Timber Pool Fencing

For those who love a natural look, timber pool fencing brings a sense of warmth and character that’s hard to match. It blends beautifully into garden landscapes, pairs effortlessly with timber decks and outdoor living areas, and adds a softer, more organic feel than metal or glass ever could.

The real appeal of timber is its aesthetic versatility. From a classic vertical paling style to a more architectural slatted design, timber fencing can be shaped to suit everything from rustic charm to coastal cool. With the right finish, it can either stand out as a feature or quietly complement its surroundings.

But beauty does come with some responsibilities.

Unlike aluminium or steel, timber needs ongoing maintenance. To keep it looking good and performing safely, it requires regular sealing, staining, or painting—especially in high-moisture or sun-exposed environments. And in bushfire-prone areas, you’ll need to select specific fire-resistant hardwoods (such as Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, or Merbau) and ensure compliance with your local Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) classification.

In terms of cost, timber can vary widely. Basic treated pine options are budget-friendly, but premium hardwoods—especially those suitable for BAL-rated zones—will be more of an investment. Still, for many homeowners, the warmth, texture, and timeless appeal of natural timber is well worth it.

The key with timber fencing is to choose the right species, the right design, and be ready to care for it over time. Done properly, it can be a stunning and compliant addition to your outdoor space, adding both style and value.
