Fencing in Melbourne
Professional fencing across Melbourne & surrounds
Melbourne weather is hard on timber fences — leaning posts, rotten palings, and sagging gates are common after a wet winter or a run of hot summers. We repair what can be saved and replace what can't, so you are not paying for a full rebuild when a section fix will do.
New timber fencing and boundary fencing is set out to the agreed line, with posts plumbed and packed properly. Gates are hung to swing clear and latch cleanly — not left dragging on the path.
If you are unsure whether you need a repair or a replacement, send photos of the posts, palings, and any lean. We will quote the honest option and explain what will last.
Our approach
How we work this job
Inspect posts and line
We check posts, rails, palings, and the boundary line so the quote matches what actually needs replacing.
Repair or rebuild the run
Sound sections are repaired. Failed posts and tired runs are replaced and set true.
Hang gates and tidy the line
Gates are hung, latched, and tested. Offcuts and old palings are cleared from the site.

FAQs
Common questions
Can you repair a leaning fence or do I need a full replacement?
Often a section or a few posts can be reset. If the rails and palings are also gone, a replacement run is the better value. We'll tell you which after we look at it.
Do you install gates as well as fencing?
Yes. Pedestrian and vehicle timber gates, including hardware, latches, and alignment to the fence line.
Do I need to sort the boundary with my neighbour first?
If it is a shared boundary fence, yes — agree the line and cost split before we start. We don't handle legal boundary disputes.
