Timber fences of Melbourne

Common throughout Melbourne this perma-pine rail, paling and hardwood post fence is by far the most popular. But slowly people are realizing the benefits of steel fencing.
Timber discolors, steel does not, Timber warps, steel does not. Life span of steel can be several decades. With timber you will be lucky if it still looks good at 15 years old.
However, you cant beat the smell and looks of a freshly installed timber fence. The way it blends in with the bushes of a native garden, the natural colour and texture.
NICE!

Mirbau Designer fence and gates

There are many attractive styles available and this Web log aims to show the recent styles and some of the work we do around Melbourne. This fence (pictured) uses the designer style rails and plinth used on the fences common in Caroline springs. But instead of steel sheets, incorporates 75mm Mirbu decking as slats making the fence slightly see through.

Below is a fence and Gates installed in Windsor. With Mirbau laminated posts and treated pine rails mounted with galvanised brackets. Stainless steel screws fasten the 90mm pickets reducing any chance of dis-lodging. Capped with painted black fence capping gives this fence a very smart appearance on a modern Windsor townhouse.
