Our sheep and cattle fences are built using strong, high-tensile wire and/or pre-fabricated netting suited to Canterbury’s rugged farm environment.
Designed to securely contain livestock and withstand seasonal weather conditions, our fences are low maintenance and built to last, keeping your stock safe and farm running smoothly.
We understand that dairy farm fencing needs to be durable and thoughtfully designed to support the daily routines of your herd. That's why our dairy farm fences are built to work with your irrigation systems and stock movements, keeping your farm running smoothly.
Our team handles everything from large scale dairy conversions to repairs and maintenance. Repairs, maintenance, and replacement of broken fences can be scheduled for the winter months to minimise disruption.
We install deer fences built to handle the high pressures of containing deer and fawns, alongside the unique requirements that come with managing a deer operation.
Designed to keep your stock secure and your property protected, our fences are low maintenance and built to last. Deer fencing is also a great option for anyone looking for a strong boundary fence.
Post and rail fencing is a strong, traditional option that combines practicality with classic rural aesthetics. Perfect for paddocks, property boundaries and horse enclosures our timber post and rail fences are built from durable wood and fasteners that prevent twisting and rotting over time.
Expertly installed, post and rail fencing provides a lasting, attractive boundary that works hard and adds long term value to your property.
A well built entrance way makes a strong first impression and sets the tone for your property. We design and build entrances tailored to your specific needs and style, and can supply custom made gates to match.
Built using strong posts and durable materials, our entrance ways are designed to last, look great, and complement your property.
