Fencing

Fencing defines boundaries physically, legally, and visually. At Exact Carpentry, we build timber fences and privacy screening structures that hold up to Launceston conditions. Whether the job requires treated pine paling, stained hardwood, or a tailored screening system to block wind and sightlines, we construct each section with sound layout, proper footing, and real longevity in mind.

Our fencing work is site-measured and post-aligned for visual consistency and structural reliability. We assess soil conditions, slope, and setback limits before install, ensuring your new fence complies with council guidance and matches your property layout cleanly. If approvals or neighbour agreements are required, we’ll flag that before quoting, no surprises.

What We Offer

• Boundary and privacy fencing in treated pine or hardwood
• Feature timber screens and wind blocks
• Post installation with concrete footing and alignment checks
• Removal and disposal of aged or damaged fencing
• Staining, sealing, and finish protection suited to exposure
• Height matching, sloped ground adjustments, and stepped layouts

We treat fencing as structure not decoration. If it’s meant to last, it needs proper drainage, bracket fixing, and upright geometry from end to end. That’s exactly how we build it.

We don’t hide flaws with paint. We build fences that stand straight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you supply all materials, or install client-sourced fencing?

We do both. If you’ve purchased timber or panels, we’ll inspect for suitability before install. Otherwise, we quote supply and build together.

Do I need council permission for boundary fencing?

In most residential areas, fences under 2.1m may not require formal approval, but we always advise on height, setback, and shared boundary compliance.

Can you remove my old fence before building?

Yes. We handle full removal and disposal of rotten, damaged, or non-compliant fencing including concrete footings if required.

Do you build fences on sloped or uneven land?

Absolutely. We adjust layout to site contour, stepped palings, raked cuts, or customised post heights to keep lines clean.

What timber do you recommend for durability?

Treated pine offers strong performance and value. For premium finishes or exposed sites, we suggest hardwood like Merbau or spotted gum sealed against the elements.
