How We Approach Fencing North of the River
Many lots here are wider than in the southern suburbs, with older homes, sheds and open yards.
Major Murrumbidgee floods have reached this side of the river in the past. A solid fence across the flow of water can trap debris and be pushed over.
Where water may cross your land, we talk about open designs such as wire, mesh or slats.
Jobs on the river flats:
- House yard fences around older homes
- Paddock and horse fences on larger lots
- Repairs after wet seasons
- Pool barriers for backyard pools

Choosing a fence
Solid or Open Fences in North Wagga Wagga
The right fence on the floodplain balances privacy against how water moves.
Solid Fences
Steel panels and lapped palings give privacy around the house.
- Best for: side fences near the home
- Watch for: debris build-up in floods
- Footing: deeper posts in soft soil
Ask council about any flood rules for your lot.
Open Fences
Wire, mesh and slats let water and air through.
- Best for: paddocks and rear yards
- Benefit: less load in a flood
- Trade-off: less privacy
Open fences are easier to clear after high water.

Questions About Fencing on the River Flats
Do you build fences in North Wagga Wagga?
Yes. We cover the whole suburb, from homes near the levee to larger semi-rural lots further out.
Is a solid fence a bad idea on the floodplain?
Not always, but solid fences can catch floodwater and debris. On parts of a lot where water flows, open wire or slat fences are often a better fit.
Can you fix a fence damaged by flooding?
Yes. Once the ground is firm enough, we reset or replace posts and rebuild damaged sections.
Do you do horse fencing here?
Yes. Plain wire with sighter tape and offset wires suits horse paddocks on the bigger blocks.
