Looking for a strong, modern and long-lasting front fence for your Sunshine Coast property? A Besser block fence offers the strength of masonry construction with the flexibility to create a finish that complements almost any home.
At Coastwide Brick & Blocklaying, we build Besser block fences across the Sunshine Coast, including complete block front fences, rendered block fences, masonry piers, boundary walls and Besser block structures designed to integrate with gates and fencing infills.
With over 25 years of bricklaying and blocklaying experience, we understand that a front fence isn’t just about creating a boundary. It’s one of the first things people see when they arrive at your property, so it needs to be built properly and look like it belongs with your home.
Whether you’re building a new home, replacing an existing fence or upgrading the front of your property, we can help create a Besser block fence that’s strong, practical and built for the long term.
Besser blocks are concrete masonry blocks commonly used for structural walls, retaining walls, fences and other masonry construction.
For front fencing, Besser blocks provide a solid foundation that can be incorporated into a range of different designs. They can be used to construct a complete masonry fence or combined with block piers, aluminium infill panels, pedestrian gates and driveway gates.
Once constructed, the blockwork can also be rendered and finished to suit the style and colour of your home.
This versatility makes Besser block front fences particularly popular for contemporary Sunshine Coast properties where homeowners want something more substantial than a standard timber or aluminium fence.
Every property is different, so we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to block fencing.
The design and construction requirements will depend on factors such as the length and height of the fence, ground conditions, property layout, gate openings and the overall design you’re trying to achieve.
Depending on your project, Besser block fence construction can include:
We focus on getting the masonry component right from the beginning, creating a strong foundation for the finished front fence.
A Besser block front fence can completely change the street appeal of a property. Rather than simply creating a boundary, blockwork can become an architectural feature that ties the landscaping, driveway, entry and home together. Besser blocks are particularly well suited to front fencing because the design can be customised around the property. You might choose solid sections of masonry for privacy, individual block piers with open fencing between them, or a combination of both. The result is a fence that feels like a permanent part of the property rather than something added as an afterthought.
One of the biggest advantages of Besser block fencing is the range of finishes available. Many homeowners choose to render their Besser block fence, creating a smooth, contemporary appearance that can be matched to the exterior colours and finishes of the home. Rendered Besser block fences work particularly well with modern and coastal architecture and can be combined with contrasting aluminium infills, gates and landscaping. The blockwork provides the structural foundation, while the final finish gives you flexibility over the overall appearance.
You don’t necessarily need a completely solid block wall to achieve the strength and appearance of masonry fencing. Besser block fence piers can be constructed at intervals along the front boundary, with fencing panels installed between them. This creates a strong architectural framework while allowing greater airflow and visibility through the fence. Depending on the design of your property, block piers can be paired with: aluminium slat fencing, vertical fencing panels, decorative infills, pedestrian gates, automated driveway gates, letterboxes and feature entry sections This is one of the most versatile ways to incorporate Besser blocks into a front fence.
Planning for gates is an important part of designing a new front fence. Whether you’re installing a pedestrian entrance, sliding driveway gate or another gate system, the masonry needs to be constructed around the required openings and overall fence design. Coastwide Brick & Blocklaying can construct the Besser block walls and piers required for your fence and work alongside the other trades involved in completing the project. This allows the masonry, fencing and gate components to come together as one finished design.
