Back again, this time to replace old stock and barbed wire fence past its best. The Gourmet Goat Farmer breeds Does of Boer goats and can deliver locally. See their web page or their Facebook page
The fence was approx 2000m in total, some sections of which had 3 strands of barbed wire. The finished height of wire was 4ft.
See details of our agricultural fencing services here.
Our task here was to replace a fence which adjoins a farmer’s field. So we had first to liaise with the farmer to find the right time for when no cattle were in residence. We then had a considerable job in clearing a large amount of old timber and chainlink fence along with the old hedge, conifers and bushes.
The total fence was 50m long approx. x 1.8m close board. Also included was a gate which now allows easy access to the field for the owners and their dogs.

Before and After pictures…

A spot of ditching last week in Rowde now the water levels have dropped.
We are still working and managing to meet the government guidelines
With the present situation only going to get worse, the power industry still needs woodchip to help meet its generation targets.
Following the removal of 3000m of the old fence, it is time to start with replacement along the front of Bulford Firing Ranges to prevent access when live firing
So, our Evo 1 post driver came in useful to replace the 3000m fencing.

And here we add a few more pictures of the fencing complete as at mid-March.
Not all tree-related work for us here at Conservation Contractors!
We’re still busy fencing away, and here was a stretch of 1500m stock netting to keep cattle in on 15-year posts with creosote strainers. On top of the HT stock netting, we put 3 strands of barbed wire.
In case you wondered, a strainer post is the corner post – the larger ones that take the strain and the load-bearing parts of the fence!

Catching up on some storm-damaged trees – only the tricky ones left; this multi-stem ash presented an initial challenge in a private rear garden.
Can’t climb
can’t fell
no access!
So then, we had to fell at ground level very carefully.
Should the owners have had a survey done? Yes, most definitely. But it was in a private rear garden and this just didn’t happen…
