Good quality fence wire, whether plain, barbed, prefabricated or wire netting, is key to the life of a fence.
Waratah Longlife Blue® products stand out by offering maximum corrosion protection, which is essential for withstanding New Zealand’s diverse environment.
Farmers and contractors in New Zealand trust these products for their exceptional durability in coastal, high-humidity, and variable weather conditions. If you want a fence that lasts, you’ll need Australia’s leading fence wire, Waratah Longlife Blue®.
In addition to their corrosion resistance, Longlife Blue® products are high-performance and have been thoroughly tested for durability, making them perfect for the diverse and rugged terrains of New Zealand. Whether it’s for agricultural, rural, or commercial use, Waratah fence wire provides a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that meets the demands of the New Zealand landscape.
Paul Baikie from Farmer Joe’s Fencing, is familiar with the hassle of poor-quality fencing materials making their way into NZ and has had firsthand experience of how costly it can be when the products are simply not made for NZ conditions.
“When you start talking to the other contractors, they were all having the same problem,” states Paul. Suppliers would make claims that their products could not support. Having had to re-visit many jobs due to poor quality products not holding up in the conditions, Paul went looking for a reliable fencing brand that could supply materials that would last.
Paul’s decision to fence with Waratah has given him confidence in his work, stating that “switching to Waratah was the best thing we have ever done.” Waratah is the only Australian fencing manufacturer that control every step in the manufacturing process and comply to relevant consistency and quality standards, guaranteeing products are made for harsh conditions. Because of the Waratah guarantee, Paul is confident in using the products, saying, “With Waratah, we know what we are getting, the product will be better. For years it has proven it can last in outback Australia. I know it will last here”.
Using Longlife Blue® ensures minimal maintenance when used in conjunction with all elements of the Waratah Fencing System. You will soon realise you can’t afford not to use Waratah Longlife Blue® wire.
