Good
quality stock fencing is crucial for effective stock handling and
vermin control. We create larger footings on strainer
and end assemblies and all gullies are anchored down with star
pickets to ensure your fence stays in place in wet conditions.
Stock and vermin proof
fencing
Nominally
of a star picket construction with 100NB straining posts and 50 NB
galvanised round diagonal bracing stays, both concreted in-ground. We
also have hardwood and treated timber options available. This
provides strong anchoring of the fence and tensioning of the wires
which leads to less movement, bending and distortion than fences
built with smaller diameter tubes.
The
star pickets are either galvanised or covered in a black protective coating and spaced at three or four
metre intervals. This creates consistent strength throughout the
fence and a consistent wire elevation. Intermediate strengthening
posts made from hardwood, treated pine, concrete or steel can be used to
reinforce the fence for larger stock such as cattle and horses.
Wire
configurations can range from a mixture of plain and barb
strands, coverings range from hinge joint and ring lock apertures, to
rabbit proof netting. This allows configuration of the ideal fence to
keep your stock type in (and vermin out).
Also
available is an above-ground Stayblock system with strainer and stay
adapters. Stayblock is an excellent bracing system which allows zero
movement throughout the lifetime of the fence, which is critical in
stock fencing construction. Installation of this system is very
simple and fast, only requiring a cordless drill to fit stays to
strainers using a simple flat-pack connection system.
We
have post and rail fences for stock control and domestic situations (when aesthetic considerations are important).
Vermin proofing
Typically
this is a netting product which is either trenched and buried at the
bottom of the fence or an additional netting curtain layered from the
bottom of the fence and covered with earth.
Stock grids.
We
supply and install stock grids including the excavation of the ramp
sump and construction of ramp footings, as well as pre-made concrete
moulds to support the stock grid.
Concrete Mowing strips
We can install concrete mowing strips to meet all sizes and fence types. Mowing strips eliminate earth contact at the base of fence posts, protect the base of the fence from wear, make mowing easier and look great.
