Choosing the Right Supplies for Your Project
Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a weekend repair or a contractor supplying a full job, the right combination of materials makes the difference. Treated pine is the standard choice for palings and rails, it’s cost-effective and holds up well against Melbourne’s weather when properly treated. For posts, cypress and hardwood are both solid options, hardwood generally offers extra strength for taller fences or exposed positions, while cypress is a reliable, more budget-friendly choice for standard builds.
Palings and Rails
Palings and rails form the bulk of any paling fence, and we stock treated pine for both. Treated pine resists rot and insect damage, which matters over the life of a fence exposed to Melbourne’s wet winters and dry summers. Rails are sized to suit whichever height you’re building to, so let us know your fence height when ordering so you get the right length.
Posts
Posts carry the structural load of your fence, so getting the right timber matters. We stock both cypress and hardwood posts, sized to suit standard and taller fence heights. If you’re building anything above the standard 1.65m height, talk to us about post sizing, taller fences need sturdier posts to stay stable in wind. See our full breakdown of paling fence heights to work out what suits your property.
Quantities and Ordering
| Fence Component | What Determines Quantity |
|---|---|
| Palings | Total fence length and paling width/spacing |
| Rails | Fence height (2-3 rails per standard height, more for taller fences) |
| Posts | Fence length, with posts typically every 2.4m to 3m |
| Capping | Total fence length, if adding a finished top edge |
These are general guides, actual quantities depend on your specific fence layout. We’re happy to run through your measurements with you before you order.
DIY Supply or Full Package
We supply materials either as a straightforward DIY order, or as a full paling package covering posts, rails, palings and plinth in one go. If you’re supplying your own contractor, we can also work directly with them on quantities and delivery timing. Either way, the materials are the same quality, treated pine and cypress or hardwood, whether you’re building it yourself or handing it to a trade professional. If you’re budgeting for the job, our paling fence cost guide breaks down typical pricing by fence length and height.
Delivery Across Melbourne
Paling fencing supplies can be delivered across the Melbourne metro area, or you’re welcome to collect directly from our Dandenong yard. If you’re ordering a full paling package for a larger job, let us know your timeline and we’ll work out delivery that suits your build schedule.
