Rural Fencing

Fencing Specialists provide fencing that supports livestock management, property protection, and land control across rural areas.

Our fences help contain animals, prevent unauthorised access, and reduce property damage. Each fence is installed to support long-term farm operations and site-specific needs.

Rural Fencing Options

Barbed Wire Fencing

Used to manage livestock such as sheep and dogs. It prevents animals from pushing through boundaries and deters unauthorised entry.

Fencing Functions and Use

Compliance With NSW Government Standards

Rural fencing must follow regulations set by state and local authorities. Fencing Specialists install fencing that meets:

  • NSW Department of Primary Industries fencing guidelines for livestock management and land use.
  • Local council regulations regarding land zoning, fencing height, and boundary placement.
  • Workplace safety laws to prevent hazards for workers and landowners. Following these rules helps prevent fines, supports livestock safety, and ensures fences are legally compliant.

Factors to Consider Before Installation

Important considerations before choosing fencing include:

Animal Behaviour

Some animals may jump, dig, or press against fences. Fences must address these actions.

Land Conditions

Terrain, weather, and soil type impact fence performance and installation methods.

Fence Strength and Height

Larger animals require stronger, taller fences with higher tension.

Cost and Maintenance

Balancing installation costs with long-term maintenance needs helps ensure durability.

Fence Installation and Maintenance Process

Property Review

Examine land, terrain, and animal movement to determine fence placement.

Fence Setup

Secure posts and tension wire or rail materials to suit specific livestock and land use.

Ongoing Maintenance

Inspect for damage, secure loose wires, and repair worn components.

Inspection Timing

Sites with high traffic or water access may need more frequent checks.
