Vet provides innovative canine sanctuary

In a recent collaboration with renowned construction firm Calder Stewart, Vet South of Invercargill has unveiled an exciting addition to its state-of-the-art facilities in Invercargill, and D Roberts Fencing was the one to bring this great idea together.

Following extensive renovations to its Invercargill clinic, Vet South has introduced an enclosure designed specifically for dogs. This unique space offers our furry friends the perfect balance of freedom and security, allowing them to enjoy the outdoors while remaining safely contained.

Calder Stewart had the idea, and Daniel from D Roberts Fencing made a few suggestions and ideas, and a plan for the enclosure to work efficiently. Featuring a concrete base for effortless maintenance, this canine sanctuary is a testament to both practicality and innovation. The enclosure came together without any problems, and all parties were pleased with the end result.

Gone are the days of worrying about muddy paws or difficult cleaning routines – with Vet South’s new enclosure, pet care has never been easier.

Client satisfaction, attention to detail and a damn good team.  That’s basically the motto for the D Roberts Fencing team. Daniel and Kirstin Roberts and their team are passionate about their work. Understanding client needs is the first box to be ticked when an appointment is booked.

Daniel, a perfectionist at heart, started fencing in 2020 after leaving his full-time job.

He leapt at the opportunity to buy the business that he used to help with on the odd occasion through the years.

D Roberts Fencing started as a one-man band, with Daniel installing industrial fencing, working out of his garage at home, but quickly increased to seven full-time staff and purchasing a yard in the CBD. In the beginning, Daniel was calling on friends, Kirstin and their two sons Deacon and Mason to help out when needed.

‘‘Without the help of friends, we couldn’t have done it in the beginning”.

The team is skilled at erecting multiple fence options – particularly specialising in commercial and residential. D Roberts Fencing source a majority of their materials from Boundaryline, Steel and Tube and Edgesmith.

It’s all about coming together and working with everyone to come up with an idea of what will work best for the client and their budget.

“Our team is the backbone of our company, without them we would not be where we are today.”
