winston Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just been looking at some videos on youtube of fencing and why is it new zealand that they just use plain wire and no stock fence and maby just a strand of barb on top, would it be cheeper and easier to put up. Im olny a farmer so I dont no much about fencing properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontrowfencing Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi there, From my experience, they often use the 8/9 line wires as it will travel over hillier terrain much more easily than netting. They do have netting but don't use it as much. As for cost, I think it would be more expensive and would struggle to take off here. Not only do they have the strainers and posts every 3 metres, they also have timber droppers that are spaced between the posts every metre. These all need stapling on as well and it becomes quite a long job. But it does give a very good strong fence that will,stand the test of mountainous terrain where farmers will not be checking regularly. I could be wrong with what I say and stand to be corrected.

D A MacDougall Fencing Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 In my mind the nz style off fencing 8 9 wire plus droppers is not cheap initially but they put the fence up to last 30 50 years quality materials and craftsmanship. I don't know if this style off fencing will take off in the uk but I am putting up more multi wire fences thinking they are good for going round woods or on road side fence where trees may fall on fence or cars may go through fence .my thinking is u can repair them easier and faster than net.also think that a multi wire fence stands up to the snow plough shoving snow into the fence. basically I think it is a more versatile fence with lots of variations for diffrent situations. That's my thoughts not facts lol Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
