The treated pine fence paling is the classic choice for residential timber fencing across Victoria. Affordable, widely available and easy to work with, treated pine palings are the go-to option for homeowners and fencing contractors building a traditional timber paling fence.

FPM Building Supplies stocks treated pine fence palings in 100×12mm and 150×12mm widths for projects across Victoria.

What Is a Treated Pine Fence Paling?

A fence paling is the individual vertical board that makes up the face of a timber paling fence. Palings are nailed or screwed to horizontal fence rails, which are in turn attached to fence posts.

Our 100×12mm treated pine palings are:

• 100mm wide — the standard width for most residential paling fences
• 12mm thick — providing good rigidity while keeping weight manageable
• Treated pine — H3 or H4 treated for outdoor use and ground contact resistance

Why Choose Treated Pine?

Affordability — Treated pine is the most cost-effective timber fencing option.

Availability — Widely available and easy to source in standard sizes.

Workability — Easy to cut, nail and handle on site.

Treatment — H3 or H4 treatment provides resistance to rot, decay and insect attack in outdoor conditions.

Treated Pine vs Hardwood vs Cypress

Treated pine — Most affordable, widely available, moderate service life (15–25 years with maintenance).

Hardwood — More durable and longer-lasting than treated pine, but at a higher cost.

Cypress — Naturally resistant to rot and termites, long service life, attractive appearance.

The right choice depends on your budget, the expected service life and the level of maintenance you are willing to undertake.

How Many Palings Do I Need?

For a standard paling fence with 100mm palings installed with a small gap between each paling, you will need approximately 5–6 palings per linear metre of fence.

For a tight (no-gap) installation, you will need approximately 10 palings per linear metre.

What Else Do I Need?

A complete timber paling fence requires:

• Fence palings — 100×12mm or 150×12mm
• Fence rails — treated pine 75×50mm rails
• Fence posts — hardwood, cypress or treated pine posts
• Fence capping (optional) — 75×25mm capping along the top of the fence
• Fence plinth (optional) — at the base of the fence

FPM Building Supplies stocks all of these components.
