Safe and secure school fencing is becoming increasingly important for schools and educational institutions. We work with both Government and Independent Schools across South East Queensland, installing boundary and internal fencing, gates, panels and retaining walls.
We supply and install DETE spec fencing, which means it complies with the Education Queensland Departments specifications. This type of fencing helps to ensure schools are safe for children, assists with foot and vehicle traffic and looks appealing.
We also install Chainwire, Aluminium and Colorbond Fencing based on individual requirements.

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.
