Reliable Rural Fencing Supplies in Canberra & Queanbeyan

Hinged joint fencing is a trusted choice in rural and agricultural settings, ideal for containing livestock and keeping wildlife out. It features vertical stay wires and horizontal line wires, connected with a distinctive hinge joint knot, giving the fence its name.

This knot design allows each vertical wire to flex under pressure, absorbing impact from animals without bending or breaking. Once the pressure is released, the fence springs back into shape, maintaining its strength and structure over time.

Thanks to its flexibility and resilience, hinged joint fencing performs exceptionally well on uneven ground and in high-traffic areas. It’s a dependable, low-maintenance solution for long-term boundary control on any farm.

Common applications include:

• Sheep, goat, and cattle fencing
• Kangaroo and wildlife exclusion fencing
• Boundary fencing for farms and rural properties

Barbed wire fencing is a time-tested solution for effective stock containment and property protection across rural and agricultural properties. It’s the go-to choice when you need a fence that not only marks a boundary but also discourages pressure from livestock.

Often considered the backbone of farm security, this tough fencing option is designed to withstand harsh conditions and animal impact. The sharp barbs serve as a physical deterrent, reducing the risk of livestock pushing through or leaning on the fence.

Barbed wire is relatively cost-effective and straightforward to install, making it a practical choice for large-scale fencing projects. With galvanised coatings available, it also offers strong resistance to rust and corrosion, ideal for Canberra’s changing weather.

When strength and deterrence matter, barbed wire fencing delivers where it counts.

Common applications include:

• Perimeter Security: Used to secure areas from trespassers or stray animals, particularly around paddocks, storage yards, or rural infrastructure.
• Top Strand on Fencing Systems: Often used as the top wire on plain wire or mesh fences to add an extra layer of deterrence.
• Temporary Holding Areas: Useful for quickly setting up enclosures during livestock sorting, mustering, or transportation.

Plain wire fencing is a low-tensile, durable, and versatile solution for stock containment and boundary fencing on rural or agricultural properties. You could say this humble fence is the farm’s quiet workhorse: reliable, adaptable, and always ready for the job.

Cost-effective and easy to install, plain wire is more affordable than barbed, mesh, or electric options. It can be used on its own or paired with electric fencing for added control.

Its corrosion-resistant nature ensures long-lasting performance, even in Canberra’s harsh and changing weather conditions.

Durable, adaptable, and budget-friendly, it’s definitely a smart investment for any rural property.

Common applications include:

• Livestock Containment: Ideal for managing livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses, especially when combined with electric fencing to prevent pressure on the wire.
• Boundary Fencing: Widely used for marking property lines on farms and rural properties due to its affordability and ease of installation.
• Temporary Fencing: Useful for creating short-term enclosures or dividing paddocks during rotational grazing or property development.
• Trellising for Vineyards or Orchards: Can be used as support wire for growing fruit trees, vines, and other crops that require structure.
• Subdividing Paddocks: Helps in setting up internal divisions within a property to control grazing and manage land more efficiently.
• Electric Fence Conductor: Plain wire is often used in conjunction with electric fence systems as a conductor, offering extra control and security for livestock.

Wire netting, or wire mesh, is a highly versatile fencing solution used across residential, rural, and commercial properties. Its interwoven mesh pattern provides a strong yet see-through barrier, making it ideal for situations where visibility and security are both important.

Constructed from galvanised or PVC-coated steel, this fence offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance, even in harsh outdoor conditions. The chain link fence has a flexible design that adapts well to uneven terrain, while the mesh structure prevents animals from squeezing through or damaging the fence.

Whether you're securing a yard, protecting a garden, or enclosing livestock and poultry, a wire mesh fence delivers reliable, low-maintenance performance. It’s a popular choice for everything from farm boundaries to sports fields and industrial sites.

Common applications include:

• Livestock and Poultry Enclosures: Wire netting and chain wire mesh are ideal for containing chickens, goats, and other small animals, providing a secure yet visible barrier.
• Garden and Crop Protection: A wire mesh fence helps keep out pests like rabbits, kangaroos, and other wildlife while allowing air and sunlight to pass through, perfect for vegetable patches or orchards.
• Dog Runs and Kennels: Wire mesh fencing is a popular choice for dog enclosures, combining durability with visibility to keep pets safe without isolating them.
• Security and Industrial Fencing: Often used in warehouses, depots, and commercial sites, chain link fence systems offer strong boundary control while maintaining visibility for surveillance.

While many see Y-posts (or star pickets) as just supports for wire mesh fencing, at Tymlock, we see them differently. To us, the Y-post is the quiet achiever of the fence posts. It is tough, reliable, and always up for the job. It doesn’t ask for attention, it simply delivers.

Made from high-quality steel, our Y-posts are built to last. Their rugged construction stands up to Australia’s harshest weather conditions, and their design allows for quick installation, with no excessive digging required. That means less time, less labour, and more efficiency on-site.

Compared to other fencing options, Y-posts are a cost-effective solution, especially for larger projects. They require very little maintenance and offer long-term performance without constant upkeep or replacement.

Common Applications Include: 

• Reinforcing fences for added strength and stability
• Creating boundaries, walkways, or thoroughfares across rural properties
• Supporting mesh, barbed wire, or electric fencing systems
• Sectioning off paddocks or livestock enclosures
• Temporary fencing for events or construction zones
• Marking property lines or no-go zones
• Protecting gardens, crops, or revegetation areas from wildlife
• Holding signage, warning markers, or safety barriers
• Supporting trellises or netting for horticultural use

If Y-posts are the quiet achievers, strainer posts are the powerhouses behind your fence’s strength. At Tymlock, we know that a fence is only as good as its foundations, and that starts with a solid strainer.

Strainer posts are installed at the ends, corners, and key stress points of a fencing system. Their primary job is to handle the tension from long wire runs, keeping everything straight, secure, and standing tall. Built from heavy-duty steel or treated timber, they offer unbeatable load-bearing strength and long-lasting reliability.

Whether you're fencing off a large property or securing a paddock, strainer posts are a non-negotiable when it comes to building a fence that can truly hold up season after season.

Common Uses for Strainer Posts:

• Anchoring fences at ends, corners, and gateways
• Supporting high-tension wire and mesh fencing systems
• Creating structural stability across long fence lines
• Forming key points for strain assemblies in livestock fencing
• Used with stay assemblies to maintain tension over time
• Reinforcing areas where gates or changes in direction occur
