The Short Version
Fencing a school site
School work is as much about how the job is run as what gets built. The fence has to keep the boundary secure and sightlines open, and the works have to fit around students, staff and term dates.
Most school boundaries are steel picket or spear top - it holds a line, it's hard to climb, and supervision still works through it. Chainwire does the play areas, courts, bike cages and the runs where budget goes further, and gates are set where the pedestrian routes actually are.
The practical constraints matter just as much: keeping a working boundary at the end of every day, hoarding off the work area, staging the run so one section is closed before the next is opened, and doing the noisy work when it suits the school rather than the crew.
DETE specifications
Queensland Department of Education fencing specs, quoted line by line.
Staged around the school
Sections closed off and made secure daily - term, holiday or after-hours works.
Supervision kept in mind
Systems that hold the boundary without blocking staff sightlines across the grounds.
Gates where people walk
Pedestrian, service and restricted-area gates set to the real movement patterns.

FAQs
Schools questions.
The things people actually ask us before they commit to a job.
Yes - that's how most of our school work runs. We break the boundary into sections, keep each section closed off and secure at the end of every day, and program the noisier or higher-disruption work around class times, term dates or holidays as the school prefers.

"Out of five fencers I contacted to rebuild the chainlink security fencing at Big Box Self Storage, Jordan was the only one genuinely interested in doing the job and was the most reasonably priced. Jordan and his team did an amazing job - just drive to the rear carpark of Harbour Town shops to see it. Thanks again Jordan and team."
"Wood Trades installed a patio on our granny flat. It turned out exactly as we discussed. We're very happy with the quality of work Jordan completed and will contact Wood Trades as our first choice for any future jobs. Jordan was very professional - turning up on time and leaving the job site tidy. Highly recommend."
"Jordan is the best trade we have ever worked with. So friendly, on time, great communication, super tidy work site and best of all brought all of my last minute and crazy ideas to life!"
