Chain wire, posts, kits and itemised quotes for Strathpine neighbours sharing the cost of a new boundary fence.
Strathpine is a suburb of family houses, many built during its fast growth from the 1960s to the 1980s. Those boundary fences are now reaching the end of their life, and replacing one usually means agreeing on it with the neighbour. We sell the fencing supplies in Strathpine that owners can split fairly, with an itemised supply quote you can both read. Choose chain wire kits, galvanised posts and gates, then collect your fencing supplies in Strathpine from Geebung or book delivery.

In Strathpine, 82.3% of homes are separate houses and 39.3% are owned with a mortgage (ABS 2021). Almost every one of those houses shares at least one boundary fence. When it falls over or rusts out, two owners have to agree on what replaces it and who pays.
Queensland law usually expects neighbours to share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. We make that easier with an itemised quote both parties can check. Our dividing fence materials include chain wire, galvanised posts and rails and complete kits. Fencing supplies in Strathpine can be quoted to one owner or both. Ask us to quote fencing supplies in Strathpine for a full boundary or one section.
A shared fence goes more smoothly when both owners can see exactly what they're paying for. We quote each item with its quantity and price, so there are no surprises when the bill is split. We have made chain wire fences and gates since 1996, first in Northgate and since 2006 in Geebung, and our team has more than 90 years of combined experience. That's how we keep fencing supplies in Strathpine quotes clear and practical.
We also help you agree on the specification. A chain wire fence is one of the most cost-effective options for a dividing fence, and it lets light and breeze through both yards. If one neighbour wants something extra, such as more height or a gate in the fence, we can price that part separately. The fencing materials Strathpine owners order as kits are cut to the boundary length, which avoids leftover stock that one owner ends up paying for. We sell to home owners and trades over the same counter. Fencing supplies in Strathpine can be collected or delivered across Moreton Bay.
These five lines cover most fencing supplies in Strathpine neighbours need for a shared fence. We'll quote fencing supplies in Strathpine so the cost is easy to divide.
Chain wire fencing kits are cut to the length of your boundary and include mesh, posts, wire and fittings. One kit covers the whole job, and the parts list makes it easy for both neighbours to see what's included. Galvanised and PVC-coated finishes are available.
Best for: full boundaries
Explore DIY fencing kitsOur chain wire supplies Strathpine owners order come in heights from 0.9 m up to 3.6 m. For a dividing fence between houses, 1.2 m to 1.8 m is common. A sufficient fence under Queensland law is between 0.5 m and 1.8 m high, which affects how costs are shared.
Best for: dividing fences
Browse chain wire suppliesAustralian Standard galvanised posts and rails from 32NB to 100NB, cut to length while you wait. Firm, braced end posts keep a long boundary straight. If you're replacing an old fence, check the old footings, as new posts may need fresh holes beside them.
Best for: long runs
See posts, pipe and railsSome neighbours add a gate in the dividing fence for shared access. We make gate frames to size in our workshop, with hinges and latches to suit. Because a gate is usually an extra, we price it on its own line so the owners can agree on how to share it.
Best for: shared access
See gate frames and hardwareFence fittings hold the system together: rail ends, tension bands, brace bands, caps and ties. We supply them in galvanised and PVC-coated finishes to match the mesh. If you're repairing a section rather than replacing the boundary, bring a sample and we'll match it.

7.2 km² suburb area
Wikipedia – Strathpine, Queensland
Strathpine covers about 7.2 square kilometres, about 21 km north of the Brisbane CBD. Gympie Road runs through the suburb, with the North Coast railway line to its west and stations at Strathpine and Bray Park. Lawnton is to the north and Bald Hills to the south-east, with the industrial suburb of Brendale next door. The Strathpine Centre opened in 1983, and council offices remain here.
Queensland Places notes that Strathpine grew from under 2,000 to over 10,000 people within 20 years. Many homes, and their fences, date from that time. Replacing an old boundary fence means agreeing on the type, the height, the cost and who does the work. Old post footings can also get in the way of new holes.
Disagreements about a shared fence can sour things between neighbours. Without a clear quote, one owner may feel they are paying for the other's upgrade. If the matter goes to a formal notice, a quote is required.
We keep it simple and transparent. We quote a standard chain wire fence for the full boundary, with any extras on separate lines. That gives both owners fencing supplies in Strathpine they can agree on. Fencing supplies in Strathpine are cut to the boundary length.

These issues come up most often when Strathpine neighbours replace a shared fence. The right fencing supplies in Strathpine and a clear quote help with each one. Call to talk through fencing supplies in Strathpine for your boundary.
Each neighbour has a different fence in mind, and neither wants to pay for the other's preference.
The old fence stays broken, and the disagreement can turn into a formal dispute.
Start with a sufficient fence that both owners accept, such as a standard chain wire fence. Get an itemised quote for it. If one owner wants extra height, a different finish or a gate, price that separately so they can pay the difference. We'll set out the quote in that format.
One owner wants the cost-sharing in writing before work starts.
Queensland's notice to contribute must include at least one quote, and owners generally have a month to agree before either can apply to the tribunal.
Ask us for an itemised supply quote to support your notice. Check the Queensland Government's dividing fence guidance and the correct form before you serve it. Keep copies of the quote and notice. We can't give legal advice, but we can give you a clear, current price.
Concrete footings from the old fence sit right where the new posts should go.
Digging them out takes time, and new posts set in disturbed ground can lean.
Shift the new post positions slightly along the line so each hole is in firm ground, or cut the old posts off below ground level. Set new posts in fresh concrete and brace the ends. Tell us your post positions and we'll cut the posts to suit.

Between two residential properties, the Act describes a sufficient fence as between 0.5 m and 1.8 m high. The exact type also depends on what's usual in the area and what the fence needs to do. A standard chain wire fence often fits this description. Pool barriers must also meet separate pool safety rules.
Yes. A notice to contribute must include at least one quote for the fencing work. We'll provide an itemised supply quote with quantities and prices. If you plan to hire an installer, include their quote too. Check the correct form on the Queensland Government website before you serve the notice.
Yes. We can show the shared items, then list any extras that only one owner wants on separate lines. That makes it easy to see each person's share. Payment is up to the two of you, and we can invoice whichever owner places the order. It keeps fencing supplies in Strathpine simple for both households.
Fences up to 2 m above natural ground generally don't need building approval in Moreton Bay. Fences over 2 m, fences that form part of a pool barrier, and fences built on a retaining wall that takes the total over 2 m do. Building over or near stormwater drains also needs assessment.
Yes. We deliver across Moreton Bay, including Strathpine. A full boundary kit has long posts and several rolls of mesh, so delivery is often the easier choice. Tell us the address and where we can leave the load. Smaller orders can be collected from Geebung on weekdays from 6 am to 3 pm.
Queensland Railways first named Strathpine in the 1880s, joining "strath", meaning valley, with the Pine River. The northern railway opened in 1888, and Strathpine became the centre of the Pine local government division. The divisional board hall built in 1889 is now heritage listed at 238 Gympie Road. A state school opened in 1911. In the 1940s Australian and American military camps and an airfield were set up nearby. Pine Rivers State High School opened in 1964, and the Strathpine Centre followed in 1983. Sureline Fencing began in Northgate in 1996 and moved to Geebung in 2006. Fencing supplies in Strathpine come up Gympie Road from there.
