Summit’s SoloNet demonstration proves a hit at Fencing Best Practice Day

Tom Hill (Lower South Island Territory Manager, Summit Steel & Wire) attended an engaging session with Fencing Contractors NZ (FCNZ) on the 14th April in Palmerston, which demonstrates best practice fencing techniques showcased in a range of practical demonstrations throughout the day.

Fencing Best Practice Days provide a great opportunity for fencing contractors to learn new skills, see the latest fencing gear and to meet like-minded fencing contractors in their region.

A key event which occurred during the day was a demonstration of the SoloNet.

As the fencing roll was tied off at the start of the fence line, this began the SoloNet demo. For this demonstration, a 500m roll of X™fence® 8/90 was used. At 11:40am, the SoloNet began rolling out the fence line, and by 12:00pm, 100m of the 500m roll had been rolled out, tied off, strained and stapled. The event consisted of approximately 30 fencing contractors, and Tom noticed that they were all extremely impressed with the SoloNet demonstration. The efficiency and ease of rolling out fencing rolls was a key discussion point throughout the day afterwards.

At Summit Steel & Wire, we are very excited about the SoloNet being used on more farms around New Zealand. The fencing contractors we partner with through our Approved Installer Network have noticed that by using the SoloNet, they have seen a significant increase in efficiency, as well as mitigating intensive labour by not having to manually handle the rolls.
