A fence is more than just a boundary—it’s a statement of style, a security feature, and a practical solution that enhances the overall appeal of your property. Whether you’re after a privacy screen for your backyard, a decorative front fence, or a durable solution for pets and kids, our expert Fencing Contractors in Cairns are here to deliver top-quality workmanship with reliable results.
At DMF Construct & Carpentry, we specialise in building custom fences tailored to your needs, style, and the tropical conditions of Far North Queensland. From timber and Colorbond to aluminium slat and pool fencing, we’ve got the right solution for every space.
Installing or replacing a fence may seem straightforward—but a poorly designed or badly built fence can cause a range of issues, from neighbour disputes to costly repairs. Our licensed fencing contractors provide expert guidance and deliver fences that are level, long-lasting, and compliant with local Cairns regulations.

Whether you’re fencing off your entire block or just want a sleek, modern front boundary, we’ll help you choose the right material, height, and finish for your home or business.
Cairns’ tropical climate—hot summers, heavy rainfall, and high humidity—means your fencing must be built with durable materials and expert construction techniques. We use weather-resistant materials and install with care, so your fence withstands the harsh elements year-round.

Every property is different, and so are your needs. Whether you need a secure backyard for pets, a decorative fence for the front yard, or boundary fencing for a new build, we offer fully customised fencing solutions that combine function with design.
Consultation & Site Visit – We assess your site, measure boundaries, and discuss your vision.
Design & Quote – We recommend materials, heights, and styles and provide a no-obligation quote.
Preparation & Removal – If needed, we’ll remove your old fence and prepare the site.
Construction & Clean-Up – We build and install your new fence efficiently and leave your site spotless.
If your site needs preparation or old structures cleared, our Demolition Services in Cairns team can assist with safe, efficient site clearing.
Fencing regulations vary depending on location, height, material, and proximity to roads or other properties. Our experienced team is well-versed in Cairns Regional Council fencing guidelines, ensuring your fence meets all legal requirements—especially for pool fencing and dividing fences between neighbours.
We’ll also assist with boundary surveys or liaising with neighbours where needed. Our goal? To make the process smooth and hassle-free from start to finish.
Not all fences need to be replaced. We offer honest advice on whether your fence can be repaired, partially replaced, or whether a full rebuild is the best long-term solution. Our team handles repairs to leaning posts, broken palings, rusted panels, or gates that no longer latch.
Looking to match your fencing with other upgrades around the home? Check out our Home Renovations Cairns services for seamless integration with your next project.
We only use premium-grade materials suited to tropical conditions. Every fence is installed using corrosion-resistant fixings and treated timber or powder-coated metals to resist weather and pests.
Treated Pine – Affordable and easy to customise
Hardwood – Strong, natural, and long-lasting
Colorbond Steel – Clean lines and low maintenance
Aluminium Slats – Sleek, private, and rustproof
Glass Panels – Great for pool areas and modern homes

Q: How long does it take to build a fence?
Most standard fences take between 1–3 days depending on the size, terrain, and materials.
Q: Do I need council approval for my fence?
Some fences do require approval, especially those over 2m or adjacent to roads or pool areas. We’ll guide you through any necessary permits.
Q: Can I build a fence on the boundary line?
Yes, but it’s important to confirm property boundaries. We recommend a property survey for accuracy and to avoid disputes.
Q: What’s the most low-maintenance fence option?
Colorbond and aluminium fencing require little to no maintenance and offer excellent durability in Cairns’ climate.
