Livestock Fencing Case Study
Project Challenge
The customers request was for a perimeter fencing which had to meet challenging terrain and be strong enough to contain livestock. We worked with the client to achieve their desired outcome.
The solution
A 30+ year fence that was quick and easy to erect with minimal maintenance. Clipex all steel quick clip posts with high tensile barbed wire, strained using creosoted strainers. The black bezinal coating offered longevity, over three times longer than normal galvanised wire.
