4 Rural Fencing Ideas To Get Christmas Ready In Darwin NT

The festive season is here, and it is essential for rural landowners to ensure their fences are secure and reliable before Christmas day. With a special lunch planned or travel and family visits on the cards, it’s important that nothing ruins your holiday.

Livestock escaping or intruders disturbing the peace are some of the ways your fun might be ruined, which can be avoided with a well built and maintained fence and gates.

Read on for 4 rural fencing ideas to get Christmas ready this year.

Check Your Fence For Damage

Fences in rural areas are often exposed to harsher elements than those in urban or suburban settings. Exposure to extreme weather, erosion from flooding and wind, fallen trees and more can all contribute to fences becoming scraped, chipped, eroded or otherwise damaged.

By regularly monitoring your fencing, any faults will be quickly detected, making it easier to repair damage efficiently before it becomes an expensive or dangerous problem or a disruption when you’re trying to rest and relax.

Make Sure Your Gates Are In Working Order

It's crucial to check that your automated rural fence gate is working correctly before Christmas Day. If it becomes stuck, this faulty gate could block animal pathways and cause fences to collapse, leading to unnecessary repairs, and a loss of animals.

Furthermore, panicked livestock escaping through an unreliable fence could become a danger to other animals or people in the area. 

3. Set A Budget

Set a budget for your fence before you buy or install it. Fences vary greatly in cost, and some fences are more to install than others due to complications in the installation process.

Setting a budget before you begin will guide your decision-making process and help you to control the costs of your project.

Call In The Experts To Repair Your Fence Or Gate

Nobody wants to be dealing with a broken fence or an automated gate on the most anticipated day of year. To prevent any problems on Christmas Day, make sure you call in the experts before it's too late.

With their help, you can ensure your rural fence or automated gate is repaired in time for festivities and that everyone can relax and enjoy the special time of year. 

Replace Your Fence Or Gate If They Can’t Be Repaired

Replacing your rural fence and gate should be considered if it becomes structurally unstable or is no longer performing its desired function. As fences age, they can fall into disrepair and become a hazard to those who reside near them.

If your fence is splintering, rotting or filled with holes, these are signs that it needs to be replaced. Additionally, if you notice posts are leaning or have been visibly damaged by wildlife, they should also be replaced. 

With a new installation you can focus on festivities rather than worrying about fences and gates giving up on Christmas day.
