Cattle Fencing Canberra, ACT

The best type of fencing for cattle depends on yourfarm property’s requirements and the behaviour of your livestock. Commonly used options include hi-tensile mesh, barbed wire, and hinge joint mesh, all of which provide durability and strength.

Cattle fences should generally be between 1.2 and 1.5 metres high to effectively contain livestock. For larger or more active animals, such as bulls, taller fences may be necessary. 

Fence posts for cattle fencing are usually spaced 3 to 6 metres apart, depending on the fencing material and terrain. For hi-tensile mesh or barbed wire, closer post spacing is recommended for greater stability.

Hi-tensile fencing offers numerous advantages for cattle containment, including durability, low maintenance, cost-effectiveness and safety.

The best materials for cattle fencing include hot-dip galvanised mesh for rust resistance, barbed wire for perimeter security, hi-tensile mesh for strength, and PVC-coated tie wire for added weather protection and durability.

Keep your cattle fencing effective by regularly inspecting for damage, especially after storms. Tighten loose wires, replace damaged posts or materials promptly, and monitor for rust in high-moisture areas, treating or replacing as needed.

Yes, cattle fencing can be customised for various livestock needs. Add rabbit or dog mesh for smaller animals, increase height and strength for horses or deer, or use feral bloc mesh for effective pest control.
