Hughes Fencing and Earthworks, we are passionate about delivering reliable, high-quality farm fencing solutions to farmers and property owners across Canterbury. Based in Darfield, we are your local experts in creating strong, durable fencing that can handle the unique challenges of New Zealand’s rural environment.
Whether you need to secure your livestock, protect your property, or delineate your land, we have the expertise and craftsmanship to deliver fencing solutions that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
Farm Boundary Fencing
A reliable farm boundary fence is the first line of defense for your property. Whether you need to secure large acreage or small plots, our farm boundary fencing solutions provide sturdy, long-lasting protection.
We carefully design and install each fence to suit the specific contours of your land, ensuring optimal coverage and strength. Using top-quality materials, our boundary fences withstand the harshest New Zealand weather conditions, safeguarding your livestock and providing peace of mind.
Our boundary fences not only serve a functional purpose but also help define property lines clearly and deter trespassers. We offer various fencing styles depending on your preferences and property’s needs, including traditional post-and-wire fences and high-tensile netting options.
Netting Fencing (Sheep, Cattle & Deer)
The safety of your livestock is essential to your farming operations, and a secure containment fence is a must-have for effective management. Hughes Fencing and Earthworks specializes in designing and installing customized stock yard and containment fencing for a wide range of animals.
Whether you're managing sheep, cattle, horses, or deer, we provide tailored solutions to ensure that your animals are securely contained and easily managed.
Our containment fencing options are designed to prevent stock escapes, and provide ease of access for moving livestock between yards and grazing areas.
We work closely with you to understand your farm’s unique requirements and design stock yards that optimize efficiency and animal safety.
Post and Rail Fencing
For those looking to combine function with style, post and rail fencing is a popular choice. Ideal for high-visibility areas such as horse paddocks, driveways, or around homesteads, post and rail fencing adds a professional and elegant finish to any property while maintaining strength and durability.
Our post and rail fencing solutions are made from premium treated timber or other high-quality materials, ensuring they are resistant to rot and wear.
Whether for decorative purposes or to safely enclose horses and other livestock, we provide post and rail fencing that enhances the aesthetic appeal and security of your farm.
Electric Fencing
Electric fencing is one of the most cost-effective and versatile fencing options available for New Zealand farms. It offers efficient stock control, is easy to install, and can be modified to suit different areas of your property.
At Hughes Fencing and Earthworks, we specialize in high-performance electric fencing systems that are customized to your farm’s layout and stock requirements.
Our electric fences are made using high-quality components that ensure they are durable and low-maintenance.
We offer various electric fencing configurations, from permanent multi-wire systems to temporary options, allowing you to control grazing patterns, protect sensitive areas, and increase stock management efficiency.
