Stop Losing Stock & Feed to Feral Pests
Wild dogs, kangaroos, pigs and goats cost Australian producers millions every year in stock losses and overgrazing. Purpose-built exclusion fence end assemblies are the foundation of a fence that actually holds up.

The Rotech Rural Solution
StayTight Exclusion Fence End Assembly Kits
Designed specifically to support heavy-duty prefabricated exclusion fencing. Our 3250mm strainer posts give you an industry-leading foundation.
Heaviest Strainer on the Market
While others use 80NB or 90NB, our 100NB heavy-wall pipe resists damage during installation and handles heavy-duty loads with ease.
Fast Install Without Welding
Our unique design means one person can install a full end assembly in under 15 minutes once the post is in the ground. No welding needed.
Unlimited Customisation
StayTight end assemblies have no pre-drilled holes or brackets. Put it together exactly how you need for your terrain.
Built for Harsh Conditions
Hot-dip galvanised as standard, with stainless steel eyebolt options for coastal regions. Floating footplate handles challenging soils.

WHY IT MATTERS
Exclusion Fence Essentials
Exclusion fences carry significantly more load than standard rural fencing. Getting the end assembly right is critical — it's where your fence tension lives.
Stay Length Matters
A 3m stay on an exclusion fence post sits too low on the post and will push the strainer out of the ground. We recommend a minimum 3.6m stay for any exclusion fence end assembly.
Deeper Posts for Taller Fences
Taller strainer posts for exclusion fencing need to be driven deeper to withstand the extra forces. Our system lets customise the installation for your soil conditions.
Floating Footplate Advantage
Our floating footplate design reduces post pull-out, maintains tension for longer, and ensures the load from your fence ends up at the post — where it should be.

Yes. Every StayTight end assembly is hot dipped galvanised and run with a stainless steel cable, making it one of the most rust-resistant assemblies on the market and built to last in tough rural conditions. The Premium Stainless Steel Kits go a step further with a stainless eyebolt, so any future adjustments stay easy even in highly corrosive environments. The thread will last.

A StayTight end assembly kit includes everything you need to build a strong, fully adjustable fence strainer assembly. Depending on the kit, that means a strainer post, cap, stay, TWIST-TIGHT stay connectors, footplate, and tension assembly.
The StayTight system handles it with four things working together: the floating footplate spreads the load, the tension cable lifts most of the weight off the footplate, Mud Plates add surface area where it’s still not enough, and LokDown Lugs give the post eight times more grip in the ground than a regular post.
For the full breakdown, read how end assemblies work.
A fence starts losing tension within 24 hours of going up. It keeps losing tension for the rest of its life. Adjusting the tension cable lets you put it back.
Timber assemblies, welded steel, and stays concreted into the ground can’t be adjusted. Once they’re set, they’re set.
No. The tension cable does the work. It takes as much as two-thirds of the fence’s weight off the footplate and pushes it back down through the strainer post. That’s what keeps the footplate up AND what keeps the strainer post in the ground.
The Mud Plate is for the few paddocks where the ground still can’t carry the remaining third.
Because the ground moves. The strainer post is the only part of an end assembly that should be fixed in place. Everything else has to be free to move with the seasons.
Pin the footplate down, whether that’s concreting it in, welding it to a stake or driving a pin through it, and the whole weight of the fence ends up sitting on the footplate. That’s how end assemblies fail.
Over the past five years, we’ve dealt with some severe droughts and major flooding events across Australia. We’ve picked up a ton of knowledge by seeing which fences held up and which ones didn’t.
In reactive soils, black & deep soils, flood-prone areas, and drought- affected soils, it can be very challenging to fence and prevent posts from dislodging, popping out of the soil, or moving around. The best solution to reducing this movement is to provide additional ground anchorage.
Ground Anchorage refers to the depth and strength at which a post is secured into the ground. By providing additional anchorage, and distributing the external forces applied to the end assembly over a larger volume of soil the stress and pressure on the strainer post is reduced. This helps ensure that the soil can support the external forces without allowing any movement.
That is why we have created LokDown Lugs, which provide 8x more ground anchorage, this patent-protected addition makes our end assemblies the strongest yet!
Yes, the tension cable transfers the weight to the base of the strainer post, where it’s most needed. Without the tension cable, the weight of the fence falls on the footplate.
The cable reduces the chances of the post lifting out of the ground. In addition, with all the weight taken off the footplate, it’s unlikely for it to sink.
It is not very important (within reason). While some people believe that a greater diameter will provide a stronger hold in the ground, what is more important are the depth of the post and the way it is installed.
The stay plays a critical role in the holding power of the assembly. As a general rule of thumb, your stay should be at least 2.5 times the height of your fence. For example, if your fence is 1.2m high, your stay should be at least 3m long (the longer the better). The calculation is: fence height (1.2m) x 2.5 = stay length (3m).
Protect YourProperty&Livestock
One dog can decimate a herd of sheep. A big boar can go through 10-12 lambs in a day. With a solid baiting program, trapping, and exclusion fencing you can greatly reduce attacks from these wild predators. An added benefit is the protection of local wildlife.
The implementation of exclusion fencing has proven to be a valuable investment for cattle and sheep producers seeking to protect their stock and feed, and their use has risen substantially in the last few years.
