25.01.2022 What a fantastic new product! WPC fencing. We have seen this installed and it looks fantastic. Wont rust or rot and reduces noise considerably. Check out the link for more info. Its about time there was a long lasting and better looking alternative!!!

25.01.2022 Hi all. For those of you that dont know we live on the border of Parkerville. We were spared from the fires and have a furnished cottage that is available for a while to someone who was less fortunate than us. If you know of someone in need as a result of the fire can you pass this information on to them please. My number is 0448 888 344 With thanks Mark.

24.01.2022 Hi all, Spring is here at last!!! After a busy winter we are looking forward to some great projects we have waiting for us this Spring/Summer. A quick glimpse of whats to come includes a 68 x 40 indoor arena and stable complex (we start site works on Monday) two whole of property landscaping projects (first one starts next week) there are arenas and round yards to build, some large fencing and irrigation projects and numerous other structures to construct. Phewand thats all before Xmas!! And keep an eye out for a series of articles we are doing for Hoofbeats magazine, we hope you find them useful. We will post photos of progress on some of these projects over coming weeks and welcome any questions or requests for advice you may have. Till then enjoy the look of a post and rail fence on green paddocks we completed a few weeks back!

24.01.2022 Considering kickboards and wondering what your options are? Its one of the most common questions we are asked when we build a new stable, retrofit a shed with stable paneling or refurbish existing stables - and in short, durable and safe options are limited! Marine and form ply are economical options but can deteriorate quickly when exposed to constant moisture. Hardwood boards are much stronger but do require regular maintenance to look their best, not to mention their pot...ential to split and crack with the impact of a strong kick, creating dangerous sharp edges and protrusions. Good knot free hardwood is also getting expensive and more difficult to find! If you are looking for superior quality, safety and durability, we have a great European product available now for pre-order with our next shipment! These innovative PVC kick boards wont rot, split, crack, swell or distort, and white ants hate them! In addition they actually absorb impacts - making them one of the safest options for your horses. They look fantastic too and come in a range of colours - black, brown, green, beige and grey to name a few! The boards are 140mm wide and 28mm thick with a tongue and groove fastening which makes them extra strong when installed - how strong are they you ask?? Check out this short clips to see for yourself!

21.01.2022 Happy long weekend everyone! Just for a bit of fun, heres another snippet of our PVC kickboards doing what they do best - soaking up some blunt force trauma!!

21.01.2022 When consulting on stable design we are often asked what panel options are there? Like everything equine the answer is a little bit like how long is a piece of string! The best option for your stable and shelters will depend on many factors including: Aesthetics, functionality, durability, safety and budget. Thanks to the advent of new composite products there are a growing number of options that offer many distinct advantages over traditional panelling. Lets explore the avai...Continue reading

17.01.2022 PVC Fencing - This one tip can save you money and a severely injured horse. When used correctly PVC post and rail looks fantastic and can provide a safe, long lasting fencing solution. BEFORE you buy ask for a small sample of the post and rail and conduct a simple test. Stomp on it, hit it with a hammer, drive over it and generally do your best to destroy it! Why you may ask? Because you want it to be beautiful AND safe! A significant proportion of PVC sold in Australia is ma...nufactured in China. There are one or two local companies that do produce an Aussie made product but the majority is imported. There are certainly cost savings associated with the imported product BUT only if you buy a product that has the right mix of chemicals. Without impact modifiers and UV stabilisers your beautiful new PVC fence could be a ticking time bomb. Badly manufactured PVC will shatter on impact leaving razor sharp edges that can cut flesh to the bone in an instant. Please do an impact test on samples before you buy, its simple and quick and will give you peace of mind! Its ok if the samples deform, bend, buckle and look trashed under the onslaught of your testing but they should not shatter! The video is of a new product that takes impact resistance to the next level!! Happy (and safe) fencing!!

17.01.2022 Wow the response to our new Iron Stone product has been awesome. Thank you for your support! Since a number of people have asked if its suitable for stable stalls we thought we would share with you the ideal product for this application.... Comfort Grip. Iron Stone is perfect for fastening to timber, steel or concrete but Comfort Grip is perfect for laying on loose (level) material as it doesnt need fastening. Its thick, ultra heavy duty and has a unique zig zag patten for horse safety and stability. Comfort Grip is only sold in rolls of 25 metres. Its available in 600mm, 900, 1200, 1500 and 1800mm widths (subject to availability) Iron Stone and Comfort Grip are the perfect additions for your stable!

16.01.2022 Retro fitting a stable with PVC kickboards. The original timber boards had been destroyed by white ants. The end result looks great, is super tough and is immune to white ants, water and rotting.

16.01.2022 This is a very thorough and informative study. Well worth the time to read.

15.01.2022 Cooler weather (at last) means more arena time developing horse and rider capability. The right arena surface can make a huge difference in improving your horses confidence and promoting horse and rider health, safety and performance. Acres has been closely involved for many years with two of the best surface improvements available - Soiltex and Comfort Rubber. Whilst being completely different products they share many of the same benefits. Soiltex is a combination of geofabric shreds which offer exceptional advantages to both indoor and outdoor arenas. Comfort rubber crumbs are 100% recycled rubber guaranteed to be steel and fibre free and are easy to apply and maintain. Why not talk to us about the product that will best suit your needs? Special Autumn deals available now!

14.01.2022 Hi all, we have been so busy we have neglected our Facebook posts! Will try and catch up and share some of our recent and current projects over the next few days. This one is a great round yard built with timber posts and top rail and two lines of black Horserail with a custom gate.

13.01.2022 We have a crush for you! But unlike the adolescent ones these are safe and reliable! If your looking for the strongest and safest crush available we can help. Mare & foal or single available with: Dual height rear doors Padded doors and side panels... Chest bars Removable or hinged sides Vets, racing stables and breeders rely on their Acres crush for safety and functionality. To discuss your needs call Mark on 0448888344 See more

13.01.2022 Sorry its been a while since our last post, we have been so busy on a number of projects our page gets neglected sometimes!! Arena, Round Yard and yard fencing just completed using a mixture of CCA timber, Horserail and Stockguard, the end result looks awesome and is super safe for horse and rider.

11.01.2022 Another fencing project! This one was a little different, recycled black heavy duty water pipe as posts, 5 lines of Equibraid through the posts. CCA timber painted black for all the strainer assemblies. Looks great and is working very well! (sorry about the photo quality)

11.01.2022 A quick update on the indoor arena and stable under construction. The structure is now complete and looking awesome! Water tanks are in, concreting is complete and the stable front columns are installed waiting for fit out. Electrical and lighting are under way to ensure Santa and the reindeer have no difficulty landing on the roof!! OMG..we forgot the chimney!!!

09.01.2022 There was a lot of interest and requests for photo updates of the construction of the 70 x 40 arena and stable complex, so here are the updated photos. Wall and roof cladding almost finished and the stable shell starting to take shape!

09.01.2022 UPDATE!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to every share, comment and view each and every one of you helped to close the net around the people who stole our precious cargo. Thanks to YOU a FB friend reported the location of the ute to police and we were able to have it towed. The bitter sweet reality is that the ute was empty and our mothers possessions are lost. They may have been dumped in bushland or are awaiting sale on gumtree, swap meets or a pawn shop. Whilst we are incredibly sad wit...h this outcome each and every one of you have restored our faith in humanity, your kindness and support has overwhelmed our small family!! THANK YOU!!!! Again thanks to your support the ute was sighted across a large area of the Perth Metro area and if our mums possessions were dumped they could be anywhere. If you hear of a sighting of a large green plastic crate with a number of smaller plastic crates please let us know!! Items that may help to identify the stolen goods include: Crystal wine decanters Canteen of antique cutlery Wedgwood items Set of Royal Copenhagen plates (xmas series) Crystal high tea set Boxed sterling silver carving set Late victorian ceramic mantle clock Boxes of personal papers, photos etc (Shirley Hingley) Our mum was always the first to help others in need, she was doer who believed that there was good in everyone.YOU have proved her right and done her proud!!!!! Our sincere thanks and best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and may 2016 hold happiness, love and prosperity for you and your family!! Kind regards and best wishes Mark, Kim, Jenny, Chis, Louise, Jonathon and Tess. See more

08.01.2022 Here is a great idea developed by one of our friends. They are turning boring sea containers into good looking, very functional feed and tack stores.
