Our Story
A Good Story… A Cracking Good Fence
The Westonfence™ story began at “Yalgo,” a property in the Nyngan region of New South Wales, where founder Peter Weston OAM set out to create a smarter, more sustainable way to manage land and livestock.
Peter’s philosophy for land management focused on productivity, conservation, and long-term sustainability – with practices such as woody weed removal, pasture improvement, and groundwater storage.
However, these improvements were increasingly challenged by invasive species and ineffective traditional fencing systems.
Determined to find a better solution, Peter developed a low-maintenance, cost-effective, and highly durable electric fencing system that would stand the test of time – Westonfence™.
Innovation Rooted in the Land
Designed for strength and simplicity, the Westonfence™ system combines steel posts, high-tensile wire, and precision-drilled recycled HDPE droppers to create fences that are easy to install, long-lasting, and environmentally responsible.
From those early trials on Peter’s farm, the system has evolved into an essential tool for farmers, landholders, and conservation projects across Australia – and beyond.
A Legacy of Conservation and Australian Innovation
In 2013, Peter Weston received the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for his outstanding contribution to conservation and environmental management – a testament to his lifelong dedication to sustainable land practices.
Today, Westonfence™ remains proudly family-run, operating from Parkes, NSW, where the team continues Peter’s legacy of innovation, quality, and land stewardship.
Every fence manufactured carries the same commitment that started at Yalgo – to help Australian landowners protect what matters most.
Born and bred in the Nymagee area, on a selection from the famous Overflow Station, Peter Weston was always keen to make the most of his land.
