Strong Fencing for Storm Season: Protecting Your Property from Ingham to Cairns

As the wet season approaches across Far North Queensland, from Ingham to Cairns, many property owners are preparing for heavy rain, strong winds, and unpredictable weather. One of the most important — but often overlooked — steps you can take is ensuring you have strong, reliable fencing around your property.

At LSF Tree & Vegetation Services, we specialise in rural, acreage, and residential fencing across the Cassowary Coast and surrounding regions. With decades of local experience, we’ve seen first-hand how well-built fences protect livestock, pets, and property during cyclones and storms.

Why Fencing Matters During Storm Season

1. Protecting livestock and pets

Storms can panic animals, causing them to escape through weak or damaged fencing. Strong steel post-and-rail or chain-wire fencing helps keep cattle, horses, and dogs safely contained.

Preventing wildlife hazards

Good fencing not only keeps your animals in but also helps keep cassowaries, wild pigs, and roaming dogs out — a vital safety measure in our region.

Avoiding property damage

Loose or damaged fences can become dangerous projectiles in high winds. Sturdy construction, proper footings, and regular maintenance reduce this risk.

Preparing Your Fence for Storms

✔ Inspect your fence line for loose posts, sagging rails, or rust damage.

✔ Replace or reinforce weak sections before the wet season.

✔ Choose durable materials such as galvanised steel for long-term resilience.

✔ Keep surrounding vegetation trimmed so falling branches don’t damage your fence.
