need to be taken into consideration. These are determined on a case-by-case basis. For example. In a residential area, a 1.8-metre high timber paling fence might be required, while in a more rural setting, a simple wire fence might be enough.

Building a fence on your property is something that you want to do right the first time around. The last thing that you want is to hire fencing contractors to build your fence, only to discover that is not a ‘legal fence’ and you have to start the build all over again. Reputable fencing contractors will be able to give you the most up-to-date advice on Melbourne fencing and let you know whether your fence meets the fence requirements in Melbourne prior to building.
