Timber Fencing in Adelaide
Timber fencing remains a popular, cost-effective boundary fence choice in Adelaide. Treated pine paling fences are the classic option, with hardwood available for longer life. The main enemy is rot at ground level — post material is the key quality factor.
Timber fencing options
- Treated pine paling — the affordable classic; H4-treated posts resist rot.
- Hardwood — longer-lasting, more expensive.
- Steel posts with timber palings — combines rot-resistant posts with a timber look.
Why timber fences fail (and how to avoid it)
9 out of 10 leaning timber fences fail at the posts, not the palings — untreated or low-grade pine posts rot at ground level in Adelaide's reactive clay soils. Insist on H4-treated or steel posts for a fence that lasts.
