Rural & post-and-rail fencing around Orange.
Fencing for the grazing and lifestyle country that rings Orange. Timber post-and-rail for horse properties and entrances, plain and hinge-joint stock fencing for cattle and sheep, boundary runs strained to hold tension over the hilly volcanic country. Quoted per 100m.
Rural fencing for Central West blocks.
- Timber post-and-rail: two, three or four-rail timber fencing for horse paddocks, driveway entrances and house-yard boundaries. The classic Central West rural look.
- Plain-wire stock fencing: several strands of plain or high-tensile wire on steel or timber posts, the everyday paddock and boundary fence.
- Hinge-joint and ringlock: fabricated stock mesh for sheep, goats and mixed grazing, often with a barbed top and bottom.
- Electric fencing: permanent electric outriggers and standalone electric lines for rotational grazing and to take pressure off the main fence.
- Strainer and end assemblies: properly built strainer posts and stays so the fence holds tension across the rises and gullies of Orange country.
Built for the ground around Orange.
The blocks around Borenore, Cargo, Spring Hill and Clifton Grove sit on a mix of deep basalt clay and shallow volcanic rock, and the country rolls. Both of those things matter for a rural fence. On the clay we set posts deep enough to resist the seasonal swell and the winter frost that lifts shallow footings. On the rocky rises we rock-auger or core the post holes to reach solid bearing rather than packing a post into loose rubble that lets go the first time a beast leans on it. Across the undulating ground we space and tension the wire so it follows the contour without leaving gaps under the dips.
Matched to your stock.
The right rural fence depends on what it has to hold. For horses we lean toward timber post-and-rail, or a post-and-rail with a sighter or electric top, because high-tensile wire is hard for a horse to see. For cattle, plain or barbed wire on steel posts with an electric outrigger does the job for less. For sheep and goats, hinge-joint mesh keeps them in. We work out the spec with you at the measure based on your stock, your block and your budget.
Worked example.
A 4-strand plain-wire boundary fence on steel posts over reasonable ground runs around $2,200 to $2,800 per 100m. A 3-rail treated-pine post-and-rail horse fence is closer to $8,000 to $10,000 per 100m. Rock-augering on the harder volcanic blocks adds to the post line. See the pricing page for indicative rates, and we firm it up after walking the block.
Frequently asked questions.
How much does rural fencing cost per 100m around Orange?
Plain-wire and hinge-joint stock fencing runs roughly $1,500 to $3,500 per 100m, and timber post-and-rail around $7,000 to $12,000 per 100m. Rocky volcanic country toward Cargo and the Canobolas foothills adds to the post cost.
What rural fence suits horses versus cattle near Orange?
For horses, timber post-and-rail or post-and-rail with a sighter or electric top. For cattle, hinge-joint or plain and barbed wire on steel posts, often with an electric outrigger. We match the fence to your stock at the measure.
Do you do boundary fencing on grazing blocks?
Yes, boundaries, paddock divisions, laneways and yards around Borenore, Spring Hill, Clifton Grove and Cargo. Rural boundary fences are still a shared cost under the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991, and we can quote for the Fencing Notice.
Can you strain a fence over the hilly Orange country?
Yes. We set strainer and end assemblies to hold tension over the rises, dig or rock-auger to solid bearing, and run the wire so it follows the ground without leaving stock gaps.
