Low front fences and matching gates that keep the view to Bramble Bay, installed by a licensed crew.
Flinders Parade, once Brighton Esplanade, runs along more than 7 km of foreshore parkland shared with Sandgate and Shorncliffe. Homes facing the water want a front fence that marks the boundary and keeps the dog in without blocking the view they paid for. Salt air also means the fence has to be built to last by the bay. Our fencing in Brighton service designs, fabricates and installs low front fences and matching gates. Every quote for fencing in Brighton is written and itemised.
Brighton runs along Bramble Bay to Sandgate, with Deagon and Bracken Ridge inland. Our crews handle fencing in Brighton and along the rest of the foreshore. Have family nearby who need a fence? We can try to schedule fencing in Brighton and their job close together.

Brisbane City Council's heritage register describes the Bramble Bay foreshores as more than 7 km of continuous public parkland, with stepped porphyry sea walls running from Cabbage Tree Creek to Hornibrook Highway Park (BCC heritage register). For homes along that frontage, the view is the point. A tall, solid front fence hides it; a low, open one frames it.
We install low front fences in PVC-coated chain wire and pedestrian gates made to match. Each fence installation Brighton owners book starts with a site measure and a talk about height. Height is the first question in any fencing in Brighton job; finishes for the bay air come next, so fencing in Brighton lasts.
Sureline's own security fencing page lists coastal exposure in Brighton as a Brisbane-specific consideration, and our team plans around it. We use galvanised steel with PVC-coated mesh, cap every post and set footings in concrete that sheds water. With QBCC licence 1016362 and fences built since 1996, Sureline plans fencing in Brighton with the bay air in mind.
A front fence is also part of the home's look. Black plastic-coated mesh fades into the lawn and the water behind it, and green blends with foreshore planting. Path gates are welded in Geebung to the width you need and coated to match the fence. For Art Deco and character frontages, we'll suggest heights and finishes that suit the house. Esplanade home fencing is quoted in writing, and heights are set so fencing in Brighton looks right from both the house and the footpath. Most front fencing Brighton owners choose is low, open sea-view front fencing, built by a licensed fencing contractor who plans for salt.

Licensed contractorBayside owners usually ask for some of the five services below. We plan fencing in Brighton around your outlook and frontage, then build fencing in Brighton with finishes chosen for salt air.
Low front fences mark the boundary and keep pets in without blocking the outlook. We install them in PVC-coated chain wire on galvanised posts, at a height that suits the house and the street. Many owners choose waist height or a little above.
Best for: waterfront homes.
See chain wire fencingA PVC-coated chain wire fence adds a plastic layer over galvanised wire, giving the steel a second shield against salt air. Black suits most homes and fades against the bay; green blends with gardens and foreshore planting. Posts can be finished to match.
Best for: coastal exposure.
See chain wire fencingWe fabricate pedestrian gates to your path's width and finish them to match the fence. Coated hinges and latches slow corrosion, and self-closing hinges help where dogs or children use the front yard. Wider driveway gates can be made too.
Best for: front paths.
See chain wire gatesNear the water, how a fence is installed matters as much as what it's made of. We cap every post, slope the concrete footings to shed water and keep the bottom of the mesh clear of sand and mulch, so fencing near the bay lasts longer.
Best for: esplanade streets.
See chain wire fencingFront fences are often part of a bigger job. We also replace side and rear boundaries, usually in taller PVC-coated chain wire for privacy and pet security, with matching side gates so the whole property is finished the same way.
Best for: whole properties.

Flinders Parade, formerly Brighton Esplanade, follows the Bramble Bay foreshore toward Sandgate. By the mid-1930s the stretch from First Avenue to Twelfth Avenue was lined with cafes, flats and boarding houses. La Vittoria at 412 Flinders Parade, an Art Deco home built in 1938, is locally heritage listed. Copold Creek drains the Brighton Wetlands into the bay between 15th and 16th Avenues. Many homes face straight onto the water. The Ted Smout bridge lands at the suburb's northern end.
Waterfront homes want views, privacy and pet security all at once. Salt spray and sand wear steel and fittings quickly. Character and Art Deco homes need fences that suit their style. Some owners also face overlays near the foreshore, so heights need checking. Wind off the water also puts more load on gates.
A tall front fence spoils the outlook. A poorly finished fence rusts and stains within a few years. A gate that seizes in the salt air soon gets left open.
We recommend low, open front fences in PVC-coated mesh, capped posts and coated hardware, with taller boundaries at the side and rear. That keeps fencing in Brighton suited to the bay. Heights are checked before fencing in Brighton is ordered.

Waterfront owners mention three problems more than any others. Each is fixed as part of fencing in Brighton. Ring to book a front-yard measure for fencing in Brighton.
An earlier owner built a tall or solid front fence for privacy.
The outlook over Bramble Bay, one of the best features of the home, is lost from the front rooms.
Bare galvanised mesh and uncapped posts near the water corrode from the base and inside the pipe.
Rusted fences break, stain paths and look neglected.
Salt air corrodes moving parts, especially on gates facing the water.
A jammed gate won't open, or worse, won't close and lets the dog out.

Get a Free QuoteIt depends on the dog, but many owners find waist height or a little above works for small and medium breeds. Larger or jumping dogs may need more. We'll talk it through during the measure and suggest a height for your fencing in Brighton that balances the view and the dog.
Plastic-coated chain wire over galvanised steel, on capped posts in concrete sloped to shed water. Coated hinges and latches hold up better on the gate. Hose the fence down with fresh water every few months, and always after a big blow, and it will last far longer. Homes a few streets back can often use plain galvanised and save a little.
Council requires building approval once a fence goes above 2 m from natural ground or becomes part of a pool barrier. Overlays may apply near the foreshore, so look up your lot in City Plan. A low front fence will usually sit comfortably under the limit. We'll note heights on the quote.
Yes. We'll suggest a height, colour and gate style that suit the house, such as black mesh with a simple matching gate. For listed or character-area homes, confirm what's permitted before work begins. Black mesh with a simple matching gate often suits Art Deco homes. Low heights also help keep the facade on show from the street.
Yes, under QBCC licence 1016362, which anyone can check on the commission's public register. Sureline has built fences in Brisbane since 1996, and our own security fencing page names coastal exposure in Brighton as something we plan for when quoting fencing in Brighton. The licence number appears on every quote we send.
Yes. Many owners pair a low front fence with taller side and rear boundaries for privacy and pet security, plus a matching side gate. We'll quote each part separately so you can see the cost of the whole job for fencing in Brighton. Doing the whole property at once also keeps the finish consistent.
Work on the Hornibrook bridge began in June 1932, and when it opened it was the longest road viaduct over water in the southern hemisphere, with Art Deco portals by John Beebe. The first Sandgate–Redcliffe bus ran in October 1935. During the Depression, relief workers built a concrete sea wall and shark-proof enclosure on the foreshore. La Vittoria went up on Flinders Parade in 1938, and the Brighton Bowls Club was founded in 1950. Nashville State School and St Kieran's both opened in 1960. Sureline started in Northgate in 1996 and has sent crews from Geebung since 2006 to carry out fencing in Brighton and along the bay.
