Farm fence and gate installations
Fence and gate installers serving Cheshire and the North West
Agricultural stock fencing
We install stock or wire fencing using high tensile netted wire. The wire strains tighter than mild steel wire and requires no tightening regularly.
We support the wire with eight-foot strainers; eight to ten inches in diameter every 50 metres and six-foot posts, three to four inches in diameter every three to four metres. We drive posts into the ground 1200mm and 600mm deep, respectively. We use a state-of-the-art self-propelled post driver fitted with a 750kg weight that makes it easier to drive the posts into the hardest of ground.
Depending on the length of the run, the stock netting is strained using a “Quick Fencer” or chain walkers. We build box joints and use high tensile wire to support the strainers. Either method ensures that the stock fencing is very tight, giving better security for any livestock and minimal maintenance. Stock fencing can have either barbed wire or high tensile wire above it providing extra protection for livestock.
All posts have a 15-year guarantee against rot. At an extra cost we can supply creosoted posts which have an extended lifespan.
Equine netting
Specially designed for horses, equine netting is very similar to stock fencing. However, the spaces in the wire are small enough to ensure that horses do not get their hoofs trapped in the fence. The wire has no sharp edges to hurt any horse or pony.
Equine netting made from high tensile steel will provide a long period of durability and very little maintenance.
Installing equine netting for horses is done in the same way as stock fencing with intermediate posts four metres apart.
A single rail above the wire netting can be installed for extra safety if required.
Post and rail fencing
Post and rail fencing is very popular and used in many situations as it is both aesthetically pleasing and extremely secure.
We recommend at least three rails but can fit as few as two, or up to five.
Posts are typically spaced at 1.8 metres apart and are 1.8 metres long. They are driven into the ground using a post hole driver with 600mm depth. We do not use concrete as this affects the life of the fence post.
A fence of this type will typically last upwards of 15 years depending on the materials used. We can supply creosoted posts that will last up to 30 years. Stock fencing and rabbit wire can be incorporated if required.
As agricultural fencing contractors, we can install post and rail fencing on long or short runs at competitive prices.
