Doug’s Fencing can supply and install 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 is butted up hard against each other to cover the galvanised or powder-coated fencing post and rail frame.
A Timber Paling Panel Fence is when a single layer of CCA pine palings is butted up hard against each other into individual panels (2350mm wide) separated by a galvanised or powder-coated post.
The flexibility of the Timber Paling fence in stains, colour and accessories gives you endless opportunities to individualise your design. Additional decorative posts tops in the form of Ball, Windsor and Acom can further enhance the presence of the Timber Paling fence design.

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.
