If your fence is still structurally sound but animals are jumping it, tearing it down is expensive, time-consuming, and often unnecessary.

In this video, I show a simple system using steel fence extensions (PoleStar) that lifts your fence height by 300–750mm. Combined with a new clip and tool system, it’s fast to install, strong, and something you can do yourself.

This is a practical solution for:

Farmers dealing with kangaroos, deer, or feral animals

Lifestyle property owners upgrading existing fencing

Contractors looking for faster retrofit options

Anyone wanting to improve fence performance without a full rebuild

This approach is part of a broader shift toward modular fencing systems, where you upgrade what you already have instead of starting from scratch. It saves time, reduces cost, and keeps your existing infrastructure working harder.
