Shane on the Wire

Standing 1.8 meters high with 100mm x 50mm – 2.5mm wire cross sections, this product can cover a range of fencing needs.

Whether it’s keeping it in, keeping it out or protecting those assets, your security needs can be serviced with Summit Steel & Wire’s Security X™Fence® products.

The X™Knot used to create X™Fence® is forged, instead of tied, like other fencing knots. Additionally, the X™Knot is made using high tensile wire. X™Fence® is coated in a Zinc / Aluminium XtraLife™ coating and has proven itself time and time again in the harshest New Zealand environments.

For both aesthetic and quality reasons, why look past this great option. Other security products use soft wire that require guidelines and lacing. A fence that is hard to climb and difficult to penetrate. X™Fence® is manufactured to be self-supporting, so is easier to install and will not sag over time. All X™Fence® comes with 500mm of pre-stripped ends, making it easier to tie off and join.

Taggart Earthmoving recently got in touch with Andy Johnson at Central Fencing down in Christchurch to discuss their next security fencing job. Needing to clear a section for more storage and equipment management, Andy was quick to recommend X™Fence® security netting to do the job. 800 meters has been installed around the roadside (see image below). Posts were placed at 4 metres and with a couple of barb wires on top, Taggart become another happy customer protected by X™Fence® security netting.
