This ensures that your school fencing meets all safety requirements, helping to protect students, manage foot and vehicle traffic, and maintain an aesthetically pleasing environment.
Our school fencing solutions also include options like Chainwire, Aluminium, and Colorbond Fencing, tailored to meet the specific needs of each school. Whether you’re looking for robust perimeter security or internal division fencing, we have the right solution for your institution.

Types of fences we use in schools
Chainwire Fencing
Chainwire fencing is more cost effective than most other fencing options.
Chainwire fencing is also very long lasting. It’s common to find chainwire fences that are well over 30 years old.
Steel Security Fencing
With security becoming more important, a standard palisade or Hercules steel fence provides an excellent barrier to entry for your property. Unlike a chainwire fence, the fence can’t be cut. And it’s not easily damaged. The spear top pickets make the fence difficult to climb over.
Other Fencing Types
We are specialists in other types of fences and gates such as Aluminium, Colorbond and Timber. Depending on your project, these materials may be better suited from a functional standpoint, or they might help visually enhance your design and overall look.
Supply Only
If you’re planning to install your own fence, sourcing the right materials is key. At QFence, we offer a wide range of fencing supply options, ensuring you get exactly what you need, saving both time and money.
