No, we no longer do gates, however these can be acquired through Tru-Test
2 life and 4 life wires are manufactured using a zinc and alloy coating which has been proven to deliver markedly greater protection than can be achieved by wires with a zinc/galvanised alternative.
Hispan 2 life Wire has a 130 gram Zinc/Alloy coating which delivers twice the life of galvanised coated wire. It is suitable for inland mild corrosive environments where there is a light marine, thermal or copper/sulphur influence.
Hispan 4 life, which has a heavier 260 gram Zinc/Alloy coat-weight, provides 4 times the life of galvanised coated wire. Manufactured for marine coastal and other high corrosion areas, it is especially suitable for thermal/industrial areas as well the horticulture /viticulture industries where copper/sulphur rich sprays are used.
Both of these wires are 100% manufactured in New Zealand, contain vanadium for better workability and comply with NZ fencing standards.

Fabricated Fence (Tightlock/Twinlock/Twistlock) Order codes
Each fence specification has an order code consisting of a number series of which the first number indicates the number of line wires in the fence. The 2nd number indicates the height whilst the 3rd number refers to stay wire spacing. Spacing specifications are nominal.
E.g 8/900/300 = 8 line wires, 900mm height, 300mm stay wire spacings.
8/36"/12" = 8 line wires, 36" height, 12" stay wire spacings.
To differentiate between Tightlock, Twinlock and Twistlock the numbers are prefixed by the following letters.
A = Tightlock
B = Twinlock
C = Twistlock
The following letters shown after the numbers of the order codes indicate the types of line wire used in the various specifications.
HT = High Tensile
LT = Low Tensile (Soft)
