Quality Timber Paling Fence Installation Across Geelong
Affordable, high-quality Geelong paling fencing installation services Geelong
Doug’s fencing can supplies and installs a range of attractive natural timber paling fences that give homes total privacy and a timeless aesthetic appeal.
Paling fencing – timber fencing with paling fixed to horizontal supports between upright posts – is robust and durable, and less expensive to install than some other types of fencing, which makes it very cost effective.
Timber Paling is most commonly used for property side fences exposed to the surrounding visual environment i.e. corner properties. A Timber Paling fence can be erected in Post & Rail form or as a Panel Fence. A Timber Paling Post & Rail fence is when a single layer of CCA pine palings are butted up hard against each other to cover the galvanized or powder coated fencing post and rail frame. A Timber Paling Panel Fence is when a single layer of CCA pine palings are butted up hard against each other into individual panels (2350mm wide) separated by a galvanized or powder coated post.
Timber paling fencing remains one of the most popular choices for side boundaries, rear boundaries, backyards and residential property divisions because it offers an excellent combination of privacy, durability, natural appearance and value.
Whether you are replacing an ageing boundary fence, fencing a new property or simply want additional privacy around your backyard, our experienced Geelong fence installers can help you choose a solution suited to your property.

Planning a New Paling Fence in Geelong?
Before constructing or replacing a fence, property owners should consider relevant building, planning, boundary and neighbour requirements.
Check Local Fencing Requirements
Before constructing or replacing a boundary fence, property owners should consider any applicable building, planning, boundary and neighbour requirements.
The City of Greater Geelong provides official information regarding fences and retaining walls, including circumstances where a building permit may be required.
Requirements can vary depending on factors such as the fence location, height, property type and individual site conditions.
Official Victorian Fencing Resources
For current information, property owners can refer directly to the following official government resources.
Before Your Paling Fence Installation Begins
Building, planning and dividing-fence requirements are not the same for every property. The requirements that apply may depend on the position and height of the fence, the property itself and other individual circumstances.
Property owners should therefore confirm the current requirements that apply to their particular project before construction begins. Where a shared boundary is involved, it may also be important to discuss the proposed fencing work with the adjoining property owner.

☎ Call 0414 198 821Frequently Asked Questions - Paling Fencing Geelong
A professionally installed treated pine paling fence can bring you joy for 15-20 years, while a sturdy hardwood fence can offer even more, lasting over 25 years with just a little care. Of course, how long they last really depends on your local conditions and how well you take care of them, it's all about keeping them in great shape!
Generally, a standard boundary fence up to 2 metres in height does not require a council permit. However, regulations can vary, especially for front fences or properties with specific overlays. We can advise you on this during our consultation.
"Butted" palings are placed edge-to-edge. Over time, as the timber shrinks, small gaps can appear. "Lapped" palings are overlapped, which prevents any gaps from forming, ensuring total privacy. This is a premium option.
In Victoria, under the Fencing Act, the cost of a "sufficient" dividing fence is typically shared equally between neighbours. It's always best to discuss your plans with your neighbour before commencing work. We can provide quotes that can be easily shared.
One of the biggest questions we get is: “How much does paling fencing cost in Geelong?”
The cost of a paling fence depends on several factors, including:
- Fence height (commonly 1.5m, 1.8m, or 2.1m)
- Type of timber (treated pine vs hardwood)
- Fence length and slope of land
- Style (standard, lapped, capped, or double-sided)
- Labour and material costs
On average, paling fencing in Geelong prices range from $75 to $120 per metre, depending on the specifications.
Tip: While cheaper fencing quotes may seem appealing, always choose a licensed and experienced contractor. Poorly installed paling fences won’t last and may cost more in repairs later.
At Doug’s Fencing, we believe in fair pricing and quality workmanship. We provide clear quotes with no hidden costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
