Let us take a glimpse at some types of wooden fence designs. All of these fences are suitable for your properties boundary fencing.
Lapped Palings
If you are a person who values privacy, then a lapped fence design is the ideal design for you. It has two layers of timber fence palings overlapping each other that are geared to reduce or eliminate the in-between palings’ gap. Usually, the paling’s back ski is about 150 mm, and it is about 100 mm wide for its top skin. This is to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the wooden fence while maintaining the top palings’ even in-between spaces.
Butt up Palings
If you want to have a wooden fence but tight in budget, you may consider having a butt fence because it is economical and may be considered a cheaper option. This is the design wherein there is no gap between the timber palings for simply the palings are being “butt” up against each other. There may be a certain drawback for this type of design, for there may be a possibility that the palings will shrink in due time.
Lapped & Capped
Neatness in appearance is the impression you can have in this design, and it is considered one of the very popular designs in Sydney. In a lapped & capped fence, you will be using 100 mm wide palings for the top in overlapping the back skin palings that usually measure 150 mm wide. To improve the fence’s appearance and have it neatly done, the palings’ top is left square. Its then treated under a pine capping running along the fences’ top.
Steel Post with Treated Pine
Recent trends show that people are already leaning towards galvanised steel posts and treated pine fences. This may be triggered by practicality for the longevity of the materials of the fence. For one, the steel post, unlike the wooden posts, does not warp and is not prone to damages brought by termites and white ants. It is also cheaper when it comes to having timber fence repairs.
Picket
There are a variety of picket fence designs that you can choose from that can enhance the homey atmosphere of your house while maintaining your privacy. This is the style that is used to block offs and returns to the side of the house. The timber used is of high quality and smooth finish that can be best enhanced through painting.
How to Timber Fencing Installation

You can have it a DIY fence, or you may opt to engage the services of professionals who got the expertise in installing timber fences. Before heading on nailing those timber fencing panels, you must do some preparatory actions and precautionary measures such as determining the actual metes and bounds of your property for you may not want to encroach your neighbour’s property, seek building permit and check regulatory measures, and codes pertaining to timber fencing this is to avoid any future legal entanglements.
If you are using a pre-assembled panel, you must divide the linear footage of fencing based on the panel length of your preferred wooden fence design. This is to estimate the number of wooden panels and wooden posts needed to build timber fences. Additional panels will be used for the remaining footage, of which you may add two panels in order to estimate the number of posts that will be needed.
Measuring and Laying Out of The Fence Posts
Measuring the perimeter of the fence can be done through the use of a string line and a batter board or a mason’s line. To complete the perimeter, you must run the string line parallel to the house, then run it in perpendicular lines and crossing the string lines in the corners.
Dig Holes
Before you dig holes for your timber fence posts, you must coordinate with your community’s local authorities regarding any regulatory measures regarding digging holes. You may opt to use a post hole digger, or you can use a two-person auger.
Position Posts
After your holes are dug, you must pour around 50kg of concrete into the base of the hole. Have the wooden post position at the middle of the hole and pour the prepared concrete mix into the hole. Let the concrete set overnight, after the concrete has set the following day you can start attaching the fence palings to the posts.
Post Caps
