Deer fencing for beginners

[harveyWhite]

I've got a Woodmizer LT 40 so I can mill the posts and I've got a neighbour with a tractor and post auger. I have a Tirfor winch and going to make my own strainer. Any tips? Like where to buy the cheapest 1.8 metre high mesh, staples et cetera. I need to do around 200 m before I restock part of my woodland. If there is anyone near Oakwood Hill, who wouldn't mind coming out to have a look and share their thoughts I would really appreciate your help and willing to pay or exchange something.

Everything is on the table, apart from my Wife and my Carers!

I would consider a digger and knocker, you can get a lot more height with them when doing tall stakes.

 

Is it your first bit of fencing or are you just looking for advice on deer fencing specifically?

Never known anyone use square posts for net fencing. Loads of extra work for no benefit whatsoever. And would look stupid.

Square posts will be interesting a man with a knocker and round posts could do 200 m in a day augering and backfilling be lucky to do 75 m and then how are you going to treat the posts last precious little time when treated in the round.

That's a fair point. I think I was thinking about the neighbours when I was thinking about Square posts. Does anyone know the average price to install such fencing (per metre).

Where is the cheapest place to purchase posts and the mesh near Horsham?

Thank you

Horsham Fencing may be a good start point!  They share a building with ATS on the A281 at Lower Beeding

AVS fencing supplies in Rudgwick are local to you.

Or I've used McVeigh Parker at Adversane just south of Billingshurst.

Best of luck getting hold of materials at a sensible price.

I used AVS and the above with no problems but Beacon Fencing at Ansty tended to be a bit cheaper.
