Rural & Lifestyle Block Fencing

Rural fencing carries loads a suburban paling fence never sees — stock leaning on a line, wind across open paddocks, years of wire tension pulling on every corner. We build to the trade convention that actually holds: strainer posts at a minimum 200mm small-end diameter, buried to roughly half their length rather than the third a residential post gets, with a proper H-bracing or stay-block assembly at every corner, end and gate — not just a post rammed in and hoped for. Line posts go in at 4m centres for post-and-batten work, with 7 to 8 wires of 2.5mm high-tensile properly strained and 5 battens run between posts to stop stock pushing through. If the line runs near a lake, river or wetland, we'll flag whether it needs to sit back at least 3 metres from the water's edge under the Resource Management (Stock Exclusion) Regulations 2020 — a rule that catches a lot of lifestyle blocks and farms running cattle or deer. This is a genuinely different build to a residential boundary fence, priced and staged differently because the loads and the standards are different.
