High Tensile Fence
Whether it is the boundary that makes a good neighbor, or the subdivision to control livestock and protect crops, or to keep predators away, any farmer or stockperson knows the value of a good fence. In 1977, the revolutionary High Tensile Fence System was introduced into this country from New Zealand and Australia. Since then, High Tensile Fence has proved to be an effective, reliable, low-cost solution with distinct advantages: the smooth wire fence is easy to handle; requires very little maintenance; can
be adapted to specific needs from boundary to trellis; is strong, capable of withstanding intense livestock pressure; is safer for animals; minimizes hide damage; is easily electrified; will outlast most other fences, is attractive and will stay attractive for years to come. Now the company that introduced High Tensile Fencing to the United States presents KIWI the complete high tensile fence system, the choice of the professional contractors now available for the do it yourself market.
