Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose split post and barbed wire fencing?
Split post and barbed wire fencing is a practical, cost-effective choice for rural properties. It offers strength and durability, covering long distances with minimal upkeep. The solid posts provide stability, while the barbed wire deters livestock from pushing through. It’s especially suited for cattle and large boundaries where coverage and longevity matter most.
How long does split post fencing last?
With quality materials and professional installation, split post and barbed wire fencing can last 15–20 years or more. Factors like soil type, climate, and livestock pressure influence longevity. Regular inspections, maintaining wire tension, and replacing any damaged posts will extend the fence’s lifespan, saving time and money in the long term.
Is barbed wire safe for all animals?
Barbed wire works well for cattle and other large livestock but can cause injuries to horses and smaller animals. Horses, in particular, are prone to cuts if they come into contact with barbed wire. For equine areas, smooth wire or post and rail fencing is a much safer, recommended option.
Low Maintenance
Built for Big Jobs
When we build split post and barbed wire fencing, it’s not just about putting up posts and stringing wire — it’s about doing the job right from the ground up. We start by looking at your property’s layout, soil type, and livestock needs, then set each post securely for maximum stability.
We choose strong, treated timber or steel posts and high-tensile barbed wire to ensure the fence can handle daily wear and tear. Wire tension is carefully set so it stays tight over time, reducing the need for frequent fixes. Once it’s in place, you’ve got a reliable, low-maintenance fence that will serve you for years, keeping stock secure and boundaries clearly defined.
