Wire and Net Fencing

There are a variety of options in New Zealand when it comes to net and wire fencing which include some of the following:

Wire fencing is made of metal. It’s usually made up of horizontal lines or squares that form a strong but permeable boundary. It can connect to posts or act alone. Wire mesh fencing provides a practical option where a defined boundary is needed without blocking light or views.

Net fencing is usually a finer mesh than wire alternatives. It might be made from metal or plastic and is often more flexible than other options. It can be used as a boundary when attached to posts or as safety netting. Fence netting can also be specified for safety applications, including protective barriers around play areas.

Tensile mesh is a metal wire fence usually made from stainless steel. It involves support or perimeter cables with a diamond-shaped mesh that’s strong and stable.    

While fence netting can be used on its own, you can get specific products that sit in the gaps between balustrades. It could be wire lines or mesh screens for stairs, walkways and perimeters.

One of the key advantages of high-quality wire fencing are the superior-grade materials that are used in its construction and manufacturing. This ensures the product's longevity in New Zealand conditions giving you something that will retain its security characteristics in a robust and reliable way. High-quality wire and net fencing solutions also tend to be more aesthetically pleasing with their design given as much consideration during development as its more practical traits. This gives you a more balanced product that will deliver on a number of different levels.

The first thing to do when thinking about wire and net fencing is to consider your fencing needs. If you don’t need a solid boundary in the form of a wood fence, then you’re already heading in the right direction with wire and net fencing. If you’re marking a boundary, the length of your perimeter will help you choose a more specific option. For example, for shorter sections, wire fencing alone should be adequate. If it’s a walkway, a long stretch or if aesthetics are a priority, you might consider balustrades with a netting infill. The type of material you choose is also an important factor when it comes to durability and longevity. Your experienced fencing professional will be able to advise you on this with details about the environment you’re working with.
