Emu woven Wire.
When it comes to choosing woven wire for your garden fence, for us there is only one choice. As fencing contractors who have seen the value of our customers homes rise tenfold since we started garden fence installation as fencing contractors around Melbourne in the 1980s, it seems incongrous to use anything but the correct woven wire in our garden fencing. We have seen various cheap bendy plastic coated woven wire products come and go, and have learned from hard experience that using any of these is a waste of time and money. There is only one choice of woven wire for our garden fence: Emu woven wire. Manufactured to the same specifications of the old Cyclone woven wire but with a high tensile alloy 4mm picket, this wire will remain in shape despite the attention of climbing children and jumping dogs.

Woven Wire Garden Fences:
These garden fences mark a move to more informal homes and garden fence design. When the soldiers returned from the Great War in 1919 the world seemed different. Before the war, Melbourne was british to its bootstraps. But the change in attitude can be seen in the changed architecture of the time. Formal Victorian and Edwardian homes and gardens gave way to a more informal style of home design. Our soldiers returned from France, Japan and America with an optimisim and informallity and turned their attention to building garden city style homes with Californian, Japanese and Art Deco influences. Informal cottage and indiginous sweeping gardens and paths replaced the formal edwardian hedge and geometric layout. The woven wire fence and gate from this era still provide one of the most pleasing solutions for your garden fencing. Roses, Lavender and ground covers are shown in their best light as your home and garden views are not inhibited by solid timbers. Call us on 0403 816660 to discuss your garden fence and garden gate design.
