CHAIRMAN’S REPORTHi all
Well another year has just gone by and another starting, for the majority of us out there let’s hope it is a great deal better then 2010.
Just talking to members throughout the country no one has been immune to the ugly R word.
Some like my own business did it really hard in late 2009 and through the first ¾ of 2010, while others that were still going along nicely have now started to feel it late in 2010, so it is affecting everyone differently and in different times.
Our own business has seen a major lift in inquiry and contract success rates over the last 3 months with jobs growing while we are on site. This and forward bookings we haven’t seen numbers like this since 2007 so maybe light is finally at the end of the tunnel.
For those of you that are now seeing a major slow down and a major effect in your business please communicate with your partners and also your banks and accountants, believe it or not they are actually there to help you. Even give us a call at FCANZ and we are more than happy to talk with you or put you in touch with someone that has been in the same position.
Anyway, on to a more positive note, At FCANZ we are still moving forward with our marketing plan. You will have seen our logo pop up in different publications and also you will be seeing core flute signs appearing on prominent road fences that have been constructed by our
members who have done a quality job. So please let us know if you have a road fence on a state highway that looks good and is up to industry best practice and we will endeavour to get a FCANZ core flute on to it, Just email [email protected] with the details and we will follow it up.
The Executive has decided it’s now time to move FCANZ forward in another big step and change the present system where it is run by a volunteer Executive committee to having an Operations Manager. FCANZ will still be directed by the current format for the Executive but the operations manager will be doing the majority of the work that we have all been doing on a volunteer basis. This will enable FCANZ to move forward at a quicker rate and become more recognised as a professional organisation.
With this being a mid to long-term plan to be able to achieve this we first need to get more funding on board to enable us to pay for this position so we will be contracting out a position of Sales Representative to help build up funding from more members and Partners.
So overall another busy and very exciting year ahead for us as we take FCANZ to the next level.
Remember we have our annual AGM and Conference this year on the 13/14/15th of May at Blenheim so put those dates aside and be there. Knowing John Noakes he will have another great weekend planned for us.

advertoriaL – hautaPu Pine
Hautapu Pine Products Ltd is a family owned company located just north of Taihape. Hautapu Pine began producing posts in the mid ‘80s on a very small scale. With the construction of a new mill in 2001, production increased considerably and has exceeded 1 million posts per year. The new mill has been described as the most effi cient roundwood mill in New Zealand.
Hautapu Pine aims to produce high quality roundwood, and the company regularly hears comments from customers about the quality of its product. The specifi cations of the logs sourced, staff training, quality checking, mill design, and overall culture of the company are the features that enable them to achieve the high quality of their posts and poles.
To effi ciently produce a post without wood defects (i.e. knots, bends, saw cuts, machine damage etc) you need a source of good quality logs. Hautapu Pine has long-standing relationships with the forests where it purchases logs and so the forestry crews are knowledgeable on the log quality required for post production.
Another important feature of the logs is the age of the tree and/or the speed at which the tree has grown. The older and the slower that the tree has grown the better. Hautapu Pine sources its logs from several mature forests in the central North Island and the company doesn’t purchase any logs from immature stands of trees. According to the manager, Susan Benson, she often gets calls from people with trees that are 10-15 years old thinking that they are perfect for posts. “Although the logs would be cheap and they would make posts with a nice smooth fi nish, we don’t buy them because the wood is too soft.”
When Hautapu Pine designed its current mill, one of the design requirements was to aid in the production of a quality post. The fi rst feature that assists in this is the ability to reject a log out of the mill if the cutter deems the quality of the log to be poor. This means that sub-standard logs aren’t cut into sub-standard posts.
The next quality feature of the mill is the position of the post peeler operator. The operator sits in a cabin which is slightly elevated and directly in front of the post peeler. The peeler can clearly see the whole length of the post as it is being peeled and so this enables him to better gauge the depth to peel the log and to get a clean, even fi nish. Most other post producers in New Zealand have the operator standing at the in-feed end of the peeler, but this doesn’t provide such a good view of the log and a poorer environment in which to concentrate.
The fi nal feature of the mill which aids in producing quality is the circular grading table. The fi nished products are fed onto a slowly rotating circular table. The slow movement of the table means that the graders have time to grade the size of the posts accurately and to assess the post for any deformities.
All staff carry sets of grading blocks to measure the products and accuracy of grading is part of the weekly quality checks. Posts are measured at their smallest place whether it be at the end of the post or part way along.
Hautapu Pine’s grading system is very transparent. For instance, a No.1 Quarter is stated to have a measurement of 100-125mm. This means that the minimum measurement of every post will be between 100-125mm. The quarter isn’t necessarily measured at the end – if it is narrower in the middle, then the smallest face is measured at that point. And rounds will be measured by their smallest diameter. Susan Benson has a cautionary word for buyers with regards to grades - “Customers have to be wary of products that are quoted as being a single measurement e.g. 100mm. What does this mean? Is that the maximum size you will get, the average, or what? It always pays to ask what you’re being quoted on or to go and see the products for yourself.”
Taking pride in Quality

Training is a crucial component of producing a quality post. “It doesn’t matter how many features you have in your mill, if staff don’t know what to reject you won’t end up with a good product” says Hautapu Pine’s production manager, Pete MacLean. “I train staff on all aspects of quality and what the company regards as acceptable and unacceptable. The staff also receive regular feedback on quality through the weekly checks that we undertake and this keeps quality top of mind with the guys.”
FCANZ are displaying these corfl ute signs on prominent fences throughout New Zealand.
Contact Andrew Cave if you want to help with getting the word out.
To some people, a post is just a post. But Hautapu Pine and its staff take pride in what they do and take pride in producing quality posts for their customers.

Business tiPs
Good credit management starts with your own systems. The best way to ensure that you get paid promptly is to ensure you have good systems in place that increase the cashfl ow into your business and minimise the risks of not getting paid. These fi ve steps will help you strengthen your cashfl ow and eliminate many debt problems before they occur.
When it comes to the task of chasing debtors for money owed to your business, prevention is far better than cure. In other words, do everything possible fi rst to make sure that your invoices are paid on time and you will eliminate many later problems.
Here are fi ve steps to help you:
1. To get good results, follow sound proceduresEstablishing clear rules, systems and procedures at the start is the best way to make sure that you avoid problems later.
Avoid off ering credit Work at reducing the number of credit accounts you off er. If possible, avoid extending credit at all. Try to get payment straight away - you thereby eliminate all subsequent credit problems. Many inexperienced business owners lack the confi dence to ask for settlement straight away, but if you’re trading with individuals rather than businesses, try encouraging payment with the goods or when the work is fi nished. For example, tradespeople should ask their customer “Are you happy with the job?” and when they say “Yes”, produce the invoice. The customer’s natural reaction to you writing an invoice is to reach for their wallet or chequebook.
Even if you’re dealing with commercial fi rms, try to off er credit only to regular customers who have a proven record of paying on time. The results will improve your cashfl ow and minimise the unproductive and unpleasant aspects of chasing debtors.
Be choosy in extending credit Many debtor problems arise because credit has been unwisely extended to unsuitable individuals or businesses. New businesses in particular are typically eager to gain sales, and feel awkward about putting customers through a credit application process. Credit is often automatically given to all comers, or extended on the judgement of the owner or manager without proper checks. This is a recipe for debt problems.
Although there is always an element of judgement involved in extending credit (clearly some larger or well-established businesses do not need to go through the credit check process), the process should be applied to the majority of businesses wanting credit.
Check creditworthiness Where circumstances dictate that you should provide credit, the customer should complete a standard credit application form - so you know exactly with whom you are dealing.
This is the time to discuss and agree on your credit terms with the customer, so that both parties are aware of when payment is expected.
If you don’t have such a form, ask one of your suppliers if you can use their form as a guide, or get a free sample from a local debt collection agency. Ask your lawyer and your accountant to review the form you choose; they will likely be able to suggest improvements.
The form should also include your terms of trade. Key points to consider:• Aprovisionforinterestpaymentsonoverdueamounts• Aprovisiontoaddcollectioncostsonaccountsyouhavetoreferfor
collection• Areservationoftitleclauseifyouselluniquelyidentifiableproducts• Apersonalguaranteefromadirector(ifyou’redealingwithalimited
liability company, and if you’re off ering a signifi cant level of credit).
If the customer refuses any of these, it is your business decision whether to take the risk of supplying on credit.
Check credit referees to make sure the individual or business has paid promptly in past dealings with other businesses.
If in any doubt, ask a credit agency for a credit check on a prospective business or person. Consult the Credit Advice Services section of the Yellow Pages for details of other companies off ering this service.
2. Create effi cient systemsWithout an effi cient system for invoicing customers or clients, and for following up on slow payers, a business is heading for debt collection problems.
Be effi cient and prompt at invoicing Customers will not pay until they have been invoiced, because the invoice provides a record of the transaction they need for their accounting.
A common failing in new businesses is to imagine that the sale is everything (or certainly the most exciting part) and that invoicing can be done later - often much later. The sooner you invoice customers, the sooner you can get paid. It really is as simple as that.
There is no rule that states invoicing should be left until the end of the month. Instead, complete invoices as sales are made and post them off promptly.
Use e-commerce if possible If you can, email invoices to customers. This is an even speedier way of getting the invoice to them than the post, and the sooner the invoice is receiving attention, the sooner you are likely to get paid. Emailed invoices also save on postage and stationery, and make sending reminders fast and easy.
Five steps to make sure you get paid

Business tiPs (cont)
Set shorter terms Many people seem to think that ‘payment by the 20th of the month following invoice date’ is a tradition that has to be followed. It is not.
Change your payment terms for new customers to: ‘Terms: payment within 7 days’ and you are well on the way to improving your cashflow. For your existing customers you can phase in the new terms (for example, announce the change will take place at the start of the next financial year).
Some (usually larger) companies will insist on the familiar 20th of the month, but many others will pay more promptly.
Again, the time to clarify your terms with customers is when you first extend them credit. Simply ask: “We require payment within 7 days of the invoice date. Will that suit you?”
Eliminate statements if possible End of month statements simply sum up what the customer owes. This extra administrative step costs time and money, so why not eliminate it if possible?
You can do this in many cases by stating at the bottom of all your invoices in bold: ‘Please pay on this invoice as no statement will be sent’.
Some customers - again, typically larger ones who receive multiple invoices from you - will insist on end of month statements, but many others will happily pay against an invoice. More importantly, you’ll get your money more quickly as people won’t be waiting for a statement to arrive.
If you do have to send statements, avoid the layout common to many statements that shows how long payments have been outstanding:
30 days - 60 days - 90 days - Total
This layout simply encourages habitually tardy payers by signalling that you are prepared to wait up to 90 days for payment - after all, it’s on the statement! Remember that some businesses will be only too happy to use your business as a free source of finance if they feel they can get away with it.
Don’t give them any encouragement in this regard whatsoever. A better layout omits the time spans, for example:
Current - Overdue - Total
If necessary, you can point out by how long the amount is overdue when you follow up such an overdue account.
3. Get on to problems earlyFollow up unpaid invoices promptly Once you have put in place an efficient invoicing system, don’t waste the momentum by not following up overdue invoices promptly.
It is all too easy to neglect this task, because few people really enjoy chasing up people for money. Here’s what should convince you: the longer you leave an unpaid invoice, the less likely your chances of getting paid.
Stick to your terms of payment There is no point in setting out terms of payment and then not sticking to them. Tardy payers will soon work out that you don’t mean what you say and will react accordingly. Be firm but fair.
If people have accepted your credit terms, then you have a right to expect payment on time, and you are entitled to contact them if this does not happen. Most people are honest and will pay on time.
But for the late payers it’s important to get on top of the problem early. Remember that the age of the account is critical.
The advantage of requiring payment within 7 days is that you can send out three reminders within the first month.
By contrast, ‘payment by the 20th of the month following invoice date’ means you might only be aware of a problem up to 50 days after your first sale of goods or services. In the meantime, the customer might have bought more goods or supplies from you, adding to the debt problem.
Review all your credit accounts regularly and telephone those who have not paid within the agreed period. The earlier you start your credit control, the more relaxed you can make your initial contact.
Cut off credit if necessary Adopt a consistent ‘stop credit’ policy of refusing to supply customers who are seriously overdue, and have not responded to your follow-up (for example, 60 days overdue). Ask the customer to settle the outstanding debt first before you supply more goods and services. This policy acts as a discipline both for you and the customer and limits any further losses.
4. Set debt reduction targetsAge your debtors regularly and set reduction targets. For example, if the average age of your debtors’ ledger is 55 days, set a target of reducing this to 40 days. (Ask your accountant or Business Banking Manager for help if you’re uncertain how to work out the average age of your debtors).
Your accountant may have a benchmark figure you can use to measure your business against others. For example, if the average for your industry is 40 days but your business takes an average of 47 days to collect debts, your business is less efficient than the industry norm, and there is room for improvement.
The faster you collect debt, the better your cashflow situation will be (and the more attractive your business is to a potential buyer, if you wish to sell it at some stage).
5. Avoid these common trapsFinally, be aware of these traps for the unwary.
Beware of large orders You may be delighted to get that large order, but what happens if you commit significant resources to fulfilling it and payment is delayed - or you end up not getting paid at all? At least make sure you’ve checked creditworthiness and received guarantees. If possible ask for a deposit or arrange for progress payments - these steps will both improve your cashflow and reduce your exposure.
Danger of the single customer It is better to spread your risk over 10 smaller customers or clients than be dependent on one large customer for your business. If your business is dependent on one customer (or just a few customers), make customer diversification a top priority.
The new business target If you are a new business, be aware that you could be a target for people who have exhausted their credit (and credibility) elsewhere. Limit your risk by following the procedures outlined in this guide. Joining networks, your local industry group, chamber of commerce or the Employers and Manufacturers Association (ask your Business Banking Manager for further details) will also help keep you in touch with what is happening in the business community.

The inaugural national ‘Ag in Action’ event planned for 10 & 11 February 2011 have confi rmed a huge line up of exhibitors to be demonstrating their machines on site.
With only a few weeks to go the event will showcase the ‹who’s who› of machinery companies in New Zealand cementing this event as a ‹must attend› for agricultural contractors and large scale farmers. Origin Agroup, Agco, John Deere, Claas, Tullock Farm Machines, Hubbards Machinery, Norwoods, Lely, Power Farming, Reese Engineering & Webbline will all be showcasing their latest machines with live demonstrations throughout the event days.
Event Manager Andrew Reymer says “there will be an amazing turnout of gear from these companies, with many of them bringing factory trained drivers over specifi cally for this event, to showcase the best from their gear”.
These large scale exhibitors will also be joined by PGG Wrightsons seeds, Nufarm, Balance Agri nutirients and Cross Slot in an ‘Industry Best practise’ area showcasing the best in latest technology. They will demonstrate what can be achieved using good husbandry in crops such as turnip, forage rape and chicory. Alongside the Industry Best practise area
‘Ag in Action’and
‘Fencing in Action’
Pioneer will be showcasing their 1.2 hec maize strip trials to demonstrate their agronomy methods and varieties.
Fitting in with industry best practice and the demonstrative concept, Fencing in Action (FIA) is a designated fencing industry area which shows machinery, materials and products in a working environment, utilising fencing contractor demonstrators who will also focus on installation techniques. Comments Andrew Reymer “the combination of demonstrations/industry best practice and the actual machines, materials and products in FIA really helps reinforce what Ag in Action is about – pushing existing boundaries and exploring new concepts for a demonstrative event”.
The event has also attracted visitor interest from The Netherlands and Australia with local based tour companies seeing interested agricultural machinery enthusiasts enquire from far afi eld. Andrew Reymer commented ‘he isn’t surprised interest is coming from Australia’ - this machinery demonstration event is ‘one of a kind’ in Australasia and there are many people who have been waiting to see something like this fi nally happen. This is more than just showcasing machinery to a dedicated audience; it›s also celebrating all that is good in the industry and a great chance to get together and network with likeminded others, and compares diff erent methods towards modern farming systems. www.agaction.co.nz
Fencing in Action Fencing in Action (FIA) is conceived to off er a dynamic new formula for a Field day event. FIA unites the fencing industry into one area within the 65 hectare Ag in Action Event.
Fencing in Action is designed to allow you to provide input. Yes the focus is on what we term Industry best practice but there are many ways of doing things, especially in relation to systems and fi guring out what works best in your business. We have no doubt you might just teach those involved in the event a thing or two and you’re welcome to do that. We all need to learn continually to keep ahead in business. We’d enjoy seeing you, your partners and staff onsite – free training for them is how some are looking at it for their fencing staff . It’s also a way to look over products and in some instances try them out in a non-committal manner.
At time of print 20 fencing industry Exhibitors are participating within FIA, representing various exhibitors from key product categories, all of which are necessary for fence line installation.
Exhibitors are distributed over four fence line types. Fencing Contractors are being used as Demonstrators and will be using exhibitor’s materials, products and tools in the installation.
The end result is a mix of tractors, post drivers, timber suppliers, electrics, wire and associated tools within each demonstration area which combine towards building that fence type.
Demonstration Areas are 1. Post, wire and batten with Demonstrator Paul Van Beers from
Porangahau Hawkes Bay.2. Post and rail with Demonstrator Rob Best from Puni.3. Electrics with Simon Fuller from Pirongia.4. Netting Inc. deer with Owen Petersen Hunterville.
Demonstration Area 1 combines• Wiremark wire – 2.5mm, 3.15mm, 4mm and 2.5mm coastal wire.
Wiremark supply to a number of wire companies and their product is strongly branded with the Distinctive Wiremark brand.

ProFiLe
Whist Andy was born in Dunedin he is in all purposes a Taihape local; just ask any business or local in town if they know Andy and the answer will be a resounding yes!
Andy’s family moved to Taihape when he was 5 with his father taking up the position of manager at a local garage.
Andy attended the local schools from primary through to Taihape College where he achieved School Cert; this enabled him to take up a position with the then current Farm Cadet scheme which was widely run throughout New Zealand.
Andy went to work for Merv Williams at Kopia Station in the Ruatiti Valley district; Andy jokes his interview was conducted with only one question “can you use a handpiece” and after answering “yes” he spent the next 3 months dagging.
Andy then stayed there as a General Hand but because he was “useless” [Andy’s own words] with dogs he started with a fencing gang that was working the Ruatiti district.
Andy attended a Fencing course at Flock House that Frank Prince was running and was really surprised by the diff erent styles of fencing compared to the Fencing gang he was working for at the time. Andy indicates that the chambering of Strainer tops and the planing of stays was a huge leap from what he was doing and he was impressed by the various types of footing systems. Most fencers can sympathise with Andy when he says that he started using some of the new techniques with a little reluctance due to the possibility of ridicule from the farmers and co-workers; but once he could see the added strength and benefi ts to using the new systems he quickly embraced them and is still using them to this day.
Around the late 80’s Andy then got tied up with a Fencing Crew from Taihape who worked the East Coast from Northern Wairarapa through to Tolaga Bay. They fenced all style’s and types from conventional Sheep and Beef to Electrics through to Deer Netting and when the work ran out they turned to handpiece work to keep them going.
In 1989 the opportunity to go to Canada came up with a mate of Andy’s giving him the call up to give a hand on a new Project that was starting up. The project was the Oldman River dam - after the many droughts, such as that experienced by southern Alberta farmers in 1982, and the lack of water resources for local communities, the Government of Alberta
in the late 1980’s began the development of the Oldman River dam, to bring the valuable resource of water to farmers and citizens of Alberta. The Oldman River Dam Project was completed about ten years ago. It regulates downstream fl ow, by storing water in an on-stream reservoir for use in dry periods. Government offi cials at the time said, the dam was not only to regulate waters for current farmers but also it will allow another 174,000 acres, or at least 340 new farming units. Its vision was large, to compensate farmers with long needed water and to make the region a fertile new source of agriculture to Alberta. Government offi cials heralded the project as a life giver to the people of southern Alberta!
Andy indicated that the standard of fencing in Canada was low and they were seen as the ‘experts’ from New Zealand.
In fairness to the Canadian fencers the ground conditions were extreme, Andy says it was like the worst kind of Papa rock, which meant enterprising techniques had to be thought up. They converted a water blaster with a ½ inch pipe and a grease nipple on the end to blasting pilot holes into the ground, the norm seem to be 1 hole in the middle and 4 holes around for strainers – so eventually they were going from banging a strainer 100 times to just several times on average.
One of the struggles with working in Canada was getting the right equipment for the job; Andy states that we take the huge range of products we have available at any local Ag store for granted – in Canada they were relying on pre-ordering just about everything. The standard gear for actual fencing was the use of a Post Driver mounted behind a Utewiththewaterblasterandtankbehindthepostdriver.
Some facts - Foots consisted of Rocks on the top of posts; 16 ½ foot between posts; posts were untreated Ponderosa Pine and as the climate is so dry over there they would still be standing now; 4 x barbwire on each fence line; horizontal assemblies used for all ends and angles; all Canadian fencers and farmers were blown away with the standard of the New Zealanders.

motto: “Take the Path of Least Resistance!”

ProFiLe (cont)
Andy was enjoying the work in Canada so did the next two seasons over there and worked the summers here and when that was fi nished and with the view of keeping out of a wet cold Taihape winter he did the next three seasons working in Aussie tractor driving and fencing.
He found the standard in Aussie quite low as well; they were using Jarrah posts and White gum strainers which meant – heavy! Andy spent some of his time teaching other fencers and general hands how to foot and stay but as he said because of the complete lack of stock pressure you didn’t actually need to fence very well for the fence to do the job it was built for.
Whilst Andy was travelling back and forth he brought a house; this was also when he met up with his partner Jo. I asked the question where did they meet and in typical ‘Fluery’ humour Andy said “Jo could see I was having way too much fun so decided to move in”… you can take this either way. They got engaged in 2000 and yep they are still engaged!
In 1997 Andy started working locally again but this time directly for himself. He started at the Frew Family Partnership and then starting getting lots of work on the Gentle Annie Road [Napier – Taihape Rd] working the stations out there in the summer months and back in Taihape/ Waiouru /Ohakune in the wintertime.
Andy’s gear at this stage consisted of a Stihl 2 man borer with tungsten tipped augers plus the full range of required hand tools. His work ‘truck’ I mean car was a Peugeot 504 which Andy reckons was just what all aspiring fencers should be after, had a ton of guts and not too bad on the fuel… ground clearance was an issue but that’s where the ton of guts was handy.
Over recent years Andy has been working on the numerous roading contracts within the Ruapehu district, with Andy and his guys fencing off the latest stage of construction on the newly sealed Gentle Annie Road and still fi nds time to fence on some of the best Sheep and Beef country in New Zealand, stations like Otupae, Mangahone, Erewhon, and Springvale.
Andy is currently working for Atihau Incorporation’s, Station Manager Olly Dickson. Olly is managing the Ohotu and Tohunga Stations where they are fattening over 40,000 lambs before they move onto prime markets.
With this sort of volume of stock management one of Ollie’s and now Andy’s headaches has been to ensure that all paddocks are fenced to maximise the best use of the feed.
Atihau Incorporation has installed a Central Pivot irrigation system over a 75 hectare cultivation block to increase pasture production. This block is serviced by an existing laneway and has new subdivisonal fencing constructed within the irrigation radius.
The problem for Andy has been trying to work within the existing operation – and as the stock is primarily lambs the option of pie fencing was not going to be effi cient, so the juggling act was to incorporate square and rectangle paddocks without causing the approach angle of the Pivot wheels to be too steep to the line wire…As Olly Dickson explained “the gearboxes on Pivots are very expensive and wrapping wire around them too many times can cause major on-going problems to all the gearboxes”.
Family comes up straight off the bat when I asked Andy what’s his drive in life…”you’re a long time looking at the lid”….” We don’t work weekends – which that time is for the family doing things like hunting and motorbikes”
Andy has enjoyed the hunting on off er in the Ruapehu district…he jokes that it wasn’t until the late 90’s that he realised that he was actually
working on properties that were deer heaven – as he said at that stage he was too busy chasing beer bottles to notice. Andy now gears most of his hunting around getting his 3 boys [aged 7-11] out into the fi eld as well and has picked up the sport of technical shooting [long range] with his new acquisition a Sako TRG 338 Lapua [sorry Andy not sure if Jo knows about this particular rifl e…]
In terms of the outlook for the future Andy knows the droughts we are experiencing impact on the returns farmers are getting “people are only spending money when they have it as opposed to speculation”. Andy is fi nding they are called onto do more subdivisions with the view of enhancing the infrastructure of farms – thinking smarter.
A lot of contractors can sympathise with this when Andy indicates that he is becoming a consultant fi rst before a fencer….the road that FCANZ has been pushing for some time.
Andy employs two staff and reckons that’s as big as he will get….Andy prefers to call on other contractors to give him a hand on a big job rather than take the risk of employing more staff .
Geoff Strange has been with Andy for the past 8 odd years after coming from a variety of jobs. Geoff actually has a Land Surveying Degree which he took into the NZ Army working with their mapping department. After the stint with the Army he worked as a General farm hand around Taihape and got introduced to Andy through his brother who was working for Andy at the time. Geoff is more than capable to run the job and Andy relies on him to have the interaction with the farmer if he is tied up.
Jason WiPaki is Andy’s new employee [been with Andy for the past 12 months] and is enjoying the outdoor environment.
I asked Andy what’s his feelings on FCANZ and the work we are doing. As Andy says…” FCANZ is the latest and best attempt of getting a voice for the fencing industry… I want to see it continue and ensure that the standards are met – we need to get the info out to help eliminate the ‘cowboy’ fraternity”.
“I would like to see more united product and contract pricing…but the biggest thing I get is the camaraderie of meeting other fencers who you normally wouldn’t meet, talking about issues that we all share and fi nding that I’m not the only one with the same problem!”
Andy is disappointed with the odd contractor that he meets who say they don’t like coming to an AGM or Association day because they are scared they will end up on a committee or get a job – his challenge to all members is to get behind FCANZ – attend the AGM’s – “use it for the purpose it is set up for because it’s too late to make wishes in hind sight whenitsgone!….Utilisethequalificationsonoffer–IstarteddoingmyMaster Fencer and now hold my National Cert Level 3; we are going to start on the level 4 and this all looks good on a CV, especially with tendering so much council and district work!”
I fi nished off talking to Andy and asked what his wish list is for the future?• Continuetoenjoygoingtowork• Wouldliketodoanotherseasonoverseas• Nostayoutsbecauseoffamily• Beabletochoosetheclientsandjobs• Pickthejobswherethedeerare!!!

In earlier pioneering times while native bush was being cleared, timber for fencing could normally be found within reasonable distance of a proposed fence line. Totara was the preferred timber. Totara is renowned for its durability, particularly in-ground, which is attributed to the high levels of protective oils in the timber itself. Many of the large Totora posts found in old fence lines have deteriorated at ground level but are still in good condition both above and below the ground.
Exotic timbers now provide most of the structural material for fencing. By far the majority of this is the Pines - Radiata and Corsican, with Douglas Fir also used. The demand for this product has created a very quick turnaround from planting to shop room floor with the growing and processing times becoming shorter and shorter. This generally sees a decrease in quality amongst posts and timber.
Timber Post TreatmentAny round wood or timber post which sits on or under the ground, needs to be treated to H4 or higher. H1 – H6 is the rating system for timber treatments which prevents rot and decay.
Treatment level Application Typical usage
H3 Outside:For wood exposed tothe weather and inground contact.
•Decking•Fencebattens•Gardenfurniture•Trellis
H4 In ground:For wood exposed tothe weather and inground contact. Nonstructural use.
•Fenceposts•Landscaping
H5 In ground structural:For wood exposed tothe weather, in ground and fresh water contact; and in high risk, load-bearing applications.
•Housepiles•Retainingwalls•Verandasupports•Horticulture•Viticulture•Fences(inset conditions)
H6 Marine:For permanent saltwater immersion.

Strength of timberThe strength of timber depends upon a number of factors Apart from post diameter; the next most important feature is the density of the outer wood, and the presence of defects.
Knots and other defects will reduce the strength of a post, but the effect is less severe than in sawn timbers. This is because the natural growth process generates nodal swellings around knots, which increase the local strength. When these are cut or planed off the result is a major loss of strength. However, providing posts are not machine shaved, but are merely trimmed and debarked, the nodal swellings retain much of their strength, and compensate for the presence of a knot.
There are other productions techniques such as drying that affect the durability and strength of the post.
Choosing your materialWhen you go to buy your posts you should check what your are buying.There are certain things to look out for
• Makesureallthepostsareuniform(allasimilarsize)• Makesuretherearenoknotsordamagetotheroundwood.• Checktheirdensity
Check you have the posts with the right treatment for the job you want to.
Size and ShapePosts are described by their shape.• Round, half-round, quarter-round - these are called “Round-wood
material”, compared to fully sawn, which is not commonly used.
Size relates to diameter and length.The diameter is measured and called the minimum small end diameters (SED) In other words the smallest end is measured. For half-round and quarter-round posts the size is denoted by face width. A quarter round is calculated by doubling the flat surface to get the diameter.
Timber posts are graded on their minimum diameter. This is called the SED (Small end diameter) and the LED (Large end diameter) 200mm
PAGE 25
SoilYou should also know the type of soil you will be digging your posts into because that will aff ect your choices. A soft soil or wet soil will require you to dig your post into the ground further than a fi rm soil.
A good fencer understands and can identify diff erent types of soil.

Come on guys – we hear it plenty of times “ must get that story to you”
– “hey took a great picture the other day – must sent it to you” – “ just
fi nished a great job; looks fantastic, should write an article about it” ... will
pull fi nger! Get that story to us!
And don’t say “what’s the date for the next WIRED – I’d get a story out if
I know what date etc…” It doesn’t matter what the actual date for the
next edition is – we attempt to get at least 3 editions out per year….we
would love to have a number of articles on fi le so we can put them in as
we require them!
Also a call out to all the guys – and yes you know who you are – who have made comments towards the WIRED – cool, there have been some great ideas from you – but talk is cheap – put pen to paper and start walking the talk! ….and don’t say “mate if I only had the time” because, mate, none of us have got the time – you know the average of 5 days unpaid work to get the WIRED out sort of time!
This is an Industry magazine – that only works if we have a number of diff erent views from within the industry – we have a huge wealth of knowledge and skills within this industry – let’s start publishing the fact...let’s start walking the talk...
On this page we have an article

The world leader in electric fencing, tools, animal weighing and milk metering is a remarkably quiet achiever.
In addition to producing around 80% of the world’s animal weigh scales and milk metering equipment, Tru-Test Group and has some of the best known and trusted brands of electric fencing and fencing tools equipment.
Impressive, certainly, but the company behind it all likes to let its brands do the talking.
Or, more accurately, the listening.
Tru Test Group’s impressive lineup of electric fencing, tools and farm gate products from iconic brands Stafi x, Speedrite, PEL and Hayes are a result of careful listening over decades. With a long history in fencing dating back to 1895 when young farmer Ernest Hayes began developing tools to help him turn his wilderness back country into productive land, Tru-Test Group has continued to apply Ernest’s philosophy to its fencing, tools and gate ranges. That is developing products that work for farmers.
Over the decades many innovations have emerged from Hayes, Stafi x, PEL and Speedrite. From the original Hayes world-famous parallel wire strainer created in 1906 (chain strainer), to the world’s most popular largeenergizersandinnovativeUnigizer™rangetouniqueelectricfenceaccessories, Tru-Test Group products will stand the test of time.
“After 12 years of netting, vineyard, electric, conventional and post and rail fencing, I have relied on HAYES products to see me through. From the rugged legendary wire strainers to the wire tension indicators. ”Jeremy KlingenderFencing Contractor & PGG Wrightson Technical Field Rep.Ohakune
“When I started my own fencing company more than ten years ago I looked at the fencing tools on the market and went with the proven brand of Hayes, still to this day we use Hayes brand tools, we take pride in the fences we produce and are proud to say that Hayes has played a part in that”.Roy HerbertEx-Fence Contractor and Sales Manager, Hampden Fence Ltd
“After using Hayes products for over 30 years, I have found them a top quality brand, durable and easy to use. From the Hayes wire strainers to the new innovative Hayes SuperCrimp, all Hayes products are reliable and long lasting. Ask any cocky or pro fencer, they never want to go back to a fence after fi nishing it. Using Hayes quality fencing products [which have been around for donkeys years] will guarantee that.”Dick Ross,Fencing Contractor,Makarau.
Before beginning life in Tru-Test Group’s Auckland R&D facility, any Tru-Test product is intensively analysed on the farm.
In the past 12 months Tru-Test Group has launched a series of fencing innovations that refl ect the changing nature of farming and needs of farmers. They include the world’s most powerful energizer – a full 63 Joules output energy; the AN90 Portable Battery Energizer with solar panel and the 12J Unigizer (all available in Speedrite, Stafix and PELbrands) and even a new concept in gate hinges (Hayes & Cyclone brands).
And the message in this for fencers? Before you make a purchase decision in electric fencing, tools or gates take a moment to check the name behind it.
It certainly pays to makes sure it’s from Tru-Test Group.

wire and wire accessories
StaplesThere is a range of staples, all of which have different uses.
Staples are either galvanised or hot-dipped galvanised, which is more durable. Staples must have and retain at least as heavy a coat of galvanising as the wire they hold.
They are come as either:• Plainshanked,or• Barbed
Permanent StrainersAlso called in line strainers. These remain in the fence. Join two wires and can be tensioned as well, using a handle in a ratchet manner, others just tension the wires (see top)
These devices are commonly used on short strains (of up to 30m), as knots and crimps can lose their strain. With these devices they can be strained up at any time.
They are suitable for both electric and conventional fences as they can withstand strains of up to 150 kgf (if used with electric fences they must be insulated.)
They can be used with most wires except barbed and aluminium.
slice cut Barbed
The New Zealand Agricultural Engineering Institute tested the holding power of staples with plain and barbed shanks. In green posts the plain shank had the firmest hold on the wire but in dry posts barbed staples were best.
Barbed staples driven into green timber cut the fibres and were pulled out more easily.
Plain shanked is best for “green” posts, because the treatment salts corrode the barbs, leaving the staples loose. Barbed are better for dry posts. With soft wood longer staples are better than barbed.
Recommended staples:• Softwoodpost: 50or45x4mm• Hardwoodpost: 40x4mm• Softwoodbattens: 30x3.15mm
Post StaplesThese are longer and stronger than the smaller batten staples. Staples for pine posts need to have a barb on to make them hold in the post. Staples for hard wood have no barb and are slightly smaller. Barbed staples in these situations buckle. The approximate length of staples is 40 mm.
Batten StaplesThese staples are approximately 30 mm in length. For pine battens the staples have a barb and for hardwood battens they have no barb. Batten staples are forced home to hold the batten firm.
Fibreglass RodsThese rods have a special metal clip to attach them to the wires. These clip on to both sides of the wire and hold the rod firmly in place. There are also clips available for steel standards of varying types as well as hardwood battens and others.
Concrete Post StaplesConcrete posts have staples which are driven through the post in holes that are precast. The staples are made of No. 8 (4 mm) wire and bend over in a groove in the back of the post.
Crimps/JoinersWhere as there have been a few types of crimps on the market for many years Crimps are metal ‘sleeves’ put on the two wire ends and squashed, to hold the wire tight. Specialised crimpers are required to squash the crimps properly.
Crimping is stronger than any knot, and is applied when the wire is at the correct tension. No tension is lost after the wire strainers are removed. They are quick and easy to use, but you must have proper crimping tools.
The crimping device has very good conductivity and is commonly used on electric fences. They can be used on all sizes of wire – you just have to make sure you buy the correct sized crimp.
To crimp wires together1. Slide crimp sleeve onto the end of the fencing wire until 20cm of wire
is showing past the sleeve if you want to finish by wrapping the ends otherwise 6mm will do.
2. Push the wire to be joined through the opposite side of the crimp sleeve until 20 cm of wire is showing to finish by wrapping or 6mm if you are not.
3. Open the jaws of the crimping tool and place the jaws over the end of the crimp sleeve
4. Ensure that the jaws overlap the end of the crimp sleeve slightly and that the crimping tool is at right angles to the crimp sleeve. Compress the handles together
5. Slide the jaws of the crimping tool along the crimp sleeve without leaving shoulders between crimps.
Once the sleeve is completely crimped wrap the wire end around the wire 3- 4 revolutions and snap off. It is possible to cut the wire close without wrapping it but should the sleeve fail a wrapped assembly will still hold.

WireIn New Zealand a large number of alternative wire types and sizes are available. Traditionally 4mm diameter mild steel (known as No. 8 or `Farmer’s Friendly’) has been extensively used, but it has largely been superseded by smaller diameter high tensile steel wire, which is much cheaper for the same strength. Both of these wires have a galvanised zinc coating which protects the steel interior from corrosion. Wire should be manufactured to N.Z. Standard 3471, and the buyer should always check this before purchase.
Wire is sold in coils that are measured by weight.

High Tensile - 4.0mm, 3.15mm, 2.5mmHigh tensile wire is produced from steel rod which is forced (cold drawn through a series of dies to reduce the diameter of the wire progressively until the required size is reached. The galvanised zinc coating is then applied. The cold drawing process results in a metallurgical hardening of the wire which increases its tensile strength. At the same time the material becomes more resilient (i.e. it tends to be harder to deform permanently) but also more brittle.
Smaller diameter wire is frequently used as it is cheaper, but with adequate strength. Otherwise, there is little difference.
Stock containment: Very good as long as fence design is good – needs battens or be electrified. Has higher recommended tensions than mild steel (at the same diameter), which gives better stock containment.
Stock damage: Minimal damage to stock from the wire, unless wire ends are left protruding.
Durability: Galvanised, but not suited to coastal environments. The larger the wire diameter, the greater the long term durability.
Conductivity: Good. Extensively used in electric fencing. Larger diameter wire carries a greater current, but is not normally used due to cost.
Mild Steel - 4.0mm (No.8), 3.15mm, 2.5mm
Mild steel is a low carbon steel, and although produced in a similar manner to high tensile, it does not harden, due to its low carbon content. As a result it is less brittle, and less resilient, and can be bent into odd configurations easily. It has a lower tensile strength (i.e. a lower failure load per unit cross-sectional area), and so must be thicker in diameter to withstand the same tension (and costs more).
Stock containment: Good as long as fence design is good. Needs to have battens or be electrified. Can not be tensioned as much as High Tensile, therefore stock are more likely to push through.
Stock damage: Minimal damage to stock from the wire, unless wire ends are left protruding.
Durability: Galvanised, but not suited to coastal environments. The larger the wire diameter, the greater the long term durability.
Conductivity: Good. Larger diameter wire carries a greater current, but is not normally used due to cost.
Aluminium coated wire - 2.7mmThis consists of a high tensile steel centre to which a pure aluminium coating is metallurgically bonded. Typically, the coating accounts for 25% of the cross-sectional area, making it about 0.2 mm thick on 2.5 mm wire (giving a 2.7mm wire). As pure aluminium is low in strength and soft compared to steel, some care is needed to avoid damaging the coating. The wire must be handled with care (e.g., laying out rather than running out), and special staples and plastic wire protectors are required for stapling to avoid damaging the coating.
Special joiners should also be used instead of knots and alloy type permanent wire strainers rather than conventional chain strainers should be used for tensioning. The wire is relatively expensive; it is about two or three times dearer than ordinary high tensile steel wire of the same diameter. It is intended for situations where corrosion problems are acute such as lead out wires in electric fencing, and conventional fences in very corrosive environments.
Stock containment: Aluminium wire has a low recommended tension and is a soft wire. For adequate stock control it must be electrified.
Stock damage: Minimal damage to stock. Is more likely to break if stock gets tangles, preventing serious injury.
Durability: The aluminium coating, instead of zinc is designed for highly corrosive situations, such as coastal areas. It is much more resistant to rust, and has a longer lifespan.
Conductivity: Much more conductive than other wire. Very well suited to electric fencing.
Barbed wireBarbed wire usually consists of two galvanised wire strands wrapped together with sharp pieces of wire protruding every 100 mm or so. It is three times as expensive as 2.5 mm high tensile wire. Depending on the quality of the galvanising, the wire tends to rust early at the plaits and so has a limited life. It is still used by some farmers to prevent stock pushing their heads through a fence. However, the fence should be built strong enough to withstand loads produced under these circumstances.
Others use barbed wire to prevent stock from pushing wooden battens sideways along the fence. This can also be avoided by stapling the battens correctly. A third use is to prevent damage to netting, caused by stock leaning over the fence. Again adequate design could help to eliminate this problem.
Possibly the only suitable use of barbed wire is to deter humans and even this use is doubtful. Barbed wire is not recommended, not only for safety reasons, but because it will also damage hides and pelts, and electric fencing will usually do a better job wherever barbed wire is considered.
It must be stressed that barbed wire should NEVER be electrified. Stock or humans can be killed if they are unable to release themselves from an
PAGE 29
otherwise safe electric fence, and the possibility of becoming entangled in electrified barbed wire is too high to be safe. It is now illegal in New Zealand to electrify barbed wire.
Stock containment: Designed to stop stock pushing through wire, and leaning over fences. Barbed wire is often not tensioned as high as other wires; therefore stock can still push through the fence. Not as effective as electrification.
Stock damage: Barbed wire can damage skins, pelts, fleeces and can cause serious injuries to stock.
Durability: Although galvanised, it tends to rust early, especially at the barbs. It is normally handled with pliers, which damage the galvanising and make it prone to corrosion. It has a limited life.
Conductivity: It is illegal to electrify barbed wire, so it is of no use in electric fencing.
Barbed wire is available in both mild and High Tensile
Breaking strain of wireIf the tension is increased, eventually a point is reached where the strain stops being proportional to the stress. It is around this point that the Yield Point of the wire is reached. This is when the tension (stress) begins to permanently damage the wire. At this point the wire will not return to its original length – it has been permanently stretched.
If the wire is continued to be tensioned, it will eventually reach a maximum stress level, called the Tensile Strength. After this point the wire weakens, and breaks
Breaking strains of the various types of wires can be found:a) In manufacturers publications, e.g. in product guides put out by wire
companies.b) On the label of a new coil of wire. This is also called the Wire Mark,
and is normally located at the lead-out end of the coil of wire.
Wire DamageMost types of wires are protected by a coating of either zinc (galvanising) or aluminium. This protects the steel core. If the coating is damaged the wire is weakened and the life span of the wire is reduced.
Wire CorrosionCorrosion of a material is the removal of the material by chemical activity. If this coating is removed by mechanical or other means then corrosion will occur.
Factors influencing corrosion of wire:• Poor storage: Wire in coils, when wet will corrode more rapidly than
on the fence. Storage near fertilisers, chemicals and corrosive materials will also corrode the galvanising.
• Frequent wetting and drying: Such as occurs at ground level. Galvanised wire is not recommended where wire goes into the ground. Instead, use stainless steel wire.
• Contact with copper-chrome-arsenate (CCA) treated wood: The copper of the wood preservative reacts with the zinc causing rapid corrosion. This is particularly serious for wires in close contact with recently treated “green” posts. Allowing posts to dry out will reduce this problem but not overcome it completely.
• Salt air close to the sea, wind blown dust, corrosive gases in the air (e.g. sulphur): All reduce the life of zinc coating.
• Chemical contamination: from drift or direct contact with fertiliser when transporting or storing the fertiliser.
• High rainfall area: every time the wire gets wet part of the zinc coating is lost due to the chemical reaction between the zinc and moisture. Therefore, in high rainfall areas the life of a fence is shorter than in a hot, dry climate.
• Nicking: Nicking is the damage to the wires galvanizing from the use of tools, or by dropping tools on the wire.
Incorrect use of tools while fencing can cause ‘nicks’ in the galvanising. The use of tools should be kept to a minimum. Pliers should not be used directly on the surface of the wire to hold it.
• Kinking and movement fractures of galvanizing: Care should be taken when hammering in staples, that the wire is not accidentally hit.
Excessive bending and movement of wire weakens the wire and cracks the galvanising. Reusing old wire may not be a good idea if it has been bent and straightened
In farming the environment is generally not too bad for fencing wire. If the air is clear and unpolluted and the relative humidity is low, then the loss of zinc will be very slow. In these areas commercial wire products will last upwards of 20 years.
