What is Fencing?
Fencing is the construction of physical barriers (usually made from wood, metal, or synthetic materials) that define boundaries, provide security, and manage land use. In agricultural and equestrian settings, fencing plays a vital role in safely containing animals, protecting land, and organising space effectively.
What Makes Good Fencing?
Good fencing is all about purpose-driven design, quality materials, and skilled installation. The best fences are:
Sturdy: Built to withstand weather, pressure from livestock, and time.
Appropriate: There is a huge variety of different fencing solutions. Each fence must be chosen to suit the animals or land use (e.g., horse fencing vs. deer fencing).
Well-installed: Posts set at the correct depth, tension accurate where needed, and lines straight and true.
Low-maintenance: Proper installation and material choice reduce the need for frequent repairs.
Safe: Especially in equestrian settings - smooth surfaces with careful use of materials at the right height make all the difference for horse welfare.
Types of Fencing
Did you have something specific or custom in mind? Contact us and we’ll be more than happy to help.
Post and Rail Fencing
A traditional and attractive option, especially suited for equestrian use and paddock boundaries. Its sturdy construction not only adds aesthetic appeal but ensures strong containment for horses and other large animals.
Electric fencing
Electric fencing offers flexibility, especially for temporary setups or rotational grazing systems. The perfect combination of flexibility with strength is combining wooden post with wide electric tape.
Palisade or security fencing
Security fencing is often used for protecting valuable assets such as machinery yards or storage areas. With its strong construction, it provides a high level of security and acts as a strong deterrent to intruders.
Stock fencing
A common choice for livestock such as sheep and cattle. Often combined with barbed wire for extra security, it’s a versatile and economical solution for keeping animals safely contained.
Deer fencing
A tall, robust system designed specifically to either keep deer out—protecting crops and trees—or to keep them enclosed within a managed area. It’s an essential solution in regions where deer presence is significant.
Construction Site Fencing
We can install durable, high-visibility fencing systems that clearly define boundaries, restrict unauthorised access, and comply with all relevant health and safety regulations for building sites and construction areas.
