Intermediate Fencing Workshop (Female only)

want to be ready to tackle some bigger fencing jobs?

In this intermediate workshop Matt will show you how to build wallaby proof fences. He'll also show you how to use fence strainers and tie strainer knots. These replace gripples and cost nothing.

In the afternoon we'll look at some tricky fence repairs.

What to bring

Eye protection, safety glasses or wrap around sunglasses.

Leather or cut proof nylon gloves

Hearing protection, ear muffs or ear plugs (Air pods or other ear buds don't count).

 Appropriate clothing for the weather on the day, such as a sun hat, rain coat or given this is Tasmania both at the same time.

If you don't have the safety gear you won't be able to fully participate in the workshop. Bunnings have all this available, RSEA safety have a good range too. 

Your local rural supplies store may have gloves, but I've found they don't stock a lot of safety gear. 

If you have any fencing gear already such as wire cutters, please bring them as I don't have enough for everyone.

if you have any questions please do ask them, because others will want to know the same things.
