What is the best timber to use for fencing?
The best timber depends on your budget, aesthetic preference and how much maintenance you're willing to do. Treated pine is the most affordable and commonly used option. It's pressure-treated to resist rot, termites and fungal attack, making it suitable for most residential fences. Hardwoods like ironbark, spotted gum or merbau are more expensive but extremely durable, naturally termite-resistant, and have a rich appearance that suits premium homes. If you want something budget-friendly but reliable, go with treated pine. For long-term performance and a high-end look, hardwood is a solid investment — especially for front boundaries or decorative fencing.
How long does timber fencing last in Queensland conditions?
The lifespan of timber fencing depends on the type of timber used, the quality of installation, and how well it’s maintained. In Queensland’s climate, a well-built timber fence using treated pine or hardwood can last 15 to 20 years or more. Regular maintenance, such as sealing, staining or painting, helps prevent moisture damage, termites and warping — especially important in coastal areas like Hervey Bay. Choosing H4 or H5 treated timber for posts and rails adds extra resistance to decay and ground contact. If the fence is exposed to sprinklers, garden beds or overhanging foliage, extra care is needed to avoid moisture build-up.
How often should I treat or stain a timber fence?
To keep your timber fence looking good and lasting longer, it’s best to re-stain or seal it every two-to-three years. If the timber is left untreated, it will gradually grey due to sun exposure and may become more vulnerable to splitting or water damage. Staining or sealing helps protect the timber from UV rays, moisture, and pests while enhancing its natural appearance. In coastal regions like Hervey Bay, where fences face salt air and high humidity, regular maintenance is especially important. Always clean the surface before applying a new coat, and check for signs of rot or damage during the process.
