Te Matuku Peninsula Conservation Estate
At the 167-hectare Te Matuku Peninsula estate on Waiheke Island, Fence Force spent three months repairing existing fences to stockproof condition, installing new wire-and-batten fencing and setting up OneFarm steel stockyards. The team coordinated 70 tonnes of materials transported by barge, including hundreds of posts and strainers and kilometres of wire.
Making a 167-hectare estate stockproof.
The Te Matuku Peninsula project centred on making existing fences stockproof across a large Waiheke Island property.
Fence Force repaired existing fencing and installed new wire-and-batten fencing where required, alongside new OneFarm steel stockyards.
Island logistics formed a major part of the work, with around 70 tonnes of materials carried over by barge during the three-month programme.
The job by the numbers.

An island project with major logistics.
A fencing programme this large required more than getting posts and wire onto the property.
Fence Force coordinated barge transport for around 70 tonnes of materials, including hundreds of posts and strainers and kilometres of wire.
Once on site, the work focused on restoring stockproof boundaries and installing the new fencing and stockyards needed for property management.
Stockproof boundaries. Functional yards.
The team worked through existing fence lines to repair and improve stockproofing, added new wire-and-batten fencing where required, and installed OneFarm steel stockyards.

Capability you can actually see.
The Te Matuku job demonstrates the coordination needed to deliver major fencing work on an island estate, from freight logistics to usable stockyards and stockproof fence lines.

Large estates. Everyday rural work.
Te Matuku shows Fence Force’s ability to coordinate island deliveries and extensive fencing upgrades. The same practical approach applies to smaller farm fences, yard repairs and new rural fencing.
Rural work. Big and small.
From everyday farm fencing through to retaining, equestrian infrastructure and specialist vineyard work, Fence Force takes on rural projects of all sizes.
