Steel

We stock steel posts, star pickets and bracing components in various sizes, all designed to handle local conditions. Whether you’re setting up new runs or replacing older materials, we’ll help you choose the right size, thickness and finish for durability and performance on rural properties.
Wire & Chicken Wire
Plain wire, barbed wire and chicken wire are essential for everything from paddock fences to small animal enclosures. We supply rolls in a variety of gauges and lengths, suitable for cattle, goats, poultry or general-purpose use. You’ll also find tie wire and tensioning tools to make installation easier and more secure. Not sure what type suits your setup? We’re happy to help you work it out.

Electric fencing is a reliable way to control stock movement and protect boundaries without overbuilding. We carry energisers, insulators, polywire, tape, and accessories from trusted brands like Nemtek and Thunderbird. Whether you need a full system or just replacement parts, we can supply the essentials and walk you through setup. Electric systems are flexible, easy to expand, and perfect for temporary or permanent use.
What’s the best fencing option for cattle?
Cattle fencing typically uses barbed wire or plain wire with strong steel posts and strainers. Four or five strands are common, with the bottom strand set low enough to discourage calves from pushing underneath. Barbed wire provides a physical deterrent, while plain wire can be electrified for added control. Star pickets are popular due to their durability and ease of installation. Fence strength and height should reflect the type of cattle and the level of pressure they put on boundaries.
Can I install an electric fence myself?
Yes, electric fencing can be installed by property owners using a few essential components: energisers, insulators, wire or tape, grounding rods and suitable posts. Systems can be permanent or temporary, depending on your needs. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, ensure proper earthing, and avoid contact with other materials like trees or metal gates. It's also important to consider safety signage and check your setup meets local regulations. For large setups or high-pressure areas, professional advice can help with design and layout.
What are stay kits and why are they important?
Stay kits are bracing systems that support strainer posts at fence ends, corners or gates. They’re critical for maintaining fence tension and preventing movement over time. A well-installed stay ensures the post stays upright and handles the pressure of taut fencing wires. Stay kits can include steel stays, brackets, clamps and anchors, and are especially important in long fence runs or sloped terrain. Skipping them often leads to sagging wire and costly repairs down the track.
