New and established fencing
from New Zealand
South Fence Machinery Ltd manufactures three types of rural fencing machines – fixed knot, stiff stay and hinge joint. All three types
have the option of single and dual fence production. Fixed knot fence is well established and its market share is growing rapidly in all
areas where a premium fence is required. South Fence Machinery’s fixed knot machines produce fences with up to 26 line wires and
up to 3m high.
Stiff stay fence is relatively new to
the market but the machine’s speed
and flexibility are said to make it an
attractive option for new manufacturers
establishing themselves in the market,
as well as for established manufacturers,
looking to offer a full range of fence types.
Stiff stay machines can manufacture
fences with up to 25 line wires and
2.5m high.
Hinge joint fence is still the cheapest
option and maintains the largest market
share of the three fence types. Hinge joint
machines can manufacture fences with up
to 28 lines wires and 2.5m high.
South Fence also manufactures a barbed
staple machine and a coiler machine.
