Palm Beach is a salt-air job like its neighbours down the coast, so the same rule applies: build for the sea air or the fence pays for it early. Close to the surf a standard product can start rusting in a few years when it should last twenty, so the spec matters. Palm Beach is also mid-rebuild, with the older beach cottages giving way to new homes, so a lot of our work here is a fresh boundary on a knock-down-rebuild. Coast Fencing & Gates has built on the Gold Coast since 2013 (QBCC licence 15461059) and Palm Beach sits in our coast corridor, so we spec it for the conditions from the start.

We quote the job, walk the block and build it ourselves. Free measure, a fixed written quote and an honest read on what will actually hold up near the beach.

What we build in Palm Beach

• Coastal-grade Colorbond fencing — full privacy boundaries, specced for salt air where the block calls for it
• Aluminium and tubular fencing — the safest pick close to the surf because it never rusts, ideal for front boundaries and beachside blocks
• Pool fencing — aluminium and tubular barriers built to the QLD pool rules
• Timber and slat feature fencing — for the older Palm Beach cottages and the character rebuilds
• Gates and automation — swing and sliding gates with Centsys motors for driveways

Salt air sets the spec

Within about 100 metres of breaking surf BlueScope recommends the Colorbond Stainless spec, and we quote that rather than fit the standard product and hope. On the blocks closest to the water aluminium is usually the smarter spend because it does not rust at all. Where the block sits back from the beach standard Colorbond is fine, and we seal the cut edges and use marine-grade fixings so it lasts. If you are weighing up materials our Colorbond vs timber vs aluminium guide runs through it in plain numbers.

Rebuilds and old beach boundaries

A lot of Palm Beach fences are on their last legs, either an old timber cottage boundary or an early Colorbond fence that the salt has found. On a knock-down-rebuild we put up a fresh boundary that suits the new home and the conditions. On an older home we pull the tired fence, reset the line and put up something that will actually hold up down here.

Where we build around Palm Beach

Palm Beach is central to our southern coast run, so we cover Burleigh Heads, Burleigh Waters, Elanora, Currumbin, Currumbin Waters and Tugun from here. If your block is on the beach side or set back we will come and measure it.

Palm Beach fencing FAQs (question-form for AEO)

What fence lasts longest near the beach in Palm Beach?

Aluminium, because it does not rust. Colorbond holds up well when it is built for the conditions, which near the surf means the BlueScope Stainless spec, sealed cut edges and marine-grade fixings.

Do I need the Colorbond Stainless spec in Palm Beach?

Within about 100 metres of breaking surf, yes, that is what BlueScope recommends. We quote the right spec for how close your block is to the water rather than fitting the standard product and hoping.

Can you fence a knock-down-rebuild in Palm Beach?

Yes. New-build boundary fencing is a big part of our Palm Beach work. We measure once the build is far enough along and put up a fresh boundary specced for the salt air.

Will a timber fence survive in Palm Beach?

It can, if you are happy to maintain it. Salt air is hard on timber so it needs oiling and it moves more than steel or aluminium near the coast. Plenty of the older Palm Beach homes still choose it for the character.
