Flood-tolerant chain wire, made-to-measure steel gates and storm repairs for Kedron houses, flats and rentals, from a Geebung workshop down the road.
Kedron Brook runs right through the suburb, and in February 2022 it ripped up sections of the bikeway beside it. That flood shapes how we approach fencing in Kedron. Yards on low ground need a fence that water can flow through, sitting on posts that hold. Sureline Fencing has built mesh fences and steel gates since 1996. We're a fence contractor Kedron residents can have on site quickly, and the measure and quote cost nothing. Call us to plan your fencing in Kedron.
Beyond fencing in Kedron, our crews also cover the streets off Gympie Road, Lutwyche Road and along Kedron Brook in the neighbouring suburbs. Live just past the line? Fencing in Kedron and in each suburb below comes with the same free site visit and written price.

Kedron mixes interwar and early post-war houses with blocks of flats, which now account for close to a third of dwellings. Kedron Brook cuts across the middle of it all. That gives fencing in Kedron two jobs: coping with heavy rain on low ground, and standing up to constant use at shared unit sites.
Open chain wire fencing handles both. Water and debris pass through the mesh, and one damaged bay comes out without disturbing its neighbours. Our Geebung outlet also holds fencing supplies in Kedron customers can collect, which helps fencing in Kedron get back up soon after a storm.
A fence beside a creek line takes a different kind of beating. After a big downpour we find leaning posts, mesh packed with branches and gates jammed shut. Fencing in Kedron needs footings set for soft, wet soil, and a crew willing to come back and fix one bay without fuss.
Sureline opened in Northgate in 1996 and shifted to bigger premises in Geebung ten years later to grow the workshop. Because we fabricate gates and many components ourselves, storm damage repairs don't stall waiting on a supplier. The team carries over 90 years of experience between them, and we happily take on a single bent post or a sagging gate. Every price for fencing in Kedron arrives as a free written quote.
Open mesh lets floodwater and debris move through instead of pushing the fence over.

Three finishesMost calls for fencing in Kedron fall into one of the five jobs below, from creek-side backyards to shared unit boundaries. Before pricing fencing in Kedron, we check drainage, access and how the fence gets used day to day.
For creek-side fencing, open mesh is the practical choice. Water flows through chain wire, so it doesn't act like a dam the way a solid fence can. We concrete each post with a footing sized to the ground and run a tension wire along the base. Chain wire fencing Kedron owners choose comes galvanised, black or PVC-coated.
Best for: low backyards, drainage lines and houses near the brook
Read about chain wire optionsA flood damaged fence usually shows the same signs: posts leaning downstream, mesh bellied out and debris caught along the line. We clear the run, reset or replace posts, re-tension or swap the mesh and rehang gates. Fence repairs Kedron customers book after storms are quoted in writing, which helps with insurance claims.
Best for: owners, landlords and body corporates after heavy rain
How our repair service worksClose to a third of Kedron homes are flats, and many are rented. Unit block fencing gets heavy daily use from residents, visitors and bin runs. We fence common property boundaries, bin areas and car parks, and add security fencing where a site needs it. Gates close properly, and sections can be repaired one at a time.
Best for: body corporates, landlords and property managers
Commercial and strata fencingInterwar and post-war homes often have narrow side paths and older driveways. We build steel-framed pedestrian and driveway gates to the measured opening, including frames that take timber palings to match an existing fence. Sliding gates suit driveways where a swing gate would hit a car or a slope.
Best for: family homes and duplexes
View pedestrian and driveway gatesOwners who like doing it themselves can pick up mesh, posts, rails, fittings and complete kits at our Geebung outlet. We can usually have chain wire kits made to order inside 48 hours. That suits a short run lost in a storm, or a boundary fence replacement you want to build yourself with tips from the people who install it.
Best for: handy owners and tradies

Kedron takes its name from Kedron Brook, named by German missionaries in 1838. The suburb grew from farm lots along the brook, then filled with interwar estates in the 1920s and early post-war homes. Today 9,907 people (ABS 2021) call it home, spread across houses, townhouses and flats.
In February 2022, Kedron Brook destroyed sections of the Kedron Brook Bikeway, which runs through Kedron between Mitchelton and Toombul. Heavy rain like that softens soil, loosens footings and drives debris into any fence in its path. Older houses also carry decades of patched boundaries, and busy unit blocks wear out gates fast.
A fence that blocks water can be pushed over, and a leaning post weakens every bay next to it. At a unit block, one broken gate affects every resident and can breach a tenancy or strata duty.
On low ground, fencing in Kedron gets open mesh, deeper concrete footings and bracing at corners and gates. At unit sites, we place gates to suit bins and parking. After a storm we inspect first and price second, so fencing in Kedron gets fixed once. If you'd sooner tackle a short run yourself, collect the fencing supplies Kedron jobs call for from our Geebung counter and ask our installers anything.

Water, wear and age cause most of the trouble we see with fencing in Kedron. A short site visit tells us whether your fencing in Kedron can be repaired or should be rebuilt.
Floodwater pushes against mesh clogged with leaves and branches, while saturated soil lets shallow footings rotate.
One leaning post pulls on its neighbours, so the lean spreads along the run and gaps open under the mesh.
We clear the debris, dig out failed footings and reset posts in fresh concrete, deeper where the ground stays soft. We then re-tension the mesh and brace the ends. Signs to watch for: cracked concrete at the post base, a wavy top rail and mesh pulled tight on one side.
Shared gates open dozens of times a day. Hinges wear, latches loosen and posts shift until the gate drops out of square.
Left ajar, the gate invites strangers, stray dogs and wind-blown bins in, and residents lose confidence in the complex.
We start at the hinge post, then rehang the gate with fresh hinges and a heavier latch, or fabricate a replacement steel gate in Geebung. Custom gates can be ready in 48 hours.
Many interwar and post-war boundaries have been patched for decades with mixed materials, so they fail in stages.
Queensland's dividing fence law generally splits the cost of a sufficient fence evenly between adjoining owners, so both sides need to agree on a plan.
We measure the line, remove the old fence and provide a written quote to show next door, then install one consistent run.

Get a Free QuoteOpen fencing usually works best. Chain wire or weld mesh lets water and debris pass through, so there's less force on the posts in heavy rain. Solid fences can trap water and get pushed over. For fencing in Kedron on low ground, we also set posts deeper in concrete and brace the corners. We walk the yard with you and watch where water runs before recommending a design.
Yes. We reset or replace posts, clear debris, replace bent mesh and rehang gates. If only a few bays are damaged, we repair those sections and leave the rest. We give you a written quote that lists the damage and the work needed, which you can pass to your insurer. Parts come from our Geebung workshop, so a repair isn't held up by a supplier's backlog.
Yes. We work with body corporates, landlords and property managers on common property fences, bin enclosures, car park boundaries and entry gates. We can arrange access with residents or tenants and send the quote straight to the manager. Galvanised or black chain wire is easy to repair in sections, which keeps ongoing costs down for shared sites.
A small, even clearance under the mesh can help debris wash through, but it has to suit what the fence is for. Pets and small children need the mesh close to the ground, with a tension wire or bottom rail. On a pool boundary, the barrier rules cap the gap underneath at 100 mm. We'll balance drainage against containment at the measure and explain the trade-off.
Price comes down to length, height, mesh, coating, gates, the ground and any old fence that has to go. Soft ground near the brook can call for deeper footings, which adds some work. Our free site visit ends in an itemised written price, so each option is easy to weigh up. If you're comparing contractors, make sure every quote covers the same height, finish and gate count.
That depends on the job size and our schedule at the time. Geebung is only a few minutes' drive from Kedron, so booking a measure is rarely a problem, and custom gates can be ready in 48 hours. After a storm, ring (07) 3865 8100 and describe the damage. You'll get an honest start date, and we'll make an unsafe fence secure first where needed.
German Moravian missionaries named Kedron Brook in 1838, after the Kidron valley in the Bible. Farm lots were surveyed along the brook in 1856, and Queensland's first judge, Alfred Lutwyche, built Kedron Lodge nearby. Gympie Road grew after the 1868 Gympie gold rush, and tanneries, including Kedron Tannery in 1887, worked along the water. Pony racing at Kedron Park ended in 1931, and the racecourse site was resumed for education in 1955. Kedron Shire joined Greater Brisbane in 1925. Today we handle fencing in Kedron out of our Geebung workshop.
