Sheep & Cattle Fencing

Our sheep and cattle fencing solutions use strong, high-tensile wire and pre-fabricated netting carefully selected to suit Canterbury’s rugged farm environment.

These fences are designed to securely contain livestock like sheep and beef cattle, reducing the risk of escapes and damage.

Built tough to withstand the weather and farm activities, they're designed to minimise maintenance needs and keep your stock safe and controlled season after season.

Dairy Farm Fencing

We understand that dairy farm fencing needs to be durable and thoughtfully designed to support the unique daily routines of your herd.

We use materials that strike the right balance between your budget and strength. By integrating fencing solutions that complement your farms irrigation and stock movements, we help keep your farm running smoothly without added hassle.

Repairs, maintenance, and replacing broken posts and fences are a vital part of this service. We can schedule this work for the winter months to minimise disruption. We can also assist with ongoing upgrades to ensure your fencing continues to meet your farm’s needs.

Deer Fencing

We install deer fences that are tailored to meet the high pressure that deer can put on fences, alongside the unique requirements that are involved with handling deer.

We install robust fencing systems that keep deer safely enclosed. Designed to handle the agility and strength of deer and fawns, our fences provide peace of mind by protecting your valuable stock and maintaining the integrity of your farm.

Deer fencing isn't only a solution for containing deer, it is also a great option to secure your property.

Post and Rail Fencing

Post and rail fencing offers an attractive, yet strong and traditional option that combines practicality with classic rural aesthetics.

Perfect for paddocks, horse enclosures, and marking property boundaries, our timber post and rail fences are crafted from durable, high-quality wood and fasteners that prevent twisting and rotting over time.

Expertly installed, this style provides a lasting, attractive boundary that not only works hard but enhances your property's overall appearance and adds long lasting value.

Entrance Ways

Creating a stylish, functional and welcoming entrance way to your property is crucial for first impressions and security.

We design and build robust entrances tailored to your property's specific needs and style. We also can supply custom made gates to match. 

Using strong posts and durable materials, our entrance ways provide easy access while offering reliable security and an inviting look that complements your property.
