Wavell Heights was almost fully built by the start of World War II, and many homes still have early pipe-and-wire front fences. Owners renovating these homes want materials that match the originals, so the repair doesn't look out of place from the street. Handy owners can often restore a front fence themselves with the right parts.
We supply galvanised pipe and rails, chain wire and fittings, and our workshop makes federation and heritage gates to order for owners who'll hang them themselves. For timber fences, we make steel frames that take palings. It's fencing supplies in Wavell Heights chosen to suit older homes, and our team can talk through fencing supplies in Wavell Heights with you before you buy.
Matching an older fence is harder than building a new one. Pipe sizes, gate styles and mesh finishes have changed over the decades, and off-the-shelf parts rarely line up. We manufacture gates and frames in our own workshop, which means the fencing supplies in Wavell Heights owners buy from us can be made to suit the house itself.
Customers who've ordered federation gates from us mention the quality and how responsive our team was. Bring a photo of your original gate, a sketch or just the measurements, and we'll work through the details. Our outlet is in Geebung, which borders Wavell Heights, so collecting fencing supplies in Wavell Heights is quick.

Best for: character homes with original front fences
See federation gatesPipe-framed front fences were common in this era. We supply galvanised pipe, posts and rails to replace rusted sections, sized to match your existing fence. These pipe and rail fencing materials let you swap out only the damaged lengths. Measure the outside diameter of a sound post and note the fence height, and we'll match it.
Best for: restoring pipe-and-wire front fences
See posts, pipe and railsTimber gates sag when the frame weakens. We make steel frames that take timber palings, so you can build a gate that matches your timber fence and stays square. Choose your own timber and paling style, then fix the palings to the frame yourself. We make each frame to your measured opening.

Explore gate frames and hardwareWe supply galvanised and black PVC-coated chain wire, tie wire and fence fittings to re-mesh a front fence or repair a side boundary. Galvanised mesh suits a traditional pipe-and-wire front. Black suits a garden setting. Bring the fence length and height, and we'll work out the rolls and fittings you need.
Best for: re-meshing older fences
Browse chain wire suppliesHinges, latches and other gate hardware wear out on older gates. We stock replacements and can suggest options that suit the style of the house. Bring the old hinge or latch so we can compare sizes. If the gate itself has dropped, a new frame may fix it better than new hardware.

Wavell Heights has 4,016 private dwellings (ABS 2021), and most are separate houses from the 1920s to the 1950s. With a median age of 37, many owners are younger families renovating older homes. The suburb was subdivided from the mid-1920s and almost fully built by the start of World War II, so many streets have homes of a similar era.
Original front fences often have rusted pipe posts, sagging wire and gates that have dropped. Owners want to restore rather than replace, but matching parts can be hard to find. Some fences have been patched over the years with odd mesh or posts. Timber paling gates on old frames tend to sag and drag.
A mismatched repair can spoil the look of a character home, while a failing gate is a safety concern for young families. A full replacement is a bigger job than fixing the failed parts, and it can remove a feature that suits the house.
For fencing supplies in Wavell Heights we start with photos and measurements of the existing fence. We match pipe, mesh and fittings, and make gates to suit the house. The fencing materials Wavell Heights restorations call for are usually pipe, rails, mesh and fittings. We keep chain wire supplies Wavell Heights owners can choose in galvanised or black. That way, fencing supplies in Wavell Heights help keep the street's character.

These are the problems Wavell Heights owners most often bring to us. Each can be fixed with the right fencing supplies in Wavell Heights. Bring photos so we can match your fencing supplies in Wavell Heights to the original.
Older pipe posts corrode where they meet damp soil or garden beds. Brisbane's wettest months, December to March, keep that soil wet for long stretches.
Rusted posts weaken the whole front fence. A post that snaps at ground level can drop a section of mesh and leave the front yard open.
Replace them with galvanised pipe set in concrete, keeping the original rails where sound. Bring the post diameter and we'll match it from our galvanised pipe range.
Timber frames twist and loosen as they age, and the joints open up after years of wet summers.
A sagging gate drags on the path and stops latching. That's a problem when small children or pets need to stay in the yard.
Rebuild it on a steel frame made to take timber palings. Reuse sound palings or add new ones to match the fence. The steel keeps the gate square.
Off-the-shelf gates rarely match older homes. Their proportions, infill and finish are designed for newer houses.
A modern gate can look out of place on a character street and pull attention away from the house.
Order a federation or heritage-style gate made to your design, supply-only. Our workshop can add custom scroll details and finish it galvanised or in black powder coat. Bring a photo of the house front for reference.
