Welcome to Makemohr
Are you looking for more than a basic fence? Do you want to add a decorative and impressive feature to your home? Makemohr is your team. Our fences are designed for kerb appeal; standing out among the rest. Our range of deluxe fencing is one of the most effective ways to transform the front of your home or your backyard.
Makemohr is here to disrupt the fencing industry with a uniquely beautiful and inventive style. We believe that a fence should be a feature to a home, rather than a simple boundary. But whether the design is basic and economical, or something more grand, the Makemohr difference is always recognisable.

Sustainability Initiative
While large civil construction projects almost always have an environmental management plan, small-scale construction projects can often neglect their environmental responsibility as it flies under the radar. We aim to encourage environmental consideration in small-scale construction projects. In 2023, we have the intelligence to offset this side effect of construction. Our team devotes resources to ensure that our work has a positive impact on the earth.
One tree planted for every fence post.
Built to last
Although we talk a lot about our presentation and aesthetic, we go above and beyond to ensure that our products are durable too. With structural engineering on our team, the longevity of a Makemohr product can be trusted. The strongest foundations; the highest quality materials; the closest attention to detail – that is Makemohr.
We provide expert advice on how to optimise the balance between design aesthetic and practicality. Our team has a great understanding of how your project may be affected by the sun, severe weather events, ground conditions, pests and more.
About us
Fences can offer homeowners a variety of practical benefits such as privacy, security, safety, concealment, and to establish boundaries. We believe that fences should satisfy two categories of purpose. The first being purely utilitarian, providing the benefits already listed, but the second being for aesthetic appeal. With a passionate desire to bring this to the Brisbane market, we founded Makemohr Constructions in September 2021.
Just because a fence has an important job to do, this doesn’t mean that character needs to be neglected. It is truly amazing what a well-designed fence can do for the appeal of a home or backyard. Starting out small, our purpose is to spread this message and our designs throughout Brisbane and beyond.
While we are motivated to change the aesthetic and quality of the fencing industry, we don’t plan on stopping there. As a small-scale construction company, we wish to promote sustainability. While large civil construction projects almost always have an environmental management plan, small-scale construction projects can often neglect their environmental responsibility as it flies under the radar. As our field of influence grows, we aim to encourage environmental consideration in small-scale construction projects.
Starting out with just the two of us, we have since expanded our team. This has given us more power to achieve our goals. We are a constantly growing team of highly motivated, young professionals with a desire to create positive change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
We definitely recommend painting any new timber fence. We use high quality treated pine for our timber projects, designed to withstand termites and deterioration. However, the timber is still prone to weathering effects such as warping and discoloration if left unpainted. The paint will increase the lifetime of your timber fence significantly. Makemohr also offers painting of all projects.
If you are going to build a fence between your and your neighbour’s property, you should give your neighbour a letter telling them about the fence, how it will be built and the estimated cost— including their contribution. This is called a notice to fence. You must get at least one quote. If your neighbour thinks the quotes are too high, they can obtain their own quote.
Each neighbour is liable for half the cost of fencing work. However, where one neighbour wants more work done than is necessary for a ‘sufficient dividing fence’ they pay the extra cost.
For example, if your neighbour needs a higher fence to keep their dog from getting out, they should pay the extra cost or provide extra materials and labour to build the fence to the height they need it above what is ‘sufficient’ for your needs.
Retaining walls are not classed as fences under the Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Act 2011. Retaining walls are built to support built up or excavated earth. They are normally not a matter of joint responsibility for neighbours as they are usually benefit one neighbour more than the other. However, QCAT can make orders about fencing disputes that includes work on a retaining wall if the repair of the fence will also require work on the retaining wall.
- There should be a ‘sufficient’ dividing fence between properties if an adjoining owner requests one—even if one or both pieces of land are empty.
- Usually neighbours must contribute equally to the cost of building and maintaining a dividing fence.
- You should not attach anything to a dividing fence that could damage it.
- In most cases, issues about dividing fences need to be solved by the owners of the properties. If you are a tenant, unless you have a long-term lease on the land, you should refer queries over a dividing fence to the property owner or agent.
A dividing fence is considered ‘sufficient’ if the fence:
- is between 0.5 metres and 1.8 metres high
- is constructed mainly of ‘prescribed material’. This can be:
- wood, including timber palings and lattice panels
- chain wire
- metal panels or rods
- bricks
- rendered cement
- concrete blocks
- hedge or other barrier made from vegetation
- other material that fences are ordinarily constructed from
- can restrain the type of livestock grazed on either neighbours’ adjoining pastoral land.
It is also ‘sufficient’ if you and your neighbour agree it is, or QCAT decides it is sufficient. (QCAT takes into account specific factors such as the types of fences found in the neighbourhood.)To work out what makes a sufficient fence for your circumstances, start with what you need to divide the properties—for example, a short chain wire fence may be decided to be sufficient, but if one owner wants more, then they pay the difference.
To help make your pool fence or barrier compliant:
- replace, tighten or adjust the hinges on your gates
- ensure the pool barrier height is at least 1200mm from bottom to top
- trim back any vegetation or branches that a child could use to climb over the pool barrier
- shield or remove climbable objects within 900mm of the pool barrier
- install fixed security screens on windows that open into the pool enclosure
- remove climbable objects from the pool barrier and surrounding areas.
