ABOUT OAKLEY RURAL FENCING
MEET CRAIG OAKLEY
Craig founded Oakley Rural Fencing on the same principles he applies to his own property: build it right the first time, choose materials suited to the terrain, and never let ground movement or weather undo the work.
He owns, rides and breeds champion quarter horses, and works with friends and family across cattle, sheep, goats and alpacas, so every fencing decision is shaped by direct experience with the animals it protects, not just construction know-how. Craig also holds full public liability insurance, giving property owners added peace of mind on every job.
Craig's experience spans the three types of properties Oakley Rural Fencing builds for most often.
Equine properties needing safe, visible fencing that protects valuable horses from injury, such as a 20-acre horse property near Gisborne fitted with a three-rail Duncan Equine boundary fence.
Grazing properties running cattle, sheep or alpacas, where fence strength and yard design affect day-to-day handling, such as a 50-hectare cattle property near Toolern Vale with new and renovated fencing.
Lifestyle blocks balancing horses or small livestock against real wildlife pressure from kangaroos, deer and foxes, such as a 4-acre property at Darraweit Guim fitted with a horse-safe boundary fence and a flood-resilient fence along the creek line.
Craig has managed all three on his own property, which is why the advice on site reflects what actually works, not just what's fastest to install.
