Fencing in Brisbane

Chain wire, security and commercial fencing, gates and repairs for Brisbane homes, schools and businesses, made and installed from our workshop in Geebung.

Sureline Fencing has made and installed fencing in Brisbane since 1996. We started in Northgate and moved to larger premises in Geebung in 2006 to expand our manufacturing, so the chain wire panels, posts, rails and gates on your job are made and assembled in our own workshop. Our team has more than 90 years of combined experience on homes, schools, sports grounds, warehouses and industrial sites. Every job starts with a free on-site measure and a written quote, and our fencing is installed to meet the relevant Australian Standards.

Fencing Made and Installed by One Brisbane Team

Every fencing job starts with one question: what does the fence need to do? Keep a dog in the yard, mark a boundary with a neighbour, secure a warehouse after hours or keep a school ground safe. The answer sets the height, the mesh, the posts, the gates and the finish, so that is where we start.

Because we make our own chain wire panels, posts, rails and gates in Geebung, the team that measures your site is the team that builds and installs the fence. The specification stays the same from quote to handover, and a gate can be made to suit the opening you actually have rather than the nearest stock size.

Why Brisbane Property Owners Choose Sureline Fencing

Sureline Fencing was established in Northgate in 1996 and moved to larger premises in Geebung in 2006 to expand its manufacturing division. Our Geebung site is where we fabricate chain wire panels, posts, rails and gates, and it is also a retail and wholesale outlet open to the public.

Making our own components keeps quality in our hands and lead times realistic. It also lets us take on the jobs a standard kit won't fit: an odd-sized gate opening, a stepped run down a sloping block, or a security upgrade on an existing fence.

Chain wire is a durable, cost-effective fence for home boundaries, dog runs, sports courts, school perimeters and commercial yards. We supply and install it in galvanised or black PVC-coated finishes, in heights from 0.9 m to 3.6 m or custom, with 50 mm or 60 mm mesh.

Best for: home boundaries, pets and general-purpose perimeters

Local context

Fencing in Brisbane covers a wide mix of work. On the northside alone there are post-war houses with old dividing fences, new homes on bare boundaries, townhouse complexes with shared common property, and industrial estates such as the one around our own Geebung base, where security comes first.

Common challenges

Brisbane's heat, humidity, summer storms and strong winds are hard on fencing. Low-grade wire and fittings corrode, posts in poor footings start to lean, and gates drop out of line with heavy use. Sloping blocks, old footings left in the ground and boundaries that no longer follow the survey add to the work.

Why it matters

A fence that fails lets pets and children out, leaves a site open after hours or starts a disagreement with a neighbour. Under Queensland's Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act 2011, adjoining owners usually share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally, so a clear specification and a written quote help both sides agree before work starts.

Our approach

Every job starts on site. We check access, slope, soil and the boundary line, then set out the height, wire gauge, coating, posts and gates in writing. Posts are set in concrete footings, rails are fitted, the mesh is tensioned and gates are hung and tested. We finish with a check against the relevant Australian Standards and clear the site.

Common Fencing Problems in Brisbane and How We Fix Them

These are common fence faults on Brisbane properties. If you recognise one, a quick on-site look usually shows whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

"A storm brought the fence down"

Strong winds, falling branches and storm debris bend posts, tear mesh and push whole runs out of line. Vehicle impact and break-ins cause the same kind of damage.

A damaged fence can leave a yard or a site open and unsafe until it is fixed, and an insurer usually wants a quote before it approves the work.

We stabilise unsafe sections, repair or replace damaged posts, rails and mesh, and quote a full replacement where a repair won't last. Insurance quotes come with supporting documentation and photos.

Request a repair quote

"The gate drags or won't latch any more"

Heavy daily use, dropped hinges and posts that have moved over time pull a gate out of square, so the latch no longer lines up.

A gate that won't close defeats the purpose of the fence, whether it guards a backyard pool area, a school entry or a warehouse driveway.

We check the post first, then rehang, re-square or replace the gate with a new steel frame made in our workshop, with new hinges and a latch to suit.

See our gate repairs

"The dog keeps getting out"

Mesh that ends above the ground, slack mesh that can be pushed aside, or an opening too large for a small dog all leave a way out.

An escaped pet is at risk on the road and can cause trouble with neighbours.

We re-tension the mesh, fit a bottom rail or tension wire close to the ground, and use dog-proof mesh with a smaller aperture where small dogs are the problem.

Learn about chain wire fencing

"Our site needs to be more secure"

A standard boundary fence is built to mark a line, not to stop a determined intruder, so it can be climbed or cut.

Warehouses, utility compounds, car yards and industrial sites hold equipment and stock that need protecting around the clock.

We raise the fence height and add three-tier or five-tier barbed wire, razor wire coils or anti-climb mesh, with reinforced end and corner posts and matching security gates.

FAQ

Fencing in Brisbane: Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Call 07 3865 8100

Get a Free Quote
Do I need council approval for a new fence in Brisbane?

For most homes, no. Brisbane City Council requires building approval when a fence is more than 2 metres above the natural ground surface (including any screen or retaining wall beneath it) or when it forms part of the fencing for a regulated pool. Overlays and neighbourhood plans can add requirements, so check your property in City Plan. We will flag anything unusual at the measure.

Who pays for a dividing fence between two properties?

Usually both neighbours share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally. If one neighbour wants a fence that costs more than a sufficient one, that neighbour pays the extra. If you can't agree, QCAT can decide. Our written quote gives both owners a clear specification to discuss.

How long does a fencing job take?

Lead times are generally two to four weeks, depending on our fabrication schedule and workload. Once work starts, most residential fences are installed within one to two days; larger commercial and industrial jobs take longer depending on their size. Call (07) 3865 8100 and we will give you a realistic start date.

How much does fencing cost in Brisbane?

It depends on the fence style, height, wire gauge, coating, soil type, slope, access, the length of the run, the number of gates, any security additions and whether old fencing needs to be removed and taken away (we can do that too). We don't quote blind: we measure on site for free and give you a written quote.

Can you build a fence on a sloping block?

Yes. Chain wire fencing can be stepped or tensioned to follow sloping or uneven ground. We check the slope and soil when we measure, so the quote covers the right posts and footings.

Can I buy the materials and build the fence myself?

Yes. Our Geebung workshop is also a retail and wholesale outlet open to the public. You can buy chain wire, posts, rails, fittings and gate hardware over the counter, or order a DIY fencing kit cut to your measurements. See our fencing supplies in Brisbane page for the full range.

Which areas do you cover?

We work throughout Brisbane and South-East Queensland from our Geebung base. Thirty suburbs, from Zillmere and Chermside to Sandgate and Lutwyche, have their own fencing page, listed in Areas We Serve above.
