Coastal-grade security fencing and lockable gates for the businesses, clubs and compounds around Scarborough's harbour.
Scarborough lives by the water. Boats, trailers, engines and marine gear are stored in yards and compounds a short walk from the harbour and ramps. That equipment is valuable and easy to move, and the salt air near the water is tough on steel. Our security fencing Scarborough work focuses on secure compounds that last by the sea. Every fence installation Scarborough operators book starts with a site assessment. We fabricate the gates in Geebung and install fencing in Scarborough with finishes chosen for coastal exposure. Quotes for fencing in Scarborough are free.
Scarborough sits at the northern tip of the peninsula, and our security crews also work in the suburbs listed. Operators with several yards can book fencing in Scarborough together with those sites. We're happy to price fencing in Scarborough and your other compounds in one quote.

In 2004 Scarborough Beach Park was named Australia's Friendliest Beach (Wikipedia). Visitors are welcome on the foreshore, but storage yards and workshops still need a firm boundary after dark. Outboards, trailers and tools are prime targets for opportunistic theft.
We install security fencing and lockable access gates for marine businesses, clubs and storage compounds. Owners and committees get a written scope for fencing in Scarborough after we walk the site. We specify coastal finishes so fencing in Scarborough holds up near the water.
A compound fence near the sea has two jobs: keep people out and resist corrosion. We have installed security fencing since 1996 and hold QBCC licence 1016362. As a security fencing contractor, we start with a risk and site assessment, then recommend mesh, height, gates and finishes for each side. Gates and frames are fabricated in our Geebung workshop. That is why marine operators and clubs trust us with fencing in Scarborough.
Coastal-grade fencing starts with hot-dip galvanised steel. For the most exposed runs, we add a PVC coating or powder coat to give a second barrier against salt. Heavy-duty swing gates and sliding gates are sized for boat trailers and service vehicles, and fitted with lockable hardware. Our team has more than 90 years of combined experience. We also offer repairs, re-tensioning and gate servicing, so your fencing in Scarborough keeps working after years of sea air.

Licence 1016362Operators near the harbour mostly ask us for these five. Each can be booked as fencing in Scarborough by itself, or combined so fencing in Scarborough secures the whole compound at once.
Storage compound fencing encloses boats, trailers, caravans and equipment. We usually install 1.8 m to 2.4 m chain wire, welded mesh or anti-climb mesh, depending on the risk. Posts are set in concrete and the mesh is tensioned mechanically for a firm, straight line.
Best for: boat and trailer storage
See security fencingMarine business fencing secures workshops, chandlery yards and service bays. We plan the layout around customer access, staff entries and where boats are moved by tractor or trailer, so the fence protects the business without slowing it down. Gates can be sized for tractors and trailers.
Best for: workshops and yards
See commercial fencingPVC-coated security fencing adds a coloured coating over galvanised wire. On sites close to the water it slows corrosion and keeps a neat appearance. Black or green finishes suit a waterfront setting better than bare steel. Matching gates can be coated too.
Best for: sites near the water
See chain wire fencingHeavy-duty swing gates and sliding gates let trailers and tow vehicles in and out. We fabricate them to the opening, set the posts in deep footings and fit lockable hardware. Gates can be built automation-ready for busy compounds. Wheels and hinges suit coastal use.
Best for: vehicle access
See security gatesFence maintenance and re-tensioning keeps a perimeter tight and secure. We re-tension slack mesh, replace corroded ties and fittings, and service hinges and latches. Regular checks are worthwhile near the sea, where small problems grow quickly. Visits can be booked as needed.
Best for: existing perimeters

Scarborough sits at the northern tip of the Redcliffe peninsula, facing Moreton Bay and Deception Bay. Its harbour and boat ramps support a busy marine community. Schools such as the De La Salle campus of Southern Cross Catholic College and retirement living such as Ballycara are part of the suburb too. Trailers come and go at all hours.
Compounds near the harbour face salt spray, sea breezes and the occasional storm. Stored boats and trailers attract theft. Gates must be wide enough for long trailers and strong enough for daily use. Many sites also sit near homes and public paths, which rules out some security toppings.
A corroded post or a seized gate fails when you need it most. A weak boundary can lead to stolen outboards and costly insurance claims. Toppings in the wrong place can cause problems with neighbours. Repairs after a theft also cost time on the water.
We assess the site, choose coastal finishes and size gates for the largest trailer. Anti-climb mesh is used where toppings aren't suitable. That keeps fencing in Scarborough secure and neighbour-friendly. Ongoing servicing keeps fencing in Scarborough in good order. Posts are capped and set in concrete that sheds water.

Boat yards and clubs bring us these three problems most often. Here's how we fix each one as part of fencing in Scarborough. Call us to arrange an assessment of fencing in Scarborough.
Standard chain wire is easy to cut or climb, and the yard is quiet at night.
Outboards and electronics are costly, and repeat thefts raise insurance premiums.
We upgrade the weakest sections to anti-climb or welded mesh on heavy posts, check that gates and corners match the new standard and fit lockable hardware. Where suitable and permitted, a topping can be added on sections away from public paths.
Hinges, wheels and latches corrode quickly near the water, especially without regular servicing.
A seized gate either locks staff out or gets left open.
We service or replace the hinges, wheels and latch, and replace the gate frame if it has corroded. New frames can be PVC-coated or powder-coated for extra protection. A simple servicing schedule helps prevent the problem returning.
Gates sized for cars leave no room for boat trailers to swing in from the street.
Drivers clip the posts, damage boats and slow down launches and retrievals.
We widen the opening, reposition the gate posts and fabricate a heavy-duty swing gate or sliding gate to suit. Posts go into deep footings so they stay plumb under daily use. We'll check the street first.

Capped posts, concrete footings that shed water and regular rinsing all help fencing in Scarborough last longer by the sea. We'll flag the most exposed sides during the site visit.
Yes. We fence storage compounds with chain wire, welded mesh or anti-climb mesh, usually 1.8 m to 2.4 m high, with gates sized for boat trailers. We'll assess the site first and recommend where stronger mesh or other measures are worth the extra cost. Your fencing in Scarborough can be staged so the compound stays closed.
Yes. We service hinges, wheels and latches, re-tension slack mesh and replace corroded fittings. Near the sea, a regular check can stop a small problem turning into a seized gate or a failed post. Call us with photos, and we'll arrange a visit. Servicing visits can be booked as needed.
Toppings can be added in certain areas where they are permitted and suitable. Many sites near homes and public paths choose anti-climb mesh instead, which deters climbing without a topping. We check what suits your site and its neighbours before recommending any topping. We'll explain the options before quoting. We'll explain why in plain terms.
Yes. We fabricate swing and sliding gates to the opening you need, including wide openings for boat trailers. We'll look at the street, the turning space and the slope, then recommend a gate type and width. Posts are set in deep footings to stay plumb. Heavy wheels or hinges suit the weight.
Yes. We work with clubs, businesses and property owners. For clubs, we provide itemised quotes that a committee can review and approve, and we can stage the work to suit the budget. Tell us who approves the work and we'll set the quote out to suit. Works can be staged to suit club budgets.
On Easter Monday 1886, lots from Dr Hobbs' former marine residence were sold, with free steamer travel for buyers. The Walsh Estate was sold in 1927 and the Sea Breeze Estate in 1929. A Methodist church relocated from Deagon opened in January 1938. St Bernadette's Catholic Church opened in 1946, and De La Salle College opened in February 1955. The Combie Trader barge to Moreton Island stopped in July 2008. Sureline Fencing began in Northgate in 1996 and moved to Geebung in 2006. Our security crews head to the top of the peninsula from there to build fencing in Scarborough.
