☎ Call 0414 198 821Every property is different. Our picket fencing solutions can be designed around the style of your home, access requirements, site conditions and the practical way you want your fence to perform.
Picket Fencing Designed to Complement Your Property
One of the greatest advantages of timber picket fencing is its flexibility.
The design can be adapted to suit the architecture of your home rather than making the property conform to a standard fencing system.
For a traditional Geelong home, a decorative timber profile with carefully proportioned spacing can help maintain the character of the property.
For a renovated or contemporary property, a simpler square or clean-lined picket can provide the natural character of timber without making the fence look overly traditional.
Fence height, post dimensions, gate style, paint colour and spacing can also be coordinated with existing features of the home.
Our team will discuss these details during the quotation process so the finished fence is practical as well as visually appropriate.
Professional Picket Fence Installation in Geelong
Quality materials are important, but professional installation is equally important to the performance, stability and finished appearance of a picket fence.
Doug’s Fencing provides complete picket fence installation throughout Geelong and surrounding areas.
The process normally begins by inspecting the proposed fence location, discussing your requirements and taking the necessary measurements.
We can then recommend an appropriate fence configuration based on the property, access, ground conditions, design requirements and selected materials.
Once the project is approved, the fence is installed carefully with attention to alignment, structural stability, consistent picket spacing and a professional finish.

A matching gate can make a significant difference to the overall appearance of a picket fence.
Doug’s Fencing can incorporate pedestrian or property access gates designed to complement the style of your new fence.
Gate dimensions, picket profile, hardware and overall proportions should work together with the surrounding fencing so the entrance appears intentional rather than looking like an addition made afterwards.
Talk with us during your quotation about incorporating a matching gate into your picket fencing project.
Picket Fencing for Sloping Properties
Not every Geelong property has a perfectly level front boundary.
Picket fencing can often be adapted for gently sloping or uneven sites using a design that responds naturally to the terrain.
Depending on the slope and preferred appearance, the fencing may use stepped sections or another suitable construction approach.
We assess the property and site conditions before recommending the most appropriate fencing solution.
Picket Fencing, Landscaping and Retaining Walls
Fencing often forms only one part of an outdoor improvement project.
Where changes in ground level are involved, it may also be necessary to consider how a proposed fence interacts with retaining structures, gardens, pathways and landscaping.
Doug’s Fencing also provides retaining wall solutions in Geelong, allowing property owners to discuss complementary fencing and retaining-wall requirements where appropriate.

Explore Our Full GalleryPlanning a Picket Fence in Geelong? Check Local Requirements
Before installing or replacing a picket fence, property owners should consider any building, planning, boundary, heritage or neighbour requirements that may apply to their property.
The City of Greater Geelong advises that a building permit may be required for certain fences depending on their height, location and position on the property. For example, requirements may apply to higher front fences, fences near street boundaries and fencing on certain corner properties.
Property-specific planning controls may also apply, so it is important to check the requirements relevant to your individual property before commencing fencing work.
If the proposed fence forms a shared boundary, property owners should also be aware of Victorian requirements relating to dividing fences and responsibilities between neighbouring property owners.
Planning zones and overlays can also affect some properties, particularly where heritage or other planning controls apply. Victoria's VicPlan service can help property owners identify planning zones and overlays affecting a particular address.
