Lawnton's median age is 37, and 40.9% of homes are rented (ABS 2021). Young households and rentals often mean a dog, a small yard and a fence that wasn't built with either in mind. Dogs dig under, squeeze beside gates and push through slack mesh.
We help owners build dog-proof fencing that actually holds. Our fencing materials Lawnton households order include chain wire, tension wire, ties and fittings, gates and kits. Tell us the dog's size and habits, and we'll suggest fencing supplies in Lawnton to match. Often a few changes to your fencing supplies in Lawnton are all it takes.
Most escapes come down to a few details: a gap at the bottom, a loose run or a gate that doesn't shut. We have built chain wire fences in Brisbane since 1996, and we know where dogs get through. That's what we focus on when we put together fencing supplies in Lawnton for a pet owner.
You don't always need a whole new fence. Often a new bottom tension wire, tighter ties and a self-closing hinge are enough. When a new fence is the better answer, our DIY chain wire kits are cut to your measurements and include everything. Our team has more than 90 years of combined experience and can explain the fix in plain terms. Most stocked items are ready for same-day pickup from Geebung, a short drive down Gympie Road. We also offer delivery to the Pine Rivers district for fencing supplies in Lawnton.
These five lines solve most escape problems. Buy fencing supplies in Lawnton as a quick repair or a full dog run, and we'll make sure your fencing supplies in Lawnton suit the size of your dog.
Our chain wire supplies Lawnton owners order come in galvanised or PVC-coated finishes, in heights from 0.9 m to 3.6 m. For most dogs, 1.5 m to 1.8 m works well. Jumpers and climbers may need more height, and small dogs need a tight base more than a tall top.
Best for: most yards
Browse chain wire suppliesBottom tension wire runs along the base of the mesh and holds it tight to the ground. Without it, the bottom edge lifts and dogs push under. Strain it firmly between braced end posts and tie the mesh to it every short distance along the run.
Best for: dogs that push under
View fence accessoriesSelf-closing gate hinges swing the gate shut after every use, so a visitor or child can't leave it open. Pair them with a latch that catches on its own. We also make gate frames to size if the old gate is too bent to close properly.
Best for: busy households

8.6 km² between two rivers
Wikipedia – Lawnton, Queensland
Lawnton covers about 8.6 square kilometres in the Pine Rivers district, 2.7 km north of Strathpine. The North Pine River forms its northern edge, and the South Pine River and Four Mile Creek run along the south-east. Gympie Road runs through the centre. Leis Park has a boat ramp onto the North Pine River, and the Pine Rivers Showgrounds are on Gympie Road.
Lawnton has a lot of young households. Separate houses make up 69.3% of homes and townhouses 24.5%, so many yards are small and close to neighbours. Rentals are common, at 40.9%. The soil near the rivers and creek is often soft, which makes digging easy for dogs and can let posts move.
A dog that gets out can be hit by a car on Gympie Road, hurt another animal or lead to a council complaint. In a townhouse or rental, it can also cause trouble with the neighbours or the landlord.
We start with the dog. A digger needs a tight base and bottom tension wire. A jumper needs height. A dog that slips past people needs a self-closing gate. Then we suggest fencing supplies in Lawnton for that problem. Fencing supplies in Lawnton for soft ground include longer posts.

These escape routes come up most when Lawnton owners call us. The right fencing supplies in Lawnton close each one. Call to talk through fencing supplies in Lawnton for your yard.
The bottom of the mesh is loose or sits above the ground, and soft soil makes digging easy.
A dog that has dug out once will keep trying, often in a new spot.
Fit a bottom tension wire and strain it tight between braced posts. Tie the mesh down to it at short spacing. In soft soil, bury a strip of mesh along the base or set a concrete edge where the dog digs. We supply the wire, ties and extra mesh.
The gap between the gate and the post is too wide, or the gate has dropped and left a gap underneath.
Even a small gap is enough for a smaller dog, and owners often don't see it happen.
Check the gap at the hinge side, the latch side and underneath. Re-hang the gate on new hinges so it sits level and close to the posts. If the frame has bent, we can make a new one to fit. Add self-closing hinges so it closes on its own.
End posts in soft soil weren't deep or braced enough, so they've leaned under the mesh's pull.
Slack mesh is easy to push through or climb, and the lean gets worse each wet season.
Reset or replace the end posts with longer pipe in deeper concrete footings, and add bracing. Then re-tension the top and bottom wire and re-tie the mesh. We'll cut posts to the length you need.

Get a Supply QuoteFor most dogs, 1.5 m to 1.8 m is enough. Large dogs that jump or climb may need more. Fences up to 2 m above natural ground generally don't need building approval in Moreton Bay. Small dogs need a tight base more than height. Tell us your dog's size and habits, and we'll suggest a height for your fencing supplies in Lawnton order.
Fit a bottom tension wire and tie the mesh to it every short distance, so the base can't lift. In soft ground, bury a strip of mesh along the base, or set a concrete edge where the dog digs. Fill any hollows under the fence and gate. We supply the tension wire, mesh, fence ties and fittings for the job.
It depends on your yard and your dog. A dog run gives the dog a safe space while children and visitors use the rest of the yard freely. Fencing the whole boundary gives the dog more room. Our DIY kits are cut to size for either. Send us your measurements and we'll quote both.
Talk to your landlord or property manager first. In Queensland, the owner is usually responsible for keeping the property in good repair, and changes often need written permission. Many landlords will approve a small repair quickly. We can provide a parts list and price for the landlord to approve. That makes the approval quick and simple.
Yes. Our Geebung outlet at 39 Basalt St is open from 6 am to 3 pm on weekdays, and most stocked items are ready for same-day pickup. Order ahead by phone or email so it's waiting. Long posts and rolls of mesh can also be delivered across Moreton Bay. Just tell us when you plan to call in.
Under Queensland's dividing fence law, neighbouring owners usually share the cost of a sufficient fence equally. If you want something extra, like a taller fence for a jumping dog, you may need to cover the difference. Talk to your neighbour before you order fencing supplies in Lawnton for a shared boundary.
Lawnton takes its name from Stephen Lawn, a blacksmith and wheelwright. In 1888 the government bought land from him for a railway station and named it Lawnton. A post office opened in 1889, and a corn flour and starch mill opened on Gympie Road around 1900. In 1915 the Pine Rivers show moved its showground to Lawnton. Lawnton State School opened in 1967, and a caravan factory opened in 1968. A new four-track railway bridge was built in 2016. Sureline Fencing began in Northgate in 1996 and moved to Geebung in 2006. Fencing supplies in Lawnton travel up Gympie Road from there.
