The Fencing Contractors Association of New Zealand is holding two best practice days later this month.
Open to current and potential FCANZ members, the best practice days provide those in the rural fencing sector with access to the latest in fencing techniques, health and safety, tools and machinery, and technical information.
As the rural sector continues to grow and diversify, projects such as pest control, water protection and regeneration are creating an increasing demand for skilled rural fencing contractors.
“Fencing is a skilled trade and should be recognised as such,” FCANZ president Phil Cornelius said.
“Skilled fencers are in high demand and the fencing industry, like many trades, is experiencing a skills shortage, which makes these events even more important.
“It is time for fencing contractors doing quality work to shine. Keeping up to date with the latest best practice fencing techniques is the best way to keep delivering high quality work.”
FCANZ keeps members in touch with the latest fencing products, technical information, trends and developments, including access to best-practice guidelines, templates and codes of practice.
