July 7, 2025

When you’re looking to fence your rural property, small acreage or hobby farm, you need a boundary fence that’s tough, easy to install, and built for Aussie conditions. That’s where Southern Wire Yard Fence comes in—a strong, practical fencing solution that’s perfect for a wide range of rural applications.
While the name might sound like it belongs in a sheep or cattle yard, Southern Wire Yard Fence is actually designed as a versatile boundary fence. Ideal for lifestyle blocks, farm driveways, small paddocks, and even around sheds or gardens.
Let’s break down what it is, where it fits, and why it could be the right fencing solution for your property.

What Is Southern Wire Yard Fence?
Yard Fence is a prefabricated high-tensile wire fence, manufactured from 2.50mm heavily galvanised wire to provide long-lasting strength in rural environments.
It’s available in two sizes:
- 90cm high
- 120cm high
Each option features 10cm squares, offering a clean, uniform boundary fence that’s ideal for containing pets, marking property lines, or protecting gardens and infrastructure from wildlife.
Key features of Yard Fence
Southern Wire Yard Fence is purpose-built for lifestyle and rural fencing jobs. Here’s why property owners across Australia are turning to it:
- Stronger than Welded Mesh
Thanks to its high-tensile wire construction, Yard Fence is far stronger and more resilient than basic welded mesh. It holds shape, resists sagging, and is much better suited to Aussie terrain. - Heavy Galvanised Wire
The heavily galvanised finish ensures your fence won’t rust or weaken over time, even in high rainfall or coastal areas. It’s a set-and-forget solution that stands up to the elements. - Pet & Wildlife Control
Yard Fence is commonly used to keep dogs in and wildlife out. It’s a great option for backyard fences, driveway runs, and garden protection.
Whether you’re a first-time hobby farmer or upgrading your existing setup, Southern Wire Yard Fence is a reliable, easy-to-use fencing option that delivers long-term value.
