Chain wire, posts and gate frames for Gaythorne owners replacing old fibro fences, once the old sheets are safely gone.
Gaythorne was home to the Wunderlich fibro factory for decades, and fibro sheeting turns up in old fences across Brisbane's north-west. Many of those fences are cracked and leaning, and sheeting made before 1990 may contain asbestos. That means the old fence should be tested and removed properly before anything new goes in. Once the boundary is clear, we sell the fencing supplies in Gaythorne that owners use to replace it: chain wire, galvanised posts and gate frames. Collect fencing supplies in Gaythorne from Geebung or book delivery.

Queensland Places records that the Wunderlich factory in Gaythorne closed in 1983, and that in 2014 Queensland Health linked mesothelioma cases to people who lived near it (Queensland Places). Old fibro fences need care before they come down. Breaking or cutting sheeting that contains asbestos can release fibres, so testing and licensed removal come first.
After that, asbestos fence replacement is straightforward. Our fencing materials Gaythorne owners order include chain wire mesh, galvanised posts and rails and side gate frames. Measure the cleared boundary, and we'll list fencing supplies in Gaythorne to match. Fencing supplies in Gaythorne can be ready for when your removalist finishes.
We don't remove fibro fences, and we'll always point you to a licensed removalist if your old fence might contain asbestos. What we do is make the next step easy. Chain wire goes up quickly on new posts, costs far less than solid fencing and lets light into small yards. That's why many owners choosing a replacement buy fencing supplies in Gaythorne from us.
We can also advise on the details that trip people up after removal. Old post holes are often filled with concrete and fibro fragments, so have your removalist deal with the old footings and issue a clearance certificate before any new holes are dug. Unit block boundary fencing for body corporates is quoted by section, so costs can be shared. Side gate frames are welded to each opening, and black PVC-coated chain wire gives a cleaner look than bare galvanised. Our delivery across Brisbane's north-west brings fencing supplies in Gaythorne to the cleared site without you needing a trailer.
Once an old fence is gone, owners here mostly order from the five lines below. Give us the boundary length and gate openings, and we'll put together fencing supplies in Gaythorne for the full run, so fencing supplies in Gaythorne arrive as one complete order.
Chain wire is the most affordable way to replace a long boundary. It comes in plain galvanised or green or black PVC coating, in heights for any yard. It lets light and air through small yards and can be screened with planting if you want privacy.

Wikipedia – Gaythorne, Queensland
Gaythorne is a small suburb of about 1.1 square kilometres on the slopes of Enoggera Hill, with Kedron Brook to the north and the military camp to the south-west. It grew from estates sold between 1919 and 1924, and its Queenslanders and interwar cottages now sit beside blocks of units. The Wunderlich factory on Bellevue Avenue made fibro products until 1983, and its gates on Prospect Road are heritage listed. More than half are now rented.
Fibro was a common fencing material across Brisbane for decades, and old sheeting may contain asbestos. Many Gaythorne homes are rented or in unit blocks, so replacement decisions involve landlords and body corporates. Old footings left after removal can get in the way of new posts. Small lots leave little room to work.
Breaking or cutting asbestos sheeting can release fibres that are harmful to breathe. Unclear costs stall body corporate approvals. A boundary left open after removal leaves pets and property exposed.
We recommend testing and licensed removal first, then a fast replacement in chain wire on new galvanised posts. That keeps fencing supplies in Gaythorne simple once the old fence is gone. Quotes split by section help body corporates share fencing supplies in Gaythorne costs.

Owners and strata managers replacing old fences here face three common snags. Each is listed below with the fencing supplies in Gaythorne that help. Ring us to plan fencing supplies in Gaythorne for your boundary.
Decades-old fibro sheeting becomes brittle, and its posts rot or rust at the base.
A failing fibro fence may contain asbestos and shouldn't be broken up or cut by hand.
Have the sheeting tested, and if asbestos is present, use a licensed removalist. Once the boundary is clear, replace it with chain wire on new galvanised posts. We'll have the fencing supplies ready for when the removal is done.
Concrete footings from the old fence remain where the new posts should go.
Digging them out is hard work and may disturb fibro fragments around them.
Have your removalist deal with the old footings and issue a clearance certificate before any new holes are dug. Once the ground is cleared, new posts can be set out to suit, and we'll cut them to the new layout.
Quotes for unit block fencing often arrive as a single figure with no breakdown.
Without detail, the committee can't approve the work, and the old fence stays up.
Ask us for a quote split by boundary section and gate. Owners can see exactly what each part costs and approve it in stages if needed. We can also price black coated mesh and plain galvanised side by side.

Gaythorne takes its name from Howard Bliss's property. The Presbyterian church on Pickering Street was built in 1915, and in 1916 the Rifle Range railway station opened, along with its station master's house. Rangeview Estate was sold in 1919, the station was renamed Gaythorne in 1923, and Bellevue Park Estate followed in 1924. The Wunderlich factory operated on Bellevue Avenue until 1983, and the Civic theatre ran from 1937 into the 1960s. Gaythorne became a separate suburb from Enoggera around 2000. Sureline started in Northgate in 1996, and fencing supplies in Gaythorne now come from Geebung.
