OUR BEGINNINGS
Saltram Rural was born in the Central West town of Bathurst, out of necessity.
After months of searching for a fencing contractor to complete a medium-sized acreage project — with no success — it was quickly discovered that many others were facing the same challenge. We saw an opportunity to step in and meet that need with skill, work ethic, and expertise.
Drawing on a background in construction and carpentry that dates back to the mid-1990s, we have built our reputation on exceptional craftsmanship, reliable service and premium Australian timber products that enhance the character, value and presence of rural properties.
Specialising in handcrafted post and rail fencing, bespoke timber gates and distinguished rural entrances, our products are designed to create a sense of arrival while remaining true to the landscape around them. Whether framing a luxury acreage, equine estate, country homestead or rural retreat, every piece is created with longevity, functionality and timeless appeal in mind.
Our Ironbark and Cypress timbers are carefully selected for their strength, durability and natural beauty. Designed to withstand Australia's demanding conditions, they weather gracefully and become an enduring part of the properties they define.
As demand for our premium Australian hardwood fencing and gates grew throughout the early 2020s, Saltram Rural evolved to focus exclusively on the manufacture and supply of high-quality post and rail fencing systems and custom timber entrances. Today, we supply property owners, builders, landscapers and contractors across Australia who share an appreciation for craftsmanship, authenticity and enduring rural design.
More than a boundary, our fences and gates help shape remarkable properties—creating the sense of permanence, distinction and understated luxury that defines exceptional acreage living.
Built on trust. Proven in the field.
From small acreage to large-scale operations, our products are trusted by property owners across Australia

Working with Nelson and his team was a delight. He came out and quoted the job and got a confirmed quote the next day.
As the fence was getting established I was changing things along the way as it was our front fence for our home. We couldn’t be any happier for the end outcome. Highly recommend this company to anyone and you will have no problems with the respect and the job.
Keep up the good work guys. 👌Paul

I would highly recommend Saltram Rural. Their professionalism, product, advice and customer service was impeccable. They took images of their products as we were interstate to make sure our vision was what we were ordering.
