Concrete Fencing on Tamborine Mountain and in Wongawallan

In our Superior Stone Collection™, the pattern is cast from genuine stonework: a Spanish wall that masons built in the 1800s. Acid staining then gives each stone its own shade.

The stone face sits on one side and the profiled header beam detail on the other, so the wall still looks finished from the back.

Each panel weighs around a tonne and is lifted into place by crane truck, so access is the first thing we look at on a hillside block. Steep driveways, tight turns and trees along the boundary all shape how we lift panels in, and how long the job takes.

Tamborine Mountain is a plateau with its highest point at 525 metres, and Wongawallan's terrain is mountainous, with most homes in the creek valleys. Where a fence line slopes, the wall steps down between level columns. Uneven ground sometimes needs extra footings, which the quote will flag.

We drill a pier, 450mm across, at each column position rather than trenching the full length of the boundary. On a bush or garden block, that leaves far more of the ground and roots along the line alone. A galvanised steel beam goes into each pier and the column slides over it, encasing the steel in concrete.

Each panel is held in the column grooves by live joints, which allow for a little movement as the ground settles over the years. Tell us about drainage lines or water tanks near the boundary when we're pricing the job, so the piers can be placed clear of them.

Standard Superior Signature Collection™ walls are the other half of our records here. They're 50MPa concrete with ENVIROMESH fibre, profiled on both faces, and on a long rural boundary they carry one clean line from end to end while the stone goes where visitors arrive.

If you'd rather keep a view across the valley, our Superior Infill Collection™ swaps the upper section for open timber pickets, slats or wrought iron above a concrete base.
