Fencing Contractors in Buderim
Fencing That Suits Your Block
Fencing gets judged on how it looks from the street, but it fails from the ground up, usually where footings were rushed or the line wasn't set out properly on a sloping block. At BCM Builders, we work as fencing contractors in Buderim across aluminium, COLORBOND® steel, PVC, timber and glass, so the choice comes down to what suits your boundary rather than what we happen to stock. A sloping site can be stepped or raked, and the two look quite different once they're up. We'll show you both before we start.
If the fence ties into a deck or an outdoor area, our decking work can be planned alongside it. Call 0425 815 304 for a free quote.

Choosing a Fencing Material
The material usually decides itself once you know what the fence has to do.
Aluminium and glass. Both keep sightlines open, which suits front boundaries and pool surrounds where a view matters. Aluminium handles the coastal air well, and glass gives the most open result of anything we install.
COLORBOND® steel. The standard choice for privacy along side and rear boundaries, in colours that can be matched to an existing roof. Panels go up quickly once the posts are set.
Timber. Palings and slats give a warmer look and can be stained or left to grey off naturally. Timber asks more upkeep than steel.
PVC. It won't rust or need painting, which suits exposed boundaries. The trade-off is a narrower range of styles than timber or steel.
Common Questions
A sloping boundary is either stepped, where panels stay level and drop in stages, or raked, where the panels follow the ground line. Stepped fencing leaves triangular gaps under each panel, while raked fencing needs a material that can be angled, which rules some panel systems out.
Post depth depends on the fence height, the soil type and how exposed the site is to wind, so a tall privacy fence on a windy corner needs more than a low front fence. Concrete footings carry that load, and skimping on them is the most common reason a fence starts leaning.
Aluminium, glass and PVC all handle salt air well because there's nothing on them to corrode or rot. COLORBOND® steel is coated for the same conditions, while timber will last but needs sealing and periodic upkeep to stay looking sharp.
