Aluminium Fencing in Logan, Made at Our Slacks Creek Yard

For a domestic fence up to 2 metres high, generally no building approval is needed in the Logan City Council area, which is why most of the fences we make for Springwood and Daisy Hill are 1800 mm high. If you want something taller, or the fence will sit on top of a retaining wall on a cut-and-fill block, treat it as a check-with-council job before you order and ring council on 07 3412 3412. Estate covenants in the newer estates can also set front fence height, style and colour, so read yours and bring it to the quote. Our fence height rules guide covers the state-wide picture in more detail.

Not Logan City Council. Council has no authority over dividing-fence disputes; they run under the Neighbourhood Disputes (Dividing Fences and Trees) Act 2011, and QCAT decides when neighbours cannot agree. In practice most Woodridge jobs start with a conversation over the fence and a written notice to contribute, and the fastest way to make that conversation easy is a firm quote. FY Fencing will measure the shared boundary and price the panels, posts and gates so you have a real number to put on the notice, and our notice to contribute guide explains the form and the timing.

No. Logan City Council is not an adjoining owner, so it does not contribute to a fence between parkland and a residential lot. That fence is yours to build and pay for. It is also the most exposed side of the block, with nobody maintaining anything on the other side, which is a good argument for aluminium over timber: no rust, no rot, a 10 year warranty on the aluminium, and bolt-on panels that swap out on their own if a branch comes down. FY Fencing can quote a park-side run in Logan Central as supply-only or as measure, make and install.

Yes, and pickup is free. The yard and showroom are at Unit 2/3363 Pacific Hwy, Slacks Creek QLD 4127, open Monday to Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm and Saturday 9:00am to 3:00pm, closed Sunday. Standard panels, posts, caps, brackets and hardware are usually on the shelf, and a custom size ordered today is often ready to collect tomorrow. Ring 0478 577 688 before you drive over so the order is packed and waiting, and bring a ute or trailer, because a 2400 mm panel will not fit in a hatchback. Delivery across South East Queensland is available at a charge quoted per suburb.

Panels start from $279 for horizontal slat, from $368 for vertical picket and from $399 for welded vertical blade, all 2400 mm wide (vertical picket 2350 mm) at 1200 mm or 1800 mm high. Posts start from $42 and pedestrian gates from $295. Driveway gates are quote only, because width, fall and motor change every job. Your total depends on run length, height and how many gates, so send measurements or book a free measure and FY Fencing will send a written quote that is valid for 30 days. Supply-only prices are wholesale; an installed quote covers the measure, the panels and the labour.

No. FY Fencing does not supply pool fencing or pool-safety barriers, and we do not quote them, in Logan or anywhere else. Our panels and gates are boundary, front and privacy fencing, and a pool barrier is a separate product with its own compliance rules, so please use a business that specialises in pool barriers for that part of the job. If a pool is only one part of your block, we are happy to quote the boundary and driveway sections and leave the pool side to the pool barrier installer, and we will say so plainly on the quote.

Most front fences we make in Shailer Park and Rochedale South are horizontal slat at 1200 mm or 1800 mm high, because the slats read well on a sloping frontage and a raked or stepped panel follows the fall without looking patched. Vertical picket suits an older weatherboard or brick front where you want to see through to the garden, and welded vertical blade gives the most privacy and the most rigid panel. All three come in Black (Night Sky), Monument and White, and the Slacks Creek showroom has panels side by side, which is worth the short drive before you commit to a colour.

We measure it ourselves rather than asking you to guess the fall. On a Daisy Hill ridge the panels are either raked, so the rails follow the slope, or stepped, so each panel stays level and drops a set amount at the post. Raked panels suit a gentle, even fall and stepped panels suit a steep or uneven one. Because the panels are welded locally to suit the terrain, we can make each panel to the height that its own section of ground needs, which a one-size flat-pack panel cannot do. Bring photos of the fence line to the quote and we will suggest which way to go.

Springwood is full of short, steep driveways, and on those a swing gate hits the rising concrete before it is halfway open, so a sliding gate that runs along the fence line is the usual answer. A sliding gate needs clear room beside the driveway, a little more than the gate width, for it to slide into. Where the block is flat and there is no side room, a single or double swing gate works instead. FY Fencing makes both to order, assembled or fully welded, and the measure and quote are free, so ask us to look at the driveway before you decide.

Yes. Sliding gate motors start from $770 and swing gate motors from $1,100, and we fit them as part of an installed job in Loganholme, Cornubia and the rest of Logan. The power connection is not included, so you arrange an electrician to run power to the motor and we set the gate, the track and the motor. On a sloping driveway the footings and ground clearance are what make or break an automated gate, which is why we prefer to install automated gates rather than sell the motor on its own, though supply-only kits are available.

Yes. A supply-only kit is panels, posts, caps, brackets and hardware at wholesale prices, with a pedestrian gate, or an assembled or fully welded driveway gate, if you want one, collected free from the Slacks Creek yard or delivered for a per-suburb charge. We cut custom widths and heights, so send a sketch with measurements and we will list exactly what you need. Confident DIYers and the trades working across Logan use this option every week. If you would rather not dig the footings yourself, the same kit can be quoted as measure, make and install instead, with the panels made to your block.

Custom panels are made at Slacks Creek, and many custom orders are ready the day after they are placed, so the wait is usually for the install slot rather than the materials. The install itself for a Marsden or Crestmead boundary run depends on the length, the fall and whether an old timber fence has to come out first, and wet weather or heavy clay footings can add a day. We give you a start date with the quote and confirm it before we come out, and if the job includes an automated gate the electrician can be booked for the same week.

Ten years on the aluminium, the same in every Logan suburb whether you buy supply-only or installed. Aluminium does not rust, so the usual failure points of a fence in a humid climate are not there, and a panel that is damaged by a car or a falling branch is unbolted and replaced on its own rather than the whole run coming down. Keep your quote and invoice, because the warranty follows the purchase, and give the powder coat a rinse now and then so grime does not sit on it.

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do in Kingston and Underwood, where a lot of the original timber is past saving. We pull out the old fence, dig new footings and set aluminium posts and panels, or if you are going supply-only we make the panels to the same run for you to fit. If the fence is a shared boundary, start by talking to your neighbour and, if needed, serving a notice to contribute, and our guide on that explains the steps. A firm quote from us makes that conversation a lot easier for both of you.

Yes. Delivery across South East Queensland is quoted per suburb, so Beenleigh at about 17 km, Waterford at about 14 km and Jimboomba at about 30 km each get their own delivery figure on the quote. Yard pickup from Slacks Creek is free if you have a ute or trailer that can take a 2400 mm panel, and posts, caps and brackets come bundled with the panels. We also measure, make and install in all three, so if the job includes a driveway gate on a sloping drive it can be easier to let us bring everything and fit it in one visit.

Cash, bank transfer, or credit and debit card in store at the Slacks Creek yard. Card payments are in store only, so if you are having a kit delivered to Browns Plains or Beenleigh, bank transfer is the simplest way to settle before it leaves the yard. Quotes are written and valid for 30 days, so you can take one home, check it against the covenant or talk it over with a neighbour on a shared boundary, and come back to it without the price moving. Keep the invoice, because the warranty follows the purchase.

The yard and showroom are at Unit 2/3363 Pacific Hwy, Slacks Creek QLD 4127, on the Pacific Highway minutes from the Springwood and Underwood exits of the M1, and a short run from Logan Hyperdome and Underwood Marketplace. Hours are Monday to Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm and Saturday 9:00am to 3:00pm, closed Sunday. You can see slat, picket and blade panels in Black, Monument and White side by side, pick up an order, or sit down with measurements for a quote. Phone 0478 577 688 or (07) 3803 1098, or email info@fyfencing.com.au to book a measure.
