Hey everyone in the fencing world! We’re buzzing with excitement here at Nelsons CNC as we gear up for the 2026 Australian Fencing Conference,Trade Show and Gala Awards Dinner. This premier event kicks off on Thursday, March 19, at the Australian Events Centre, Hyatt Place Essendon Fields in Melbourne. It’s the biggest gathering for the fencing and gates industry in Australia, packed with networking, cutting-edge innovations, and celebrations of excellence – and we’re right in the thick of it!
As an Australian manufacturer and supplier of precision CNC-machined aluminium end caps, Nelsons CNC specialises in interference designs perfect for aluminium extrusions in blade and batten fencing, fence posts, balustrades, handrails, and facades. Our end caps are crafted from premium 6060 T5 mill-finished aluminium, delivering a tight, interference fit that installs easily with just a rubber mallet – no welding, no adhesives, no hassle. These knock-in fit end caps have taken the fencing industry by storm, providing a clean, durable, weather-resistant finish that’s built tough for Australian conditions and saving the industry. These end caps save significant fabrication time compared with cutting, welding, grinding, and finishing a plate, while delivering a precise, professional finish.
With over 600 standard sizes for square and rectangular profiles (including square edge and radius edge options) and custom machining available for exact fits, we offer solutions tailored to every project.
At the conference, our fantastic team, Charlie, Cassie, and Kat will be manning our stall, ready to showcase these innovative knock-in fit end caps up close. They’ll run live demos of the super-simple installation (thanks to those bevelled edges), share stories from our happy customers (who give us a rock-solid 4.9/5 rating for quality, perfect fit, and fast service), and chat about how our products can make your jobs quicker and cleaner.
But that’s not all – we’re especially proud to share that Charlie has been named a finalist in the Innovators category of the 2025 Australian Fencing Awards! This recognition celebrates trailblazers bringing groundbreaking ideas and products to the industry, and Charlie’s work pioneering durable, professional aluminium press-fit end caps as an alternative to traditional options has clearly made an impact. The winners will be announced at the Gala Awards Dinner that evening, so we’ll be cheering him on while connecting with everyone at our booth.
Whether you’re a contractor streamlining installations or a supplier after reliable, high-quality components, drop by to see why our end caps are revolutionising fencing projects across Australia. We’re proud to bring Aussie-made innovation that boosts aesthetics, durability, and efficiency.
