Loving winter… Here we’re erecting Equinet fencing for a racehorse yard in Beckhampton to replace an old stock fence

Fencing in Savernake Forest
Before you put the fence up you have to clear the path;
More in Savernnake this week with Alex Draper acting as pathfinder!
Pair of steel and chain link gates with a 6m span
Erecting these massive steel gates is the conclusion to work we have carried out for Wessex Water at their Gillingham sewage treatment plant over the last year. These gates are steel and chain link to match the fence which we constructed last year.
1800m stock fence replaced for Natural England at Parsonage Down, Warminster
A brighted morning today….
Our task here was to replace 1800m of old fencing with new standard stock fencing for Natural England. Our Evo Post Driver was put to good use!
More Tornado equinet and creosote timber fencing and paddocks near Marlborough
This is a continuation of work we have undertaken earlier in the year. The Equinet and creosote fencing is to keep the polo ponies in and the dogs out and the new paddocks are for yearlings and resting racehorses. Equinet is from the UK Tornado brand and the UK equivalent for Keepsafe which is a USA product.
Great job by Alex Draper, Dave Thompson and Adam Patterson.
Replacing 250m post and rail
We replaced 250m for a local client this week erected by Tristan Lenny Warden Gordon Bottomley with help from Tad and Kieran.
And then back to our 19k meters job within the Savernake Forest.
Cattle handling unit at Savernake Forest
New cattle handling unit constructed for the project to reintroduce cattle to Savernake Forest. The handling unit is part of the same fence project as posted before and we are just about to start another pen consisting of 10,000m of fencing!
See our fencing page for details of our other projects.
Manton Downs Stud Rail Project
This is an ongoing project running over several months.
Here we show Dave’s video featuring some 3,500m approx of post and stud rail we erected to make the side fence to the racecourse gallops. This took us about 10 days to complete.
We then needed to add a number of 5-bar timber gates and some additional fencing to ensure the horses can be safely secured. You’ll see a couple of the gates we painted white which was in keeping with them being at the side of the gallops.
Woodland Fencing project in Savernake Forest, near Marlborough
We are undertaking a large ongoing woodland project near Marlborough, creating new fenced areas to allow grazing within Savernake Forest; this will allow cattle back into the ancient forest to help with its management. The fencing consists of 2 strands of barbed wire and a single strand of plain wire.
Deer Fencing in Melksham
Deer Fencing is usually 1.8m galvanized wire, which is very strong and lightweight. No barbed wire on top. It allows you to protect your trees and shrubs from being eaten or being used to rub up against.
We have recently installed just under 800m of 2m high deer fencing in Melksham for a field crop trial site to prevent deer browsing and impacting on the trial results. In addition to the fencing, we erected 4 gates to match.
