Order

“We put all the posts in with a Fencepro post driver, all the holes are spiked first, we have had very few posts break on us while being driven and because of the price if one breaks because of stock pressure it is quickly replaced. We have been recommending Repost to our local community.”

Glen Cary Station, Hakataramea
“Using recycled posts helps reduce the farm’s environmental impact. We’ve also passed on the posts to six other local farmers and hope other farms in our Waimata catchment will be keen to jump on board with using Repost too.”

Waipura Station, Waimata
”We have to date installed 2 km of fencing and plan to fence a further 2km at least . Overall, they have been a cost effective quality fence posts. Tightly bundled for easy transport. We highly recommend.”
