A.  WHAT TO ORDER ?                                                                                        

Raw Machine Compressed Brushwood Panels & Finishes
Ausbrush manufactures and supplies brushwood panels and finishes in various sizes and in any quantity to suit specific framing methods and job requirements.  Sizes are subject to freight & handling, location and shipping considerations.   ausbrush approved framing methods, include standard 'inline' and 'offset' installation designs. The only system components not currently available from ausbrush are the base (concrete, timber or steel) and posts and rails (timber or steel), which should be sourced locally. We are the only Australian brushwood panel supplier to offer as an option, a specially coated  brush panel which has preservative, antifungal, pest resistant and fire retardant properties. ausbrush 'ProtaCoat' treatment/finish is only available in certain panel sizes. 'ProtaCoat' can also be purchased from ausbrush in 3.8 litre containers and applied after fence installation.

Pre-Framed Fully-Finished Modules
The pre-framed powdercoated or galvanised finish modules are shipped factory direct and a standard pallet stack on an extended pallet base, has up to 16 panels each 74kg and 1760mm x 1800mm (2400mm long sides including legs).  The packing and shipping costs are more expensive than the raw panels due to the bulk and the need to protect the powder-coated steelwork.   Part pallet quantity orders can also be supplied. Optional ausbrush 'ProtaCoat' for the brushwork.  A special coating applied before framing, which has preservative, antifungal, pest resistant and fire retardant properties.  The pre-framed modules can be supplied with this finish.

B.  WHERE TO ORDER ?

- For installations,  contact your local installer - see location map and contact details here

                                                                              . . . . . . . . ausbrush also installs in country and remote locations

- For materials  purchases - either contact your  local  installer  or  ausbrush  direct 

                                                                              . . . . . . . . most local installers do not stock the full product range

Installation prices are set by each local installer independently, to accommodate freight, materials/labour costs and margins for the location.

If you are using a local installer to supply and erect your brushwood fence, then see the installers page for a list of available contractors in your locality who buy ausbrush panel products.  These are independent businesses and may use the raw brush panels in their own framing systems or use methods commonplace to that region.  So, ensure that you are aware of exactly what is being quoted on, or ask for a quote on the recommended ausbrush "inline" or "offset" system specifications as detailed on this site and also depicted in the Installation DVD.   ausbrush  will not be held responsible for shoddy workmanship or inappropriate use of framing materials and bases etc by local installers in conjunction with ausbrush raw panel products, or be held liable for any loss resulting there-from.  It is wise practice to look at an example of a  contractor's recent work and installation and framing methods before contracting the job, so that you will know exactly the quality of work that you will receive and to which you can hold a contractor accountable.

MATERIALS ONLY ?    If you have a DIY project and need to purchase pre-framed panels or raw panels, or components and finishes - see the component listings in the tables below and the product sizes page.  For ordering contact ausbrush sales direct  email - to Hague Showell.

Overseas Orders & Quarantine

Different countries have varying import and quarantine restrictions in relation to the import of wood and natural fibre products.  Please contact us for details relating to your country.

Installation DVD    A 1hr 15min installation DVD is readily available via surface mail and provides details of frame erection, panel installation and roll top and post roll finishing for both the "inline framing" and "offset framing" installation methods.  Streaming installation video can also be viewed on this website on the 'inline' and 'offset' and 'roll top' installation pages.

Brushwood Panel Sizes    We can make panels in any width to suit job requirements.  However, the most common sizes we make in both 48 and 58mm thick panels  are 1700mm high x 1100mm wide, 1700mm high x 1800mm wide and 1700mm high x 2200mm wide panels.  The smaller 1100mm wide  panels are sized for ease of installation by 1 person and weigh around 37kg to 40kg.  The wider brush panels require 2 persons to install and weigh around 64kg for the 1800mm wide panel and 74 to 80kg for the 2200mm wide panel.  The average brushwood panel thickness is calculated by dividing a stack of panels by the number of panels in the stack  ie  48mm for our standard panel and 58mm for the thicker panel.  We now have panels available in 2130mm height for situations requiring additional privacy.

Indicative Freight Costs  Freight prices can vary widely, depending not only on the size and number of panels and brush rolls ordered, but also on whether door to door delivery is required and whether offloading is by hand, fork lift or 'tailgater'. 

The Table below lists the freight costs of a single pallet of 25 brushwood panels of size 1700mm high x 1100mm wide (with a stack height of 1500mm), to each of the mainland State capitals.   Our aim is to get product to you as cheaply as possible and where the best option for your location is for you to deal direct with your local carrier, then we will assist you in that course.

Freight to Capital Cities

Indicative prices to major centres listed below include door to door delivery for a pallet of 25 off 1700mmx1100mm panels (2.8 cubic metres) comprising 27.5 metres of fencing weighing approximately 1 tonne and with dimensions of of 1700mm long x 1100mm wide x pallet stack height of 1500mm. These narrow panels can be hand unloaded on site, but require two persons to handle off the courier truck.   Larger panel sizes can be delivered to your door, but a client provided fork lift on-site is required to unload or use of a tailgate service if available, with additional cost.

Our main carrier includes 'free' local delivery inside a zone surrounding their terminal in each major city location.   Additional local courier charges are added to the basic freight rate for deliveries outside the 'free' zones.  Our carrier does not offer a price reduction for goods collected by the client from the carriers' terminal instead of door to door delivery. The additional charges apply if hand unloading is required, relating to the time cost of the delay to the courier   i.e. the client still needs to arrange the labour to hand unload.

Freight to Country and Regional Centres

Often the best prices to country centres can be obtained by you from local carriers who have regular 'runs' or backloads from the major cities and who through their contacts can often arrange cost effective freight directly from the Adelaide terminal to your destination.

We are happy to ask our carrier for a quote to your door, or we can supply to the terminal at your nearest capital city for your collection.
