Stock Fencing in Exmouth

### Fencing That Holds Animals In

Stock fencing isn't a garden job - it's agricultural work that needs to be done properly. **Animals test fences constantly**, and weak points fail fast. Posts need to be deep and solid, wire needs proper tension, and the whole run needs to handle whatever you're keeping in (or keeping out).

> 💡 **Pro tip:** The biggest cost in stock fencing is usually the posts. Don't skimp on them - weak posts mean the whole fence fails, and replacing them later means doing the job twice.
