Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fencing is best for farms?
The best fencing for farms depends on your property type and needs. For cattle, heavy-duty wire and strong timber or steel posts are recommended to withstand pressure. Sheep and goats require netting or mesh fencing to prevent escape, while horses often need safer options such as post-and-rail or equine mesh to reduce injury risks. Cropping properties benefit from exclusion fencing to keep out pests like kangaroos and wild dogs. Every farm has different priorities, so the best choice balances durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
How long does rural fencing usually last?
The lifespan of rural fencing varies based on the materials used, installation quality, and environmental conditions. Steel posts with heavy-duty wire can last 20–30 years if maintained properly, while untreated timber posts may only last 10–15 years. Galvanised products tend to resist rust and wear better in coastal areas. Regular inspections, tensioning wires, and replacing damaged posts all extend the life of fencing. In many cases, professional installation ensures the fence is set securely and built to handle long-term use.
How much does rural fencing cost per kilometre?
Rural fencing costs can vary significantly depending on the type of fencing, materials, and terrain. As a rough guide, plain wire fencing may start from $2,000–$3,000 per kilometre, while more complex mesh or post-and-rail fencing can reach $10,000 or more. Costs also depend on site conditions—rocky ground or steep areas require more labour and specialised machinery. Investing in higher-quality materials can increase upfront costs but often saves money in the long run due to reduced maintenance and longer durability.
