Freshly installed and now into production, our chainwire mesh weaving machine is up and running in our Brisbane factory. We have 7 different diamond sizes including 25, 32, 40, 45, 50, 60 and 100mm. Standard sizes are the 50 & 60mm, all other sizes are made to custom order - lead times and MOQ's apply. Roll widths range from 600mm through to 3600mm.

All wires are heavy hot dip galvanising - 230gsm coating of zinc. Black PVC coated finish available. All products comply with AS2423 standards and specifications.

The Fencing Store has added to our fabrication capabilities with the acquisition of a pipe saw, end notcher and bender together with welding gear enabling us to fabricate all sorts of gates - residential chain wire, rural farm gates, commercial and security pedestrian and vehicle access gates. We stock a range of gates but are focused upon custom fabrication to customer orders.

The Fencing Store has been appointed as a distriubutor for the renowned Kwikclamp range of modular fittings, clamps and safety barrier products. These are the top end of fittings that are widely used in a huge variety of applications and situations.

Kwikclamp is and Australian company supplying a high quality brand of highly versatile high quality malleable iron pipe fittings - they are designed for easy, simple and fast erection by hand with a minimum of tools. It is a cost effective, efficient system particularly compared with traditional methods of construction such as welding where specialist tools, extensive transing and experience are required.

The following is an unedited email contact from a Tasmanian customer. We always appreciate feedback so we can continue to give our customers the best possible service.

Hi there,

Thanks for your assistance today. The order confirmation has been received.

Over the past few months I had exhausted all the local outlets including Bunnings, Roberts rural supplies and specialised fencing outlets in the north of Tassie, but none supplied a product that matched your quality. None of the local agencies were interested in sourcing a PVC coated product. We especially wanted a fine durable mesh that could be anchored at ground level and fine enough to deter or at least diminish the number of snakes (which are aplenty in this area : tiger and copperhead!).

The provision of samples and your helpful manner reflects well on your organisation that others may try to imitate but will never emulate.

Hopefully I can encourage friends and colleagues to consider your products.

Kind regards,

Mike

RESIDENTS in Brisbane are being warned to watch out for snakes on the move after last week’s deluge in the southeast.

Snake Catcher with 1300 Catch It Julia Baker, known as the “Snake Shelia”, said Snakes often appeared in suburban areas after rain looking for warmth.

“I’ve just pulled one out of a chicken coop. It was nestled among the eggs and wasn’t even interested in eating them,” she said.

North Lakes mum Michelle Whittington said her son came across a snake that looked suspiciously like a brown snake on Friday morning while he was on his regular walk to school.

But Ms Baker said the snake was a Keelback, which are often mistaken for one of the world’s deadliest snakes, the Eastern Brown.

“They are often mistaken for Eastern Browns, but are totally harmless and quite reluctant to even bite,” she said.

“The rain does bring out the frogs and toads as well, which in return will bring out the Keelbacks. By the way, Keelbacks are awesome to have around because they can and will eat Cane toads quite happily!”
