Managing a large property in the Huon Valley or Richmond requires a different mindset. It's not just about boundaries; it's about stock control, wildlife management, and preserving the rural aesthetic that makes Hobart unique.
1. The Wildlife Challenge: Wallaby-Proofing
Any Hobartian farmer knows the damage a mob of Bennetts wallabies can do to a crop or garden overnight. Standard 7-strand farm fencing is often insufficient.
We increasingly recommend fabricated feral fencing (hinge joint or fixed knot) with a specialized bottom apron. This prevents burrowing and hopping, securing your high-value paddocks without disrupting the visual flow of the landscape.
Heavy-duty rural fencing keeping stock in and wildlife out.
2. Post & Rail: The Premium Entrance
While wire is practical for boundaries, your front gate sets the tone for the property value. Mortised timber post and rail, using locally sourced Macrocarpa or treated pine, offers that classic 'Yellowstone' aesthetic while being incredibly robust against stock pressure.
