Taller rear fences, child-safe side gates and garden enclosures for Wilston's busy family backyards.
More than half of Wilston's families are couples with children, and big houses on sloping blocks give them room to play. That shapes the fencing: a back fence tall enough to keep the cricket ball in, a side gate that small children can't open, and a vegie patch the dog can't dig up. We sell the fencing supplies in Wilston that families use for all three. Order fencing supplies in Wilston for pickup at Geebung or delivery to your door.

Couples with children make up 53.3% of Wilston's families, well above the Queensland figure of 41.2%, and 42.1% of homes have four or more bedrooms (ABS 2021). Large family homes mean busy backyards. Balls fly over low fences, toddlers find the side gate, and the dog finds the tomatoes.
We stock family backyard fencing for each of those jobs. Our fencing materials Wilston families order include ball-stop chain wire for taller rear fences, side gate frames with child-safe latches and garden enclosure parts. Tell us how the yard is used, and we'll suggest fencing supplies in Wilston to suit. Fencing supplies in Wilston can be ready the same day if stocked.
A family yard has to handle a lot: balls, bikes, pets and children who test every latch. Our mesh range goes up to 3.6 m, so a back fence can be raised where the cricket pitch ends, and heavy-duty 3.15 mm mesh stands up to repeated hits. Side gates are welded to your path's width in our Geebung workshop, with latches mounted out of small children's reach. That thoughtfulness comes with fencing supplies in Wilston from Sureline.
Wilston's higher streets climb Eildon Hill, so many yards slope. We cut posts to different lengths so a stepped fence stays level at the top, and we'll explain how to set out a run that follows the ground. Vegie garden enclosures need only a few rolls of light mesh and a small gate, and we can bundle those with the main order. Whatever the job, our delivery across Brisbane's inner north means fencing supplies in Wilston don't need to fit in the family car.
Families here mostly draw on the five lines below. Tell us the yard's layout and we'll put together fencing supplies in Wilston for each job, so the fencing supplies in Wilston you collect cover play, pets and garden.
A taller rear fence keeps cricket and soccer balls out of the neighbours' yard. We supply chain wire in heights up to 3.6 m, with posts long enough to carry it. Ask about the 3.15 mm heavy-duty gauge for the section behind the stumps.

Best for: side paths

Best for: hillside yards

Best for: visible boundaries

1.4 km² on Eildon Hill and Enoggera Creek
Wikipedia – Wilston; Queensland Places
Wilston is a compact interwar suburb of about 1.4 square kilometres, 5 km north of the CBD. Enoggera Creek runs along its southern edge, and the higher slopes of Eildon Hill, shared with Windsor, are among its most sought-after streets. Parks include Hinkler Park and the Wilston Recreation Reserve, and Wilston Village sits on Kedron Brook Road.
Sloping blocks make level fences harder to build. Families need fences that are tall where the play happens and low where the view matters. Character streets may come under Brisbane's traditional building character rules, which can affect front fences. Some lots also run down toward Enoggera Creek.
A low back fence means lost balls and awkward conversations with neighbours. A side gate that small children can open is a real safety risk near the street. A stepped fence built with the wrong post lengths ends up uneven.
We plan each part of the yard separately: taller mesh where balls fly, child-safe hardware at the side gate and light mesh for the garden. Posts are cut for each step on a slope. That keeps fencing supplies in Wilston matched to family life. Front fences on character streets can be checked against City Plan before you order fencing supplies in Wilston.

Wilston parents bring us three backyard problems more than any others. Here's each one alongside the fencing supplies in Wilston that solve it. Phone us to plan fencing supplies in Wilston for your yard.
A standard 1.8 m back fence is too low for backyard cricket or soccer on a sloping block.
Balls land in neighbours' yards and gardens, and kids climb the fence to fetch them.
Raise the section behind the play area with taller chain wire on longer posts, keeping the rest of the boundary lower. Use 3.15 mm mesh where the hits land. Fences over 2 m above natural ground need Council approval, so plan the height first.
Standard latches sit at adult hand height, which a determined toddler can reach.
An open side gate leads straight to the street.
Fit a child-safe latch high on the frame and spring hinges that swing the gate shut. If the frame has dropped, we'll weld a new one to the opening so the latch lines up again. Check it monthly.
Garden beds are open to the rest of the yard.
Plants are dug up, and some garden chemicals can harm pets.
Enclose the beds with light chain wire on short posts and add a small gate for access. Bury the bottom edge a little or run a wire along the base to stop digging. We'll size the parts from your garden's dimensions.

Fences over 2 m above natural ground need Brisbane City Council approval, so many owners stay just under 2 m or apply first before ordering fencing supplies in Wilston.
Mainly its height and how it opens. A latch mounted high, out of small children's reach, and paired with spring hinges that close the gate on their own is far harder for a toddler to defeat. We fit these to side gate frames welded to your path's width. Test it from every open position after fitting.
Yes. Each section stays level at the top and steps down with the ground, so posts at each step need different lengths. Send us the run's length and the fall, and we'll trim the posts to suit. Corner and gate posts get heavier sections. Each post is labelled for its step.
They can. Brisbane's traditional building character rules cover many pre-1947 streets, and changes to front fences may need checking. Look up your address in City Plan and Council's guide to traditional fencing styles before you order a new frontage. Back and side fences are rarely affected. If unsure, ask a town planner.
Usually a few rolls of light chain wire, short posts, line wire, ties and a small gate. Give us the length, width and preferred height, and we'll list the parts. Running a wire along the base helps stop dogs digging under. It's a simple addition to your fencing supplies in Wilston.
