How to buy your Oscillot® system
Most people install the Oscillot system themselves or get a local handyperson to do it. On this page, we’ll guide you through the process of measuring your fences and working out the components required. If you need help, just contact us and we’ll work with you to get it sorted.
Auckland residents can use our free measure and quote service for Oscillot components, and can choose to have their installation done by us.

Step 1: Get to know the Oscillot® system
Components are sold in a range of DIY kits intended to cover various length of fences. Each kit includes paddles and dual post kits.
Because each installation is unique, you may require additional dual post kits, so these can be purchased separately.
Brackets, which are recommended when face-mounting on timber fences, should be purchased separately (generally, one bracket for each dual knuckle post).
DIY Kit
One or more 1986mm long paddles (grey, merino or black)
Two or more Dual Post Kits (number depends on kit size)
Dual Post Kit
One post base, one top
Two balls, two axles
Two mounting screws
One cap screw
Bracket Kit
One bracket
Two screws for attaching post to bracket
When to use brackets
- Post and Rail Fencing with a horizontal rail within 400mm of the top of the fence
- Vertical Paling Timber Fencing
- Horizontal Paling Timber Fencing
- Brush Fencing
If you have an extremely agile cat, such as a Bengal, you may need to provide additional cat-proofing measures.
We are happy to offer advice based on years of experience.
