Wide gates, lockable hardware and tough chain wire for Scarborough owners who keep a boat, trailer or van at home.
Scarborough has its own boat harbour, three public boat ramps and an artificial reef just offshore, so plenty of driveways here hold a boat on a trailer. Keeping it safe means a side yard fence and a gate wide enough to back it through. We sell the fencing supplies in Scarborough that owners use to build exactly that: double driveway and sliding gate frames, lockable latches and heavy-duty chain wire.

Scarborough has plenty of larger homes, with 26.5% having four or more bedrooms and 38.0% owned outright (ABS 2021). Bigger blocks and long-term owners often mean a boat, a trailer or a caravan parked beside the house. Those need a gate wide enough to manoeuvre through and a fence that deters thieves.
We make that kind of storage simple. Our fencing materials Scarborough owners order include gate frames made to size, lockable hardware and heavy-duty chain wire. Measure the opening and the turning space, and we'll match fencing supplies in Scarborough to the job. Larger fencing supplies in Scarborough orders can be delivered.
Caravan storage gates and boat gates have to do more than a garden gate. They span a wide opening, carry more weight and get bumped by trailers. We have made gate frames in our own workshop since 1996, including double driveway and sliding frames. We build them to your measurements in galvanised, powder-coated or PVC-coated finishes. That's why many fencing supplies in Scarborough orders start with the gate.
We also help you get the details right. Our team has more than 90 years of combined experience, and we'll ask about the trailer width, the slope of the driveway and the room to swing or slide before we quote. We supply the posts and hardware to carry the gate's weight, plus lockable latches and drop bolts. Retail and trade customers buy over the same counter. We offer delivery across Moreton Bay, so fencing supplies in Scarborough don't have to squeeze onto your own trailer.
These five lines cover most fencing supplies in Scarborough owners need to store a boat or van safely. We'll put your fencing supplies in Scarborough on one quote, from posts to padlock-ready latches.
Double driveway gate frames open from the middle, so each leaf is lighter and needs less swing room. They suit wide openings for boats and caravans. We make them to your width and height, with heavy hinges and a drop bolt to hold one leaf closed.
Best for: wide openings
See gate frames and hardwareSliding gate frames run along the fence line, so they need no swing space. They work well on sloping driveways or where the trailer sits close to the gate. You need a clear run beside the opening at least as long as the gate is wide.
Best for: tight driveways
See gate frames and hardwareLockable gate latches and drop bolts keep storage gates shut and deter opportunistic theft. Choose hardware rated for the gate's size and weight. We'll match latches and hinges to your frame, so everything lines up when the gate is closed.
Best for: theft deterrence
See gate frames and hardwareHeavy-duty chain wire, with 3.15 mm wire, is tougher than the standard 2.5 mm. It suits side yard fencing that may be bumped by a trailer or leaned on. Choose PVC-coated chain wire in black or green for extra protection near the bay.
Best for: side yards
Browse chain wire suppliesWide gates need strong posts. We supply Australian Standard galvanised pipe up to 100NB for gate posts, cut to length while you wait. Rails and bracing keep the fence on either side of the gate straight under load. Tell us the gate's width and weight, and we'll size the posts.

Scarborough sits at the northern tip of the Redcliffe peninsula, with Moreton Bay to the north and east and Deception Bay to the north-west. It covers about 3.3 square kilometres. The suburb has a 13.7 ha boat harbour, public ramps at Bird O'Passage Parade, Thurecht Parade and Flinders Parade, and the Turner artificial reef about one nautical mile offshore.
Storing a boat or van at home brings three challenges. The opening must be wide enough to reverse a trailer through, often on a slope. The gate is heavy and gets bumped. The stored vehicle is a target for theft. On top of that, homes close to the water face constant salt air, which wears hinges and latches quickly.
A narrow gate makes every launch a struggle. A sagging wide gate drags, then gets left open. Gear left in an open side yard is easy to steal, and corroded hardware can fail just when you need the gate to lock.
We plan boat storage fencing around the trailer. We ask for the opening width, the trailer's width and length, the slope and the space to the side. Then we suggest a double or sliding gate frame with posts and hardware to suit. That way fencing supplies in Scarborough fit the first time. Fencing supplies in Scarborough near the water can be PVC-coated.

These problems come up most often when Scarborough owners fence for a boat or van. The right fencing supplies in Scarborough fix each one. Call to talk through fencing supplies in Scarborough for your driveway.
The opening was sized for a car, not for reversing a trailer at an angle.
Owners scrape the boat, the trailer or the gate posts every time they launch.
Measure the trailer's widest point and add room for the angle you reverse at. Widen the opening and fit a double driveway gate or a sliding gate frame. Move or replace the gate posts so they are clear of the wheel line. We'll help you work out a width that suits your trailer.
A single wide leaf on light posts and hinges drops over time, especially when people swing on it.
A dragging gate is hard to open, gets left ajar and wears the driveway.
Replace the gate posts with larger pipe in deeper footings. Fit heavy hinges, or split the opening into a double gate with a drop bolt. On a sloping driveway, a sliding gate frame avoids most dragging problems.
Sea air and spray corrode hinges and latches, especially on homes near the harbour or beach.
A seized latch can stop the gate locking, or lock you out when you need to launch.
Replace corroded hardware with new galvanised or coated parts sized for the gate. Rinse the hardware with fresh water after storms and oil moving parts every few months. Choose a PVC-coated or powder-coated frame for gates close to the water.

Get a Supply QuoteMeasure the widest point of the trailer or van, then add room for reversing at an angle and for mirrors. The extra needed depends on how straight you can approach the gate. Send us the trailer width, the driveway layout and the space beside the opening, and we'll suggest a gate width for your fencing supplies in Scarborough order.
A double gate suits a flat driveway with room inside for both leaves to swing. A sliding gate suits a sloping driveway or a tight space, but it needs a clear run beside the opening at least as wide as the gate. We make both to size in our Geebung workshop.
Start with a lockable latch and a drop bolt on a gate that closes properly. Make sure the fence beside the gate is firm and tensioned so it can't be lifted. Many owners also lock the trailer itself. We supply lockable gate hardware matched to your frame. Tell us the gate size and we'll suggest a set.
In Moreton Bay, fences up to 2 m above natural ground generally don't need building approval. Taller fences do, and so do pool fences. If the fence is on the boundary, Queensland's dividing fence law usually has neighbours share the cost of a sufficient fence. Check before ordering fencing supplies in Scarborough for a boundary.
Salt air wears all steel faster, so choose galvanised or coated hardware and a PVC-coated or powder-coated frame. Rinse the gate and hardware with fresh water now and then, especially after storms, and oil the moving parts. Replace any part that starts to seize before it fails. We stock replacement parts at Geebung.
Yes. We deliver across Moreton Bay, including Scarborough. Wide gate frames and long posts don't fit easily on a car trailer, so delivery is often the simpler choice. Tell us your address and where we can leave the load, and we'll confirm the cost when we quote. Small hardware is quicker to collect.
Scarborough's land went to auction in August 1878, promoted as a marine township. The Scarborough Hotel opened in 1879 but was later a financial failure. In 1882, 250 allotments were offered, and a passenger steamer from Brisbane began running in 1883. Scarborough State School opened in March 1925 with 30 pupils. After the Hornibrook Highway opened in 1935, the area grew and gained a post office. The Moreton Bay Boat Club was formed in 1963. Sureline Fencing started in Northgate in 1996 and moved to Geebung in 2006. Fencing supplies in Scarborough are sent from there.
