Boundary fences, courtyard gates and bin enclosures for Lawnton's townhouse complexes, staged so residents stay secure.
A quarter of Lawnton's homes are townhouses or terraces, and many of those complexes are reaching the age where the original fencing needs replacing. That work is rarely simple. It needs a committee decision, a clear quote, notices to owners and a plan that keeps every courtyard secure while the job is underway. Our body corporate fencing Lawnton service is built around that process, and staged fence works are part of every quote. We measure the whole complex, fabricate the gates in Geebung and stage fencing in Lawnton so courtyards are closed again the same day wherever possible. Quotes for fencing in Lawnton are free.
Lawnton sits in the Pine Rivers district, north of our Geebung base along Gympie Road. Our crews also install chain wire fencing Pine Rivers complexes rely on, across the suburbs below. If your strata manager looks after more than one complex, ask us to quote fencing in Lawnton and the others as one program, so fencing in Lawnton can be scheduled with them.

Lawnton's population grew from 385 in 1954 to 4,369 by 1986, and housing has kept growing since (Queensland Places). Fences built in the same year tend to fail in the same few years. When they do, a body corporate faces one large project rather than a string of small repairs.
Townhouse complex fencing is our focus here. We install chain wire fencing, courtyard gates and bin enclosure fencing for townhouse complexes. Strata managers get an itemised quote for fencing in Lawnton that can go straight to the committee. We stage fencing in Lawnton so residents keep secure courtyards throughout.
Every fence installation Lawnton complexes book needs clear paperwork and careful scheduling as much as good fencing. We have installed residential and commercial fencing since 1996 and hold QBCC licence 1016362. As a strata fencing contractor, we quote by section, so the committee can see the cost of each boundary, each courtyard and each gate. Gates are fabricated in our Geebung workshop, so every courtyard gate in the complex matches. That is why managers come to us for fencing in Lawnton.
We plan the job with the residents in mind. Before work starts, we agree a staging plan with the strata manager, so notices can go out and owners know when their section will be done. We replace one section at a time and close each courtyard the same day where possible, so pets and children stay contained. Our team has more than 90 years of combined experience. When the work is finished, we walk the complex with the manager and check every gate, so fencing in Lawnton is handed over complete.

Licence 1016362Strata managers in Lawnton mostly ask us for these five jobs. Any one can stand alone as fencing in Lawnton, or the committee can approve several as a single program of fencing in Lawnton.
Common property fencing runs along the outer boundary and driveways of a complex. We replace it with new posts set in concrete and mechanically tensioned chain wire, galvanised or PVC-coated in black or green. One consistent finish gives the whole complex a tidy look.
Best for: outer boundaries
See chain wire fencingCourtyard gates are the most used part of a townhouse fence. We fabricate them to a single design across the complex, fitted with hinges and latches that suit daily use. Self-closing hinges help where residents have pets or small children.
Best for: individual units
See chain wire gatesStrata fence replacement covers internal fences between courtyards as well as the outer boundary. We stage the work section by section, coordinate access with residents and close each section before moving on. The strata manager receives updates as each stage is completed.
Best for: ageing complexes
See chain wire fencingBin enclosure fencing keeps a complex's bins out of sight and contained. We build enclosures from chain wire or welded mesh with a gate wide enough for wheelie bins and bulk bins. A lockable latch stops outside dumping. Posts are set in concrete for a firm frame.
Best for: shared bin areas
See commercial fencingNot every complex needs a full replacement. We repair damaged sections, reset leaning posts, re-tension slack mesh and replace individual gates. We'll give the committee an honest view of whether repairs or a staged replacement offer better value. We itemise every repair for approval.
Best for: maintenance budgets

Lawnton sits between the North and South Pine Rivers in the Pine Rivers district, with Gympie Road running through its centre. The Pine Rivers showground, pool and community hall are here, along with the One Mile Country Club golf course and Stephen Lawn Park. Three-bedroom homes are the most common size.
With most residents working full-time, complexes are often empty during the day, but courtyards still hold pets. Fence work has to be staged so no yard is left open. Committees need clear costs to approve the spend. Soft ground near the rivers and creeks can also make posts lean over time. Residents also need notice before work starts outside their unit.
An open courtyard during works can let a pet escape or a stranger in. Unclear quotes stall committee approval and leave failing fences in place for another year. Leaning boundary posts drag the mesh down with them. Delays also add to the final cost.
We quote by section, agree a staging plan with the strata manager and close each section the same day where possible. Posts are set deeper on soft ground. That keeps fencing in Lawnton manageable for committees. A final walk-through means fencing in Lawnton is complete at handover.

These three problems land on strata managers' desks more than any others. Here's how we fix each one as part of fencing in Lawnton. Call to book a measure of fencing in Lawnton across your complex.
Over the years, owners have replaced gates one at a time with whatever was available.
The complex looks patchy, and some gates no longer lock or close properly.
We design one courtyard gate to suit the complex and fabricate it for every unit, or for those that need replacing. Matching hinges and latches make the gates easier to maintain. The committee can stage the rollout if budget is tight.
Quotes arrive as a single lump sum with no breakdown by section or gate.
Committees can't see what they are paying for, and decisions are delayed.
We provide an itemised quote listing each boundary, internal fence, gate and bin enclosure. That makes it easy to compare, stage the work across budgets or put separate items to a vote. Prices stay valid for the period shown.
Posts set too shallow in soft ground have shifted over years of wet seasons.
Leaning posts pull the mesh slack, leaving gaps where pets and people can get through.
We replace the posts with new ones in deeper concrete footings, add bracing at ends and corners and re-hang the mesh with mechanical tensioning. Work is staged so the complex stays fenced throughout.

Get a Free QuoteYes. We measure the full complex and provide an itemised quote by boundary, internal fence, courtyard gate and bin enclosure. That makes it easy for a committee to approve the full project or stage it across budgets. We'll send the quote to the strata manager in the format your committee needs for fencing in Lawnton.
We stage the job and take down only what we can replace in the same session where possible, so courtyards are closed again by the end of the day. The strata manager can notify owners of the schedule in advance. If a section can't be closed the same day, we agree a temporary solution first.
It depends on the complex's by-laws and community management statement and survey plan. Some fences are common property, and others belong to individual lots. Check with your strata manager before ordering. We can quote common property and lot fences separately so costs can be allocated correctly. That keeps fencing in Lawnton fair for every owner.
Yes. We fabricate courtyard gates to one design in our Geebung workshop, so every gate in the complex looks the same and uses the same hinges and latches. Owners can replace their gate later and still match, as we keep the design on record. We can also supply spare hardware.
Yes. We build bin enclosures from chain wire or welded mesh, with a gate wide enough for wheelie bins or bulk bins and a lockable latch. Enclosures keep bins tidy and stop outsiders dumping rubbish. We'll size the enclosure to the number of bins your complex uses. Roofs and screening can be discussed.
Fences up to 2 m above natural ground generally don't need building approval in Moreton Bay, but taller fences and pool fences do. Your complex may also have by-laws on fence style and colour. Check with your strata manager, and we'll match the new fencing to any requirements. We'll confirm heights on the quote.
Lawnton Cemetery was established in the 1880s on land donated by Carl Leis. Lady Musgrave laid the foundation stone of St Thomas' Anglican Church in August 1888, and the church was later moved to Old Petrie Town. The Acclimatisation Society moved to the North Pine River in 1905. In 1942 a US fighter squadron was based at nearby Petrie Airfield. By 1973 the state school had 600 students, and Pine Rivers Special School opened in 1986. Sureline Fencing began in Northgate in 1996 and moved to Geebung in 2006. It's a short run up Gympie Road for our crews when we build fencing in Lawnton.
