Rural & Farm Fencing NT - Tips For Choosing Secure Fences

If you run a working farm, you know how important it is to have secure fencing. A reliable fence offers the best protection for yourself, your family, your animals, crops and property from potential danger.

If you're wondering where you need fencing, or how to choose the best fencing products for your property, read on to learn more.

What Areas Should I Fence?

When it comes to rural and farm fencing NT, the options are endless! Some areas in particular need to be surrounded by protective fencing in order to prevent harm to people and animals.

These include:

• Swimming pools: A pool can be a serious hazard, especially to small children. Your pool must be surrounded by a compliant pool fence, with a working and lockable gate, to prevent children from climbing over the fence or entering the pool area without adult knowledge or supervision.
• Garden: Surrounding your back garden with a fence will help protect your plants from your livestock - you want them to eat grass and grain, not your flowers!
• Dogs: If you're breeding or raising dogs, you might need to separate them with specialised dog fences. You might also choose to keep your farm dogs secured at night, and suitable fencing can help.

How Do I Choose A Secure Fence?

When you're looking at installing or updating your farm fencing, you'll need to take several points into account. If you have livestock, fences will prevent them from escaping your property - and will also keep your property safe from animals from neighbouring farms.

Don't overlook these important considerations when choosing a fence.

Know What You Need

The last thing you want is a rural or farm fence that doesn't suit your needs. When choosing a fence, you'll need to think about your animals, possible predators, and how much you're able to spend.

Knowing your needs will also help you choose the best material for the job, such as:

• Woven wire fencing: These fences are made of horizontal and vertical wires woven together. They come in a range of height options to suit the particular livestock you might have on your property.
• Mesh wire fencing: Mesh fences are regarded as more durable than woven wire options, and are generally used to enclose feedlots, small crop sections, and corrals.
• Barbed wire fencing: This galvanised steel fencing is strengthened with twisted barbs. It's cost-effective and easy to use and doesn't require much to install. 

Go With A Professional

Choosing the right sort of fence will help keep your livestock safe from predators. You'll want to make sure you consider their needs and the potential risks they might face.

The particular fencing style and system you choose is up to you, but a professional fencing company will be able to help identify your needs, provide quality and secure products, and help you maintain the safety of your property and livestock.
