Product Announcement
Introducing the new range of Portable Electrics
Posted 1 April 2022
Portable electric fencing acts as a great solution when it comes to break-feeding: a common grazing and animal management practice. Many farmers use this method to rest the pasture by shifting the fenced area every day or so. By doing this, you can adapt to current growing conditions, adjust paddock sizes and control the amount of feed your animals are getting.
The GOFENCE® Portable Electrics range offers well-designed, durable and easy to use products. Whether it is a permanent or temporary fencing electric solution you are constructing, we have the components to complete your fence line. Come and check out the range in store from the 8th April!
Introducing the GOFENCE® RAPTOR® Driver Tool
Posted 31 August 2021
The tool that saves you time.
The GOFENCE® RAPTOR® Driver Tool is a new time saving, innovative solution for the quick and easy installation and removal of gate gudgeons.
Designed with a tapered jaw to suit gudgeons from 12mm to 20mm, this innovative tool can be used on screw and lock thru gudgeons, one size fits all. With a ½" drive for attaching to power tools, ratchets or power bars, it makes installation and removal of gudgeons simple.
Developed with the help of reputable fencing contractors allowed us to get the invaluable feedback we needed to provide the best tool that should in every farmer’s and fencer’s tool box.

Passing The Batten
Posted 8 January 2018
There won't be too many men out there that can say they met their wife on a fence line - Mat Cave however is one man that can! Meeting his future wife, Raynae, whilst working on a fencing job - she was the daughter of the clients - it's fair to say fencing and fence lines have played a big part in Mat's life. Fencing has also played a large role in Cave family history, and the skill set required has been passed down through the generations. Now third generation Mat is holding the 'batten' and using all the knowledge and training provided to him by his grandfather, Richard (Dick), whilst running his own fencing contracting business MJ Cave Contracting Ltd in Hawke's Bay.

On the day we visited Glenn Blackmore and the team from Blackmore Fencing, they were starting on a job they weren't too comfortable with — pulling down fence lines on a vineyard. Jobs like this are a rare occurrence for fencing contractors who are more in the constructing than deconstructing game, but Glenn just adds this latest job to his long list of fencing experiences which includes building fences not only where he is based in Marlborough but also in America and Europe.

‘Hoppin’ Along Nicely
Posted 2 June 2017
Heavy rain coupled with a biting wind are less than ideal conditions when you are in the middle of the busiest time of year, harvesting the crop you have nurtured for the past six months. However, those conditions were exactly what Brent McGlashen and his team at Mac Hops were working in when we visited them in Motueka recently. "We can't do much about it, these hops need to be harvested now so we just need to get on with it." Brent explained this to us as another trailer load of hops headed off past to be processed...

A Chip Off the Old Block
Posted 31 January 2017
Dave McEwen is not a man to sit back and put his feet up. He's a man who thrives on challenges and testing his own limits and the limits of the land he is working. Where he is today can be attributed to not just his years of hard work but also the path his father laid for him.
RHINO® to the rescue!
Posted 9 January 2017
When he received a panicked call from one of his workers asking him to come down to the orchard straight away, Graeme Hodges didn't know what he was going to find — a full row of apple trees lying on the ground wasn't one of the potential scenarios he had considered whilst rushing to the scene. In all his time in the pipfruit industry, spent on or around orchards, he had never seen a full row collapse to the ground. He is now making changes to ensure it's not something he'll see again.
