I used Brad to replace some "deadman" posts on my kiwifruit orchard. I booked him well in advance, he arrived when I wanted him, and performed the task in an efficient manner. I will definitely continue to use him.

Outstanding work on our new road fence and matching gates which Brad also built and installed. Everything was finished to a high standard and area was left clean and tidy. Beyond delighted to have found such a great contractor and 100% recommend Versatile Fencing.
Questions people ask us
Do you do a metre rate?
As a guide, yes, and they’re above. But a metre rate assumes flat, level ground, and most jobs go uphill or downhill or round corners. Brad comes and looks, then prices the job you’ve actually got.
Have you got the gear for big runs?
Yes. Without a tractor and post rammer, in Brad’s words, “you kind of can’t, or you can, but it’s not very efficient.”
Why is a hill dearer than a flat paddock?
Every post up a slope takes longer to set and strain. That’s why Brad prices the line you’ve got, not a flat metre.
