How Premium Steel Fencing Helped Solve Termite Issue in Southern Highlands, NSW.
- BY Tripti Kakkar
In the heart of the Southern Highlands, NSW, equine property owners faced a challenge common to the region – termites. As residents since 2007, the decision to address this issue became crucial, especially with the imminent plan of retiring and renovating the property.
Only 10 years earlier the decision was made to install new hardwood timber with assurances of its durability over time. However, the location being a termite capital made them realise that hardwood would not even last 10 years with susceptibility to these efficient wood-eating insects. While treated pine was an option, the prospect of horses chewing on it raised concerns.
They wanted a durable fence that would withstand termites, rot, bushfires, cribbing and most importantly help them build a beautiful equine property they could retire in. If you are facing similar hurdles while creating your dream equine property, then keep reading.
This blog unfolds the story of equestrians’ journey, revealing the choice they made to solve the termite problem while enhancing security, looks, and the overall value of their equine property.
Discover how Stock & Noble’s Premium Steel Post and Rail Fencing became the reliable protector, bravely facing the challenges brought by time and termites.

In contemplating their options, along with the visual appeal and termite protection, the safety provided by metal fencing during bushfires became critical. The idea that the horses could find refuge behind sturdy metal fencing in the face of fire added an extra layer of security. Even if the metal fence were to bear scars from a passing fire, its structural integrity promised to remain intact.
The Installation Experience: Impressions of Premium Steel Post and Rail Fencing
As the fencing installer narrates in the video, Jenny and Robert, the clients seeking a reliable fencing solution, initiated the journey. Though he was apprehensive about the potential cost, their knowledge about the product and unwavering conviction intrigued him.
The arrival of Stock & Noble’s Premium Steel Post and Rail Fencing brought forth a new and impressive challenge. The system, a novelty to the installer, stood out with its high-quality manufacturing, thoughtful design, and superior finishes. The pieces, individually packaged, showcased a level of attention-to-detail exceeding industry standards.
Fencing Installer’s View On Premium Steel vs. Timber Post and Rail Fencing
According to the Fencing Contractor, comparing the engineered steel fencing system with traditional timber post and rail fencing is futile, as they are fundamentally different. While the initial cost might lean towards the higher side, the long-term benefits of steel fencing overcome the short-term expense.
The hot galvanised steel fence with architectural grade powder coated finish eliminates concerns of rot and termite damage and common pitfalls of hardwood fences. They also do not need painting, unlike the timber fences on equine properties.
The sustainable nature of steel, being recyclable, contributes to its favour in an era emphasising environmental responsibility.
Overall the posts, longer and more robust than their timber counterparts, not only offer a durable finish but also present a more sustainable choice. The installation process mirrors timber, but with a slightly faster timeframe, less environmental impact, and reduced waste – a clear nod to the eco-conscious.
