What is a Timber Paling Fence?

A Timber Paling Fence is a type of wooden fence constructed using vertical timber boards (known as palings) that are nailed to horizontal rails supported by fence posts. It is one of the most common and traditional fencing options in Australia, known for its simplicity, affordability, and natural look. Palings can be arranged in various styles, including butt joint, lap and cap, or lapped to enhance privacy.
