Stock Fencing

[countrryboy]

While i do know some horsey folk are against barb, i would say the vast majority don't really seem to bother. Have put barb on plenty of horse fences as per customers spec yet others won't have it any where near they're horses. Never understood how some are so aggainst it yet others dinae seem to bother

 

Aye horses can be a bugger for chewing rails but u used to put some of that flat metal strapping/binding or wire along the top off the rails to try and stop it.

 

Electric is brillaint for a lot of things but doubt it will be vaible for 25m unless eleccy fencing elsewhere on the farm.

 

Prob best to phone a local contractor and explain the craic and get a guesstimate price over the phone

Blasted horses chavel up and ruin post and rail in my experience. I second the electric if its viable.

 

Have you thought about either metal tree guards or wooden vase types. Will cost more, won't waste any grazing land.

 

Last but most importantly will give the neighbour who is paying a classic parkland view.

 

Thinking of suggesting leyland cypress as a replacement, may not even need fencing:laugh1:

 

I noticed electric fencing in the field, so it may be something the client can organise himself. Just waiting for Barchams quote now.
