“I cannot believe we still get the same view with these screens installed. They blend in seamlessly and work perfectly.”

Insect Screens for Rural & Lifestyle Homes
Built for high fly pressure off stock and animals, and made to stand up to farm life.
Screens that earn their keep on rural homes
Rural and lifestyle homes deal with far more fly pressure than town homes. Dairy cows, horses, and farm animals draw flies in numbers a town section never sees, so a fitted Phifer mesh keeps flies, mosquitoes, and midges out while doors and windows stay open for airflow. Where sandflies or midges are bad we fit a tighter midge mesh.
Dairy farmers and horse breeders are a natural fit for what we do, and their screens have to last. Every screen is built to stand up to years of daily use and farm weather, and where dogs and farm cats come and go all day we fit a pet mesh - a vinyl-coated polyester that takes the knocks. Every panel is replaceable, so a screen is serviced rather than thrown away.
Made to measure, installed by our own team
Every screen is made to measure and installed by our own team, with larger or further-out work taken on nationwide by arrangement. Send photos and rough sizes for an indicative price - no long drive needed to get started.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do retractable screens hold up to high fly pressure? +
Yes - that is where they earn their keep. Rural and farm homes get far more flies than town, and a fitted Phifer mesh keeps them out while the doors stay open for airflow. Where sandflies or midges are bad we can fit a tighter midge mesh.
Will the mesh survive dogs and farm cats? +
Yes. We fit a pet mesh - a vinyl-coated polyester that stands up to dogs and farm cats pushing through the doors all day - and the panels are replaceable if one ever does get damaged.
Will they fit the doors and windows on a farm home? +
Yes. Most farm and lifestyle homes have the same doors and windows as any other house, and a MeshLock retractable suits the single swing or slider the family really uses - the boot room or wet room where everyone kicks off their boots coming in off the farm. Where a home does have a wider slider or stacker, a Wall Screen spans it; heavier meshes like pet mesh run to smaller spans, and we confirm the limit for your mesh with your quote.
Do you install on lifestyle blocks and farms? +
Yes. We install nationwide by arrangement, with our own teams based across the upper North Island (Taupo north - Northland, Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty), so the rural areas and lifestyle blocks in and around those regions are well covered. See all the areas we install in.
Can you work around milking? +
Yes. We are used to fitting in around farm routines - milking, calving, or whatever the day needs - and we book the measure-up and install for a time that works around yours.
Can I get a price without you driving out? +
Usually, yes. Send photos and rough opening sizes and we will come back with an indicative price - we only book a measure-up once you're happy with the solution and product, which saves a long drive for both of us.
