- Workshop in Nairne or on site
NL Welding and Fabrication is a small local welding business in Nairne, in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. We do farm and mobile welding across the Hills. Mount Barker is about 9 km from our workshop, Woodside about 10 km, Lobethal about 17 km, Strathalbyn about 29 km and Birdwood about 29 km.
Stock, hay and orchards, side by side
The Hills mix grazing, dairy, hay, orchards and vines on smaller blocks. Hay outweighs grain here: the Hills and Fleurieu crop district is estimated to grow more tonnes of hay than grain in 2026-27. Most of the state's apples, pears and cherries come from the Hills too.
That mix keeps a lot of steel working: yards, gates, feeders, trailers and farm implements. When one of them cracks, we are close enough to look at it, or you can drop it in at Nairne.
When a breakdown hurts most
Hay in spring, when the baling window is short. Marking and shearing, when the yards are full. Picking in the orchards, from cherries around December through pears and apples into autumn. If something breaks in the middle of one of these, ring us.
Saleyards close by
Strathalbyn Saleyards are about 29 km from Nairne and Mount Pleasant Saleyards about 38 km. Saleyards and farmers are the customers we set the business up for.
Fire danger season in the Hills
Nairne and most of the Hills sit in the Mount Lofty Ranges fire ban district. The season dates change every year and can be announced late, so check the CFS site before any outdoor welding, grinding or cutting. On a Total Fire Ban day that work has to stop unless there is a permit.
