Which fence is the right fence to use????

Did you know… the knot in your fence could be the difference between a kangaroo bounce-back and a total wire blowout? 🦘💥

🐮 Griplock Fixed Knot
Built like a brick outhouse. This is your go-to for high-pressure zones—think feral animals, kangaroos, or livestock with attitude. It won’t slip, sag, or give in. Perfect for boundary fencing in rough terrain or high-traffic paddocks.
Use when: You need strength and zero movement.
🐑 Square Knot
The smooth operator. Safe for livestock with no sharp edges and tight enough to keep vertical wires from wandering. Ideal for general-purpose fencing across flat or gently rolling land.
Use when: You want reliable, everyday fencing that’s gentle on animals.
🌾 Hinge Joint
The flexible friend. Moves with the land and your livestock—great for hilly areas or spots where animals like to lean. Needs clipping to top, middle, and bottom wires to stay strong.
Use when: You’ve got undulating terrain and active stock.
🛠️ Ring Joint
Old-school and easy to fix. Handy for quick installs and repairs, but it’s more prone to sagging and sliding under pressure.
Use when: You’re fencing on a budget or need a temporary solution.

💡 Fence knot choice isn’t just about wire—it’s about your land, your animals, and how much mischief they get up to.
