Agricultural Fencing
Stock fencing, post-and-rail, field gates and yard security for farms and estates across Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset.
Most of this work runs in straight lines for hundreds of metres at a time. Often on uneven ground.
Often around livestock that won't wait for us to finish. We turn up in tracked machinery, work efficiently,
and leave the ground in a condition you'd be happy to walk a horse over the next day.
Stock fencing.
High-tensile stock wire on treated softwood or oak posts.
Pig netting, sheep netting, cattle wire and combination meshes, chosen by what you're keeping in and what you need to keep out. Single-line, twin-line or with a sight rail on top.
For large estates and parks we use post-driven installation. For sensitive ground or established planting, we hand-dig.
Post-and-rail.
For boundaries that need to look the part and hold cattle, horses or both. Three or four-rail in sawn oak or treated softwood, set to depth, capped where exposed.
We've run single lines of post-and-rail over 300 metres in a week with a two-man crew, on uneven ground, without leaving a track in the field.
Tracked, not wheeled.
By hand, and tracked where it counts. A lot of our work is done by hand, which protects established pasture, sensitive ground and equestrian land from the compaction that wheeled machinery leaves behind.
Where a job calls for it, we bring in tracked, low-impact machinery rather than kit that would chew up the route in.
Either way, we leave the ground in a condition you would be happy to walk a horse over the next day
Scale and timing.
We size the crew to the project. A two-man crew is right for a few hundred metres of stock fencing; for longer runs or tight deadlines we'll put three or four hands on it.
We give written start and finish dates with every quote, and we hold them.
Agricultural work usually has a season behind it.
There's no point booking a job that misses the window.
