We are very happy with our boundary fence! Hamid came over for a quote very soon after my inquiry and the price was competitive. I was very appreciative of his expertise and guidance throughout the whole process – especially as we needed to change some specifications on the fence and also when we encountered a hiccup mid-build. Hamid and his team finished the job in 2 days and the workmanship is fantastic. The team was so professional and very easy to communicate with throughout, even sending me photos when I inquired about certain things as I was at work and not on site. I would 100% recommend Master Groups and I will no doubt be reaching out to the team again.

My fence was falling over due to rotted post. Master Groups were able to come and fix within 3days. None of the other ppl who had ads on Google could do such a quick turnaround. The price was competitive. Their painter Peter was also a handyman which was perfect as I had a other things to get done. Both Hamid and Peter were very polite which is a rare trait for a tradie! I will definitely get them to do more work.

Hamid, arrived on time to measure for a quote. He was very professional and knowledgeable. The cost to install a new fence was not the lowest but I had confidence that Master Groups would do a good job based on Hamid’s presentation. The installation went smoothly and on time. Any issues that arose were delt with efficiently and without extra cost. I would highly recommend Hamid and his team for any future work and, in fact, have already contracted with him to replace a large gate on the property.

What We do

About Timber Paling Fences

Timber paling fences are made with vertical timber boards (palings) fixed to horizontal rails, supported by posts. They are widely used across Sydney because they offer good privacy, are relatively affordable, and suit both modern and traditional homes.

We install paling fences in a range of heights (commonly 1.5m to 1.8m) and styles. We can also include gates, capping, and lattice extensions where required.

Proper installation is important. Poorly built paling fences often lean, have gaps, or rot quickly at the base. We focus on strong posts, correct spacing, and proper treatment to give you a fence that stays straight and lasts.

Benefits of a Timber Paling Fence

  • Good privacy and security
  • Natural timber look that blends with gardens and homes
  • More affordable than many other fence types
  • Easy to repair or replace individual palings
  • Can be stained or painted to match your property
  • Suitable for both front and rear boundaries

Types of Timber Paling Fences We Install

  • Treated Pine Single Paling – Palings are installed with small gaps for a traditional look.
  • Treated Pine Lapped Paling – Palings are overlapped for better privacy and wind resistance.
  • Treated Pine Lapped & Capped Paling – Overlapped palings with a neat timber capping on top for a cleaner, more finished appearance.
  • Treated Pine Picket Fence – Spaced pickets with a decorative top, commonly used for front boundaries.
How We Do It

Our 3-Step Timber Paling Fence Installation Process

We follow a simple and proven process to ensure your timber paling fence is installed correctly and built to last.

1

Site Preparation & Post Installation

We begin by marking out the fence line and removing any existing fence if required. We then install treated timber or concrete posts, set in concrete at the correct depth and spacing. This step is critical for strength and long-term stability, especially on sloping or uneven ground.

2

Rails & Paling Installation

Once the posts are secure, we fix the horizontal rails. We then install the palings according to your chosen timber paling fence for your front or backyard.

3

Finishing

We complete the fence by installing any capping, gates, or lattice extensions. The site is then cleaned and all materials are removed.

What Our Clients Say About Their New Paling Fence

Hear directly from Sydney homeowners about their experience with our treated pine paling fence installation service.

We got a treated pine lapped paling fence installed by Master Groups in Turramurra. The team did an excellent job with the timber paling fence installation. It looks neat, has good privacy, and the posts are very solid. Highly recommend them for paling fence installation in the North Shore area.

Jun Pi, Turrumurra

Very happy with our new treated pine paling fence in Pymble. We wanted a clean look for the front yard, so they installed a picket style timber paling fence. The installation was quick, the fence is straight, and it has really improved the street appeal of our property.

James Wilson, Pymble

We needed a new boundary fence and chose Master Groups for the timber paling fence installation in Wahroonga. They recommended lapped and capped paling, which looks much better than a standard paling fence. The quality of the treated pine is good and the whole job was completed professionally with no mess left behind.
