Chain wire boundaries, animal enclosures and driveway gates for family homes on Brisbane's northern edge, built and installed from our Geebung workshop.
Bald Hills is Brisbane's northernmost suburb, and most homes here are family houses on generous blocks. That means long side runs, backyards with room for dogs and chooks, and driveways that need a proper gate. We have been building chain wire fences and steel gates since 1996. We make the gates ourselves, measure every job on site and put the quote in writing, free. If you need fencing in Bald Hills for a new pup, a chook run or a full boundary, call a fence contractor Bald Hills families have used for years. Call us and we'll come out to look at fencing in Bald Hills.
We also work across the suburbs just south of Bald Hills, along Gympie Road and the rail line. The same free measure we offer for fencing in Bald Hills applies in each. If you are near the edge of fencing in Bald Hills, check the neighbouring suburb pages below.

Nearly every dwelling in Bald Hills is a separate house, and the average home has 3.4 bedrooms. Families here use the whole yard. So fencing in Bald Hills often has two jobs at once: hold the outside boundary and split the yard inside it. A dog run keeps the lawn intact. A chook pen keeps birds safe at night. A driveway gate stops the kids and the dog reaching the street.
We build all of these in chain wire, with steel gates made to measure in Geebung. Owners who like to do it themselves can pick up fencing supplies in Bald Hills from our outlet. It is practical fencing in Bald Hills for yards that work hard.
A suburb of 12.9 square kilometres gives you blocks with long fence lines. Many streets were laid out after the Richmond Heights estate opened in 1959, so plenty of original side fences are now well past their best. Out west, the land drops to the Bald Hills Flats floodplain, still used for cattle grazing, and some yards back onto that open, semi-rural edge. Good fencing in Bald Hills has to hold a long straight line and keep animals where they belong.
We make our own gates and fence components in Geebung, so a chain wire run or a double driveway gate is built to your measurements. Our crew has more than 90 years of combined experience, and we happily take on the short enclosure or single gate that bigger outfits skip.

Australian standardsThese are the jobs that make up most of our fencing in Bald Hills. Each is measured on site, because fencing in Bald Hills on a wide suburban block rarely matches a standard kit length.
Good dog fencing needs mesh that reaches the ground and a gate that shuts every time. Good chook pen fencing needs a tight enclosure with no gaps at the base. We build backyard enclosures in chain wire with a bottom rail or tension wire, set out to suit the space you have, and add a walk-in gate so feeding and cleaning stay easy.
Best for: families with dogs, chooks and other backyard animals
How we build chain wire enclosuresWide blocks mean long side boundary fencing, and long runs show every weak post. We replace old side and rear fences in galvanised or black chain wire, set posts in concrete and brace the ends so the mesh stays tight for years. If the line is shared, we give both owners a written quote for the dividing fence.
Best for: family homes with long side and rear boundaries
Chain wire for long boundariesDriveway gates on a family block get used many times a day. Our workshop fabricates swing and sliding gates sized to the width of your driveway, plus pedestrian gates for side paths and front entries. Steel frames can also be made to take timber palings when you want the gate to blend with a timber fence already there.
Best for: family homes, trailers and wide driveways
Driveway and walk-in gatesA dog that finds a gap will use it again. We re-tension slack mesh, straighten or replace leaning posts, patch holes and rehang gates that drag. Fence repairs Bald Hills owners need are often small, and we are glad to do them. Every repair is checked along the whole run so the next weak spot is not left for later.
Best for: owners with ageing or damaged fences

Bald Hills sits at Brisbane's northern boundary, with the South Pine River along its western side and the Pine River to the north. The Bald Hills Flats floodplain lies to the west, and the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands are close by on the edge of Moreton Bay. Most of its 7,000 residents (ABS 2021) live in detached family homes, and almost half of households are paying off a mortgage.
Big yards bring long fence lines, and every extra metre is another place for a dog to dig or a post to lean. Many families keep more than one kind of animal, so a single yard may need an outer boundary plus an inner run. Homes near the floodplain edge can see softer ground after heavy rain, which makes footings work harder.
An escaped dog on a busy road such as Gympie Road is a real danger. A chook pen with a gap at the base can lose a flock overnight. For families paying off a home, a fence that lasts saves money over time.
For fencing in Bald Hills we walk the full line first, check the ground, and plan where enclosures and gates will sit. We favour chain wire, which can be fixed one panel at a time and extended when the family adds another animal. That keeps fencing in Bald Hills simple to maintain.

These are the calls we get most about fencing in Bald Hills. Most start with an animal finding a way out, or a long run that has lost its shape. Each has a straightforward fix for fencing in Bald Hills.
Mesh that stops short of the ground on a long side run gives a dog plenty of places to test, and soft soil makes digging easy.
Once a dog is out, it can reach the street or a neighbour's animals within minutes.
We run the mesh right down to the soil, secure the base with a rail or taut wire and, for persistent diggers, pour a narrow concrete footing or bury an apron of mesh along the line. Look for: fresh holes, bare soil under the wire, lifted mesh corners.
Pens built from light wire or old offcuts leave gaps at corners, under the gate and along the base.
Chooks are easy targets at night, and one gap is enough to lose several birds.
We rebuild the enclosure in tensioned chain wire with a tight-fitting gate, a secure latch and mesh finished at ground level. We can also add an inner gate so the pen opens into a dog-free part of the yard. Look for: bent wire, gaps under the gate, feathers outside the pen.
Wide driveway gates are heavy, and years of daily swinging drop the hinges or push the post out of line.
A gate left half open lets dogs and small children reach the street.
We start at the hinge post and its footing, then rehang and square up the gate. If the frame is past saving, our Geebung workshop fabricates a fresh one. For very wide openings we can suggest a sliding gate. Look for: a gate that drags, a latch that misses, a post that leans.

Get a Free QuoteChain wire suits most backyard animals. It is strong, lets you see into the yard, and can be finished right at ground level with a bottom rail. For fencing in Bald Hills we often build one outer boundary and a separate inner run, so dogs and chooks each have their own space. Tell us what animals you keep, and we will size the enclosure, mesh and gates to suit.
It can. Ground near the Bald Hills Flats may be softer after heavy rain, so we look closely at post depth and footings at the measure. Open ground on the other side also means animals may test the fence more. We will check your block and recommend post spacing, bracing and a base finish that suit it. Check your property in City Plan for any flood overlay.
In Queensland, the Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act 2011 says adjoining owners contribute equally to a sufficient fence. Whoever wants the new fence sends the neighbour a written notice, then both have a month to reach agreement. If that fails, QCAT can make the call. For fencing in Bald Hills boundaries, our itemised quote gives you both the same plan to discuss.
Yes. We build driveway gates in our Geebung workshop to your exact opening, as a single swing, a double swing or a sliding gate where space is tight. Frames can be finished galvanised, powder-coated black or PVC-coated. A 48-hour turnaround is available on custom gates. We will look at the slope of the driveway and how often it opens before we recommend a style.
No two Bald Hills yards cost the same. The total comes from the metres of mesh, the height, the finish, how many gates you want, what the ground is like and whether an old fence has to come out first. An inner dog run or chook pen is priced as its own item. After a free visit we send an itemised written quote. When weighing up chain wire fencing Bald Hills quotes side by side, make sure height, finish and gate count match.
Start dates hinge on the size of the job and what is already booked. Getting a measure done is rarely hard, since our Geebung base is only a short drive south. Once you confirm an order, a custom gate can be ready in 48 hours. Ring (07) 3865 8100 and we will give you an honest date and walk you through each stage of the build.
Bald Hills is named for the grassed rises early settlers saw above the scrub along the South Pine River. Scots families, including the Stewarts and the Duncans, arrived in 1857 and grew maize, potatoes, arrowroot and cotton. John Stewart won medals for his cotton at the 1862 London International Exhibition. A Cobb & Co coach service ran from 1872, and dairying later became the main industry, with local farms sending up to 1,200 gallons of milk a day to Brisbane and Sandgate by 1929. The Richmond Heights estate began in 1959. We supply and install fencing in Bald Hills from our Geebung base, a short drive down Gympie Road.
