Postline Fencing Co. Rural & Post-and-Rail Fencing
Rural fencing is a different job to a suburban boundary, and it lives or dies on the strainers. We dig corner and strainer posts deep and concrete or stay them so the whole run stays tight through stock pressure and reactive ground. Post-and-rail for the look, ringlock and wire for stock, and full boundary runs across acreage with gates wide enough for machinery.
What this job includes.
- ✓Post-and-rail fencing for acreage frontage and paddocks
- ✓Plain, barbed and ringlock stock fencing
- ✓Full rural boundary runs across long spans
- ✓Strainer and corner posts dug deep and concreted or stayed
- ✓Machinery-width gates and fencing that follows the contour
Priced by the metre, itemised line by line.
The metres, the height and the material named, the post type and footing depth, gates, old-fence removal, and the boundary note if it is a dividing fence. Not one round number for a fence.
- 1 Metres, height and material. The price broken down by linear metres, the fence height, and the material named: the Colorbond colour, or the timber type and grade. Not one round number for "a fence".
- 2 Post type and footing depth. The post type, the footing depth, and that the posts are set in concrete, dug deeper for reactive clay and sloping ground. This is the line cowboys skip.
- 3 Panels, rails and fixings. The panel or paling spec, the rail layout, and the fixings. Lapped-and-capped, standard, or good-neighbour, stated so you know which side gets what.
- 4 Gates, itemised. Each gate its own line: pedestrian or driveway, the hardware, and whether automation is included or quoted separately once we see the opening.
- 5 Old-fence removal and tip fees. Removal, the old posts pulled or cut off, and the tip fees, each a line, never folded into a round number or sprung on you at the end.
- 6 The boundary-cost note. If it is a dividing fence, a plain-English note on how the cost splits with the neighbour, and a quote you can put in front of them.
- 7 Warranty and compliance. The 10-year posts and footings warranty in writing, the Colorbond materials warranty, and the AS 1926.1 compliance paperwork where a pool fence is involved.
What happens, step by step.
Free measure and set-out
We measure the boundary, check the soil and the slope, mark the line and talk through material and height, then put a written quote in your hands.
Itemised quote
The honest quote: metres, height and material, the post type and footing depth, gates, old-fence removal, and the boundary-cost note if it is a dividing fence.
Materials and start date
You sign off the material, the colour and the scope. We order, confirm the install window, and book the dig, working in any neighbour and council notices.
Remove and set the posts
We take down the old fence, cart it away, then dig footings to depth and set the posts in concrete. The footings cure before anything hangs off them.
Panels, rails and gates
Once the footings are set, the panels or palings and rails go on, raked to follow the slope, and the gates are hung, automated and tested where fitted.
Clean-up and handover
We clear the site, walk you around the finished fence, hand over the warranty in writing and any pool-compliance paperwork, and set up the gate remotes.
The paperwork behind the price.
Public liability to $20M, and a 10-year posts & footings, all in writing, all on request.
We hold a QBCC fencing licence in Queensland and a NSW Fair Trading licence across the border, and we carry public liability insurance, so you are covered on site. The guarantee is a 10-year written warranty on the posts and footings, the part that fails first, plus the genuine Colorbond and BlueScope manufacturer materials warranty where the fence is steel. All in writing, with exclusions named.
