Josh, the driving force behind Select Fencing, knows the value of hard work and building something that lasts. Starting as a teenager helping his dad and brother with rural and residential fencing, Josh eventually carved his own path, establishing Select Fencing in 2011. Over the years, he’s honed his expertise, becoming one of ModularWalls’® top installers, specialising in premium fencing solutions that blend beauty and functionality.
The business is a family affair. Josh and his wife Teagan are building a legacy for their growing family. With one young son and another on the way, Josh and Teagan are focused on building a business that’s a foundation for their family’s security.
“Our son looks up to his Daddy and always tries to help him out,” says Teagan. “He takes lunch to Daddy and Rod in his Bluey lunch bag, ‘builds’ things with his toy drill, and makes sure that he and Josh have their safety glasses on at home. These little moments have become some of our favourite memories as we grow the business. In a few weeks, we’ll welcome our second little ‘apprentice’, and I hope he loves it as much as his big brother.”
Recently, Select Fencing's commitment to excellence was recognised when they were named the winner of the Fencing Category in the 2024 Australian Trades Small Business Champion Awards. The recognition comes on the heels of Select Fencing being named an Industry Specialist winner in the ‘Top Businesses’ category of the 2023 Australian Fencing Awards. This year, they are also a finalist in the upcoming Local Business Awards for Penrith City. All speak to Select Fencing’s reputation as an innovator in its industry.
When it comes to gate latches, Josh doesn't compromise. He’s installed hundreds of gates over the years, and the D&D LokkLatch® Deluxe has become his go-to choice. "It’s pretty much the only gate latch I use now," he says. “Some people want to go with the cheapest option, but that will cost more later when someone has to come out and replace it. They just don’t stand the test of time the way D&D products do.”
For Josh, the LokkLatch® Deluxe is an indispensable part of every gate he installs, an ideal companion for his commitment to quality and his clients' peace of mind.
“They’re just a great latch, pretty much the perfect design for a residential gate. The fact that they have easy adjustment built in is super handy. I would recommend this lock to anyone.”
