Instant privacy, instant hedge - these are some of the descriptors used by our customers. Brustics Brushwood panels are one of the few fencing materials that blend into the background allowing you to create your own landscape in the foreground; they do not compete for attention. Options of Border, Standard, or Deluxe fence installation styles, offer different appearances from formal to rustic.

The first Brustics Brushwood panels were manufactured over 25 years ago and many are still looking good today.

Not to be confused with imitations - Brustics use only specially selected Melaleuca brushwood which is very hard and durable and is well suited to New Zealand conditions. Provided it is kept clear of the ground, it can last in excess of 20 years. Brustics Brushwood should not be confused with the very flimsy, thin product marketed in a roll, which is sourced from China and is soft wood heather which is frail in comparison.

Brustics have a unique panel design (registered) whereby the brushwood is compressed by machine and tightly stitched with wire. The standard fence panel is 45mm thick and there is a 25mm thick panel which is designed for covering existing structures. The panels are all 1100mm wide and come in standard heights of, 800, 900, 1200, 1600 &1800mm. They can be cut both vertically and horizontally and are easily joined.

For installation, comprehensive written instructions are available to the home handyperson, or we can recommend a local tradesperson who is familiar with our products.

Things to Note

• Fence Height - We recommend the panels are placed on top of a timber plinth (base rail), which both supports the weight of the panel and keeps it clear of the ground. The plinth is normally H4 100mm x 50mm timber (150mm x 50mm for taller panels) fixed on its edge. To determine the final height of your fence, add the height of the plinth to the panel height plus a further 50mm if you intend to cap the top of the fence.
  
  
• Width - Panels are nominally 1100mm wide (normally 1115 - 1130mm) and easily joined together to form a continuous length.
  
  
• Warranty - We provide a 3 year warranty on our brushwood panels, when used as fencing. The warranty is based on normal conditions and subject to normal wear and provided the installation instructions have been adhered to. Compare this warranty to similar fencing products!
  
  
• Gates - There are some limitations on the use of Brustic Brushwood panels due to their weight (approx 20kg per m2 for fence panels and 13kg per m2 for cladding panels). We have some data sheets on suggested methods of making gates with the panels.
  
  
• Installation - Comprehensive installation instructions are available. We can provide details of recommended installers.
  
  
• Hire Service - Free standing fencing is available for shows and special events.
