Seven things we do, and the ones we would talk you out of
Universe Fencing Brisbane East covers the full range of residential and commercial fencing across Birkdale and the bayside suburbs. Timber, Colorbond, aluminium and glass, plus gates, retaining walls, and removing whatever is on the boundary now. Same materials and the same standards we use on every Universe Fencing job.
We work out of Birkdale across Eastern Brisbane, the Redlands and the wider South East, with full QBCC licensing (#15433253) and comprehensive insurance. Because we run an excavator and a large team, the big jobs other fencers pass on are the ones we are set up for: acreage boundaries, long runs, retaining walls and full site clearing.
Lapped paling, lapped and capped, hardwood, horizontal slat and picket. The posts decide how long a timber fence lasts, not the palings, so we run H4 treated posts and size the footings to the reactive clay rather than to a minimum. Timber also rakes, which beats steel on a sloping block.
Australian-made steel sheets between posts, with the full Colorbond colour range. Close to the bay the detail that matters is keeping the bottom edge out of wet soil, so we recommend a concrete plinth. On exposed boundaries we tighten post spacing rather than stretching it to shave the quote.
Tubular pool barriers, flat-top, blade and slat panels, and balustrades. Aluminium won't corrode, which is the whole argument near salt water. The difference between a cheap job and ours is the hardware: 316 marine-grade stainless instead of 304 that pits in a few seasons.
Frameless and semi-frameless glass pool barriers in Grade A toughened safety glass. The compliant option that does not cost you the view, which matters on bayside blocks around Birkdale, Wellington Point and Manly. We also install glass balustrades and alfresco wind screens.
Swing, double, sliding and cantilever, in aluminium, Colorbond, timber or steel frame. Welded to your opening and hung on hinges rated for the actual leaf weight. Narrow frontages through Wynnum and Manly often can't spare the swing arc, which is where sliding setups earn their keep.
Treated timber sleepers, concrete sleepers, interlocking block, besser and placed rock. Drainage is the job: aggregate backfill, geotextile and ag drain to a legal outlet. Approval thresholds differ between Brisbane City and Redland City, and we tell you which applies before we start.
Old fences taken out, concrete footings dug up, and the lot carted away and disposed of. Usually the first stage of a new fence, so the two run together and your boundary is only open for as long as it needs to be. Removal-only jobs are fine too.
Licence 15433253 is public on the QBCC register, so check it rather than taking our word. Full public liability cover on every site.
H4 posts in the ground, marine-grade stainless near the water, and footings sized to the clay we actually find when we dig.
We quote after seeing the job, and the number we give you is the number you pay. No variation on day three.
Based in Birkdale, so we know the soil, the salt air and the council requirements across the eastern suburbs and Redlands.
An excavator and a large team on the books, which means acreage boundaries, bulk removal and retaining walls are routine work for us.
Wall and fence, removal and rebuild, pool barrier and boundary. One crew, one quote, one point of contact.
