Timber Paling Fences
Affordable privacy, built to last
A timber paling fence is Melbourne’s most popular choice for backyard boundaries – and for good reason. It’s cost-effective, provides great privacy, and blends naturally into almost any property style. At KTM Fencing, we build timber fences that not only look great on day one, but stand strong for years – no leaning posts, no wonky lines, no rough finishes.

How long will my timber fence last?
With treated pine and proper installation, a paling fence can last 20-25 years in Melbourne conditions. We use quality timber that resists rot and pests, and concrete every post for strength. Like any natural material, timber will weather over time - some homeowners choose to stain or paint for extra protection.
Do I need to stain or paint it?
Not required, but it can help extend the life and keep the fence looking fresh. We’re happy to share tips to help you with your DIY job!
What’s the standard height?
Most backyard timber fences are 1.95m – we’ll advise based on local council rules.
