Thousands of Australian customers have been using Davo’s Fencing Clip™ in fencing and trellising since 2018. Quick and easy to install, the clips are screwed to posts providing a much stronger attachment than traditional fixings.
“They work well and look very neat,” said Bruce from Queensland. “The product speaks for itself.” Both contractors and landowners have been singing the praises of Davo’s products.
The cost of failed wire attachment shouldn’t be underestimated. Livestock escaping can result in road accidents, pest and disease issues and poorly managed breeding cycles. The time spent maintaining failed fences can be large. In horticulture, heavy fruit crops and strong winds can cause traditional fixings to fail, resulting in unsupported limbs breaking and time-consuming maintenance. In wine grapes, mechanical harvesting often dislodges fixings, contaminating grapes and causing damage to processing equipment in the winery.
In 2017 Nicole, and teenage son Jimmy, were building a new fence. After a day of hammering in staples, they came in and exclaimed, “There must be an easier way! Why can’t we screw something in.” Rod listened and within an hour Davo’s Fencing Clip™ was born.
First launched onto the Australian market in 2018 to wide acclaim, Davo’s Fencing Clip™ was awarded the Major Award at Hamilton Victoria’s SheepVention Invention Competition. “In 2019 we returned with Davo’s Insul Clip to receive the District Encouragement Award, for having successfully commercialized our product,” said Nicole. “And this year, we came second with Davo’s Reel Clip.”
Davo’s Insul Clip and Davo’s Reel Clip provide options for insulating electric fences easily and economically, using plastic insulation tubes or porcelain insulators respectively.
Manufactured on the family’s farm in southwest Victoria, on state-of-the-art machinery, this is the first time Davo’s Fencing Clip™ have been presented in New Zealand.
Davo’s Fencing Clip™ will be available at Fieldays 2022 ® from site K24. Rod and Nicole will be on hand to give demonstrations and talk about the many and varied uses of Davo’s Fencing Clip™. With all three clips available in a range of pack sizes, there is a solution for everyone.
“We are also very keen to talk to retailers interested in stocking Davo’s to provide a continuous supply to New Zealand customers.
