Timber Fencing Supplier in Brisbane Provides Best Practices Guidelines for Timber Fences

Announcement posted by Narangba Timbers 15 Dec 2014

Narangba Timbers reveals why homeowners should follow Timber Queensland’s recommendations when building timber fencing in the Brisbane area.
Brisbane, QLD, 15 December 2014 - Timber decking has become ubiquitous in the Brisbane area, but one timber supplier warns homeowners that they should be aware of best practices and local council regulations before building a timber fence.

Timber fences are often used to divide properties and define boundaries. They can provide privacy from the street and from neighbours. They decrease traffic noise and can keep private conversations from being easily overheard by neighbours. They are also used to keep pets and small children from leaving the yard. Timber fences also form protective barriers from swimming pools and other areas that could represent danger to children.

Jack Kyle, owner of Narangba Timbers, a premier supplier of timber fencing in the Brisbane area, recently published a basic guide to building a timber fence on his company’s blog. Mr Kyle stressed the importance of knowing local council regulations, especially for those who own swimming pools. Mr Kyle also provided some recommended best practices from Timber Queensland, a timber industry trade group.

According to Mr Kyle, “Timber Queensland has been helping to define standards and practices for the timber industry in various forms since 1938. They are a non-profit organisation that serves as the de facto voice of the timber industry in Queensland. They represent everyone in the timber industry, from retailers such as us to plantation growers, manufacturers and builders. They have done a great job of helping the timber industry police itself and adhere to the high standards that homeowners and other consumers deserve.”

Timber Queensland updated their recommended practices for timber fences in March 2014. Their data sheet has a wealth of basic and detailed information on how to ensure that a timber fence is built in a way that it will perform well for a number of years. Mr Kyle presented the basics on his blog, preferring to leave the more technical data for those who are building a fence.

According to Mr Kyle, “Our customer service staff in charge of timber sales is second to none in the Brisbane area. They are always happy to provide any information a customer needs to ensure that their project is of the highest quality. We put basic information on our blog as a public service, but always invite those who require deeper information to call us and talk to a customer service specialist. Our staff is well-trained and can help any project go as smoothly as possible.”

According to Timber Queensland and to Mr Kyle, it is important to choose the right materials to guarantee a high-quality timber fence that will still be standing in twenty years. Mr Kyle concludes: “The best way to make sure any timber project is a success is to use the right grade of timber. There is no substitute for quality.”
