Trusted School Fencing Specialists

Secure, compliant fencing solutions for Government and Independent Schools across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.

School fencing is essential for maintaining safety and security at educational institutions. Wood Trades delivers durable, compliant fencing solutions for both Government and Independent Schools — supplying and installing boundary fences, internal fences, gates, panels, and retaining walls designed to protect students and enhance your school's environment.

We supply and install DETE (Department of Education) spec fencing, meeting the strict standards set by Education Queensland — ensuring your school meets all safety requirements while managing foot and vehicle traffic and maintaining a welcoming appearance.

Boundary & Perimeter Fencing

We install 2.1m black spear top security fences, 1.8–2.1m chainwire fences, and 1.2m aluminium or steel fences. Gates available as swinging or sliding, with or without motorisation.

Internal School Fencing

Fencing solutions for walkways, ovals, creeks and easements, tennis courts, multi-purpose courts, pools, parent drop-off points, and carparks.

Repairs & Maintenance

We carry out repairs on chainwire and posts around courts, steel and chainwire perimeter fencing, and pool fencing where security and safety is paramount.

Fencing Types We Use in Schools

Chainwire Fencing

Cost-effective and incredibly long-lasting — it's common to find chainwire fences well over 30 years old. Ideal for courts and perimeters.

Steel Security Fencing

Palisade and Hercules steel fencing provides an excellent barrier. Can't be cut, not easily damaged, and spear-top pickets make it difficult to climb.

Aluminium, Colorbond & Timber

Specialists in aluminium, Colorbond, and timber fencing. These materials can enhance visual design and overall aesthetic while remaining highly functional.
