Timber fences can provide an effective means of:
- defining property boundaries
- providing privacy from the street or neighbors
- confining pets
- reducing traffic noise
- screening from sun and wind
- providing a safety barrier around swimming pools or other hazards.
This data sheet provides recommendations for the construction of domestic timber fences up to 1800 mm high. It contains suggested paling sizes and configurations for the different applications
REGULATIONS, COVENANTS ETC.
There are various Government Acts, Local Authority planning and building regulations, as well as possible site covenants which could restrict or otherwise dictate the location, height, and/or construction of fences. Compliance with these regulations is necessary. There are special requirements for safety fences around swimming pools. It is necessary to reach prior agreement with neighbours regarding the fencing type, height etc, as well as the sharing of costs.
SITING
The correct property alignments (i.e. location of survey pegs) should be established before setting out boundary fencing. Unless otherwise agreed with neighbors, the center-line of posts should be positioned on the boundary line.
Species Selection
To achieve a satisfactory service life, the following timber is recommended for fencing:
- Cypress – Sapwood in posts shall be limited to 20% of cross section and a maximum of 1/3 the width on adjoining faces.
- Hardwood – Posts – In-ground Durability Class 1 or 2 – Rails & Palings – Above Ground Durability Class 1 or 2
- Preservative treated pine.
Timber Quality
There is no Australian Standard or other grading requirements for fencing timber and the quality and cost can vary between different suppliers. Timber sold for fencing could contain certain natural characteristics (knots, gum veins, minor insect damage, want, wane, etc.) and some movement (cupping, twisting etc.) can be expected. This timber quality is generally acceptable for domestic fencing situations. Where a higher than normal appearance or performance is required for fencing, a higher quality timber should be specified. For posts and railings, structurally graded timber (e.g. cypress F5, hardwood F11, treated pine F5 or MGP10) could be used. For palings the following limitations could be specified:
- No loose or unsound knots
- No decay or insect galleries
- No heart or pith
- Gum, latex or resin pockets not to extend from one surface to another
- Sound knots not to exceed 50% of face width
Preservative Treatment
All pine and hardwood containing sapwood shall be preservative treated. Posts (and plinth boards where used) shall be treated to a minimum hazard level H4. Palings, rails, cappings etc., shall be treated to a minimum hazard level H3.
Installation of posts
For most soil conditions, posts shall be set into ground approximately 450 mm deep for fences up to 1200 mm and 600 mm deep for fences between 1200 mm and 1800 mm high. Post holes shall be aminimum 300 mm diameter
