Our Comprehensive Farm Fencing Services in Perth
At South Side Wire, we specialise in a broad range of rural and farm fencing solutions. Our team has the skills and equipment to manage projects of any size, from a few acres to large property boundaries.
Livestock and Stock Fencing
The primary purpose of most farm fences is effective stock management. We design and install robust fencing solutions for all types of livestock, ensuring they are kept safe, secure, and where they need to be.
- Cattle Fencing: Strong, highly visible, and built to withstand pressure. We use a combination of plain wire, barbed wire, and heavy-gauge wire netting on steel or timber posts to create secure cattle yards and paddock divisions.
- Sheep and Goat Fencing: Designed to prevent stock from pushing through or getting their heads caught. We typically use hinged-joint or stiff-stay netting with smaller apertures at the bottom to safely contain lambs and kids.
- Alpaca and Llama Fencing: Taller and more secure fencing to prevent these agile animals from jumping or pushing through.
- Pig Fencing: Extremely durable solutions using heavy-duty mesh and often a low-line electric wire to prevent digging and pushing.
Equine and Horse Fencing
Horse safety is paramount. Standard stock fencing can be dangerous for horses. We specialise in horse-safe fencing solutions that are highly visible, durable, and designed to minimise the risk of injury.
- Post and Rail Fencing: The timeless, safe, and visually appealing choice. We offer timber, steel, and PVC options to match your style and budget.
- Equine Mesh (Horse Mesh): A woven wire mesh with small, 2″x4″ openings that prevent hooves from getting caught. It’s a highly secure and safe option.
- Sighter Wire and Electric Braid: Cost-effective solutions that are highly visible and provide a safe barrier when installed correctly.
Property Boundary Fencing
Clearly defining and securing your property boundary is essential for security and legal reasons. We install durable, long-lasting boundary fences that offer a clear demarcation and an effective barrier. We can work with you and your neighbours to ensure the project proceeds smoothly and meets everyone’s needs.
Vermin and Predator-Proof Fencing
Protecting your livestock, crops, and pasture from feral animals is a major concern for many Perth landowners. We can design and install specialised fencing to keep unwanted visitors out.
- Dog and Dingo Fencing: Taller fences with foot netting (aprons) buried or pegged into the ground to stop digging.
- Rabbit and Hare Fencing: Rabbit-proof netting installed with a buried apron is crucial for safeguarding gardens, orchards, and paddocks.
- Fox Fencing: Often incorporates electric wires and floppy-top designs to prevent climbing.
Farm Gates and Entranceways
A reliable gate is as important as the fence. We supply and install high-quality farm gates, from standard pipe gates to custom entrance gates that boost your property’s street appeal. All gates are properly hung, swing freely, and fitted with secure, easy latches.
Hobby Farm and Lifestyle Block Fencing
We serve the increasing number of lifestyle blocks and hobby farms around Perth. Whether you need a secure fence for a few sheep, a safe enclosure for your horses, or simply want to mark out the boundary of your rural retreat, we offer practical and good-looking solutions that boost the value of your property.

Best Rural Fencing for Your Perth Farm
Protective Rural Fencing forYour Sydney Farm
Your farm in Perth is your livelihood, and safeguarding your property, livestock, and crops is crucial. At South Side Wire, we offer a variety of rural fencing options in Perth.

Our team is experienced in rural and boundary fencing installations, and we ensure all projects meet a high standard. Our installers are fully qualified in the building and construction industry and committed to your satisfaction with every project.
A typical rural fence serves an essential purpose on your farm, such as marking boundaries, protecting crops, or keeping stock in and pests out. In Australia, we know that while being practical, your fence also needs to be durable enough to withstand the climate.
Our rural fencing solutions for Perth farms can be as straightforward as a Post and Rail or can be upgraded from a purely functional fence to an ornamental one to proudly showcase your property boundary. Our fencing materials come in hardwood, treated pine, or powder-coated steel to suit your needs.
If you’re after livestock or hinge joint fencing to keep stock in and pests out, you can choose from a wide range of purpose-built netting. We offer timber and steel posts, star pickets, and wire and barb options. To finish your fence and gain access to your property, we have standard fence gates or custom-measured gates in our farm gate range that will suit your style and budget.

Understanding Perth Fencing Regulations & Safety Standards
When investing in Fencing in Perth, it is crucial to ensure your project complies with local government laws and safety requirements. At South Side Wire, we don’t just focus on aesthetics; we prioritise legal and structural integrity.
Dividing Fences Act 1961
If you are replacing a boundary fence shared with a neighbor, your project is governed by specific state laws. We recommend all our clients familiarize themselves with the Dividing Fences: A Guide to the Process provided by the WA Department of Commerce. This ensures a smooth process regarding cost-sharing and neighborly agreements.
Residential Design Codes (R-Codes)
In many Perth suburbs, front fences are subject to “visual permeability” rules to ensure street safety and clear sightlines for motorists. Our installations are designed to align with the WA Residential Design Codes (R-Codes), which dictate the height and “openness” of front boundary structures. We can help you navigate these codes to ensure your new picket fence doesn’t require a complex council retrospective approval.
Pool Safety & AS1926.1 Compliance
If your aluminium picket fence is being used as a barrier for a swimming pool or spa, it must meet life-saving safety standards. We ensure our pool-grade fencing adheres to the Australian Pool Fencing Rules & AS1926.1 Standards. This includes specific requirements for picket spacing (no more than 100mm apart) and self-closing gate mechanisms to protect your family and remain compliant with mandatory Perth council inspections.
