NACC (Northern Agricultural Council) engaged Limestone Park to fence approximately 2km’s of coastal dunes running in front of the Lancelin town site.
The fence requested was post and rail over ring-lock; however we suggested using three strands of elastic horse sighter wire in lieu of the ring-lock. The reason we suggested this style of fence, was to limit damage to the fence caused by people who disregarded its purpose and took short cuts to the beach “through” the fence, as the elastic wire springs back into position after their passage, as opposed to the ring-lock which would have remained out of shape had they used it as a foot hold to climb over the fence, this along with being an easier fence to clear of the unavoidable build-up of vegetation regrowth along the fence line.
Limestone Park had to construct the fence while still allowing public access along the beach foot path. When we completed the fence, we were told that this was the best fence yet, constructed for them.
