Across New Zealand’s diverse farming landscape, fencing isn’t just a practical necessity—it’s a frontline defence for productivity, compliance, and biosecurity.
Whether you're managing dairy herds, protecting horticulture crops, or running a deer block, good fences help you protect your investment, meet regulations, and maintain access to premium markets. And with rising pressure on time, labour, margins, plus wild dogs, having the right fencing equipment makes all the difference.
Why Fencing Is a Big Deal in NZ Agriculture
🐄 Dairy & Beef
Prevent stock from damaging waterways and meet riparian fencing regulations
Improve grazing management and stock flow
Help meet environmental compliance required by processors and councils
🐑 Sheep Farming
Control stock movement across paddocks and reduce lamb losses
Maintain clear boundaries and protect breeding groups
Reduce time chasing escapes through sub-par fences
Protect your flock, wild dogs can easily kill 3-6 sheep in a night
🦌 Deer Farming
Requires high-spec netting (typically 1.9m to 2.1m high)
Ensures compliance with deer farming standards and prevents escape-related losses
🌱 Horticulture & Cropping
Protect crops from feral pests, livestock, and machinery damage
Secure high-value areas such as vineyards, avocados, kiwifruit, and vegetable plots
Help qualify for export certifications or food safety schemes
🐝 Apiculture
Protect hives from damage by stock or vehicles
Define access areas on mixed-use or leased land
