We erected a new turnout inside a covered gallop at Manton at the end of May 2020; tough work in the heat!
It was 5ft high with 4 x 2 rails
Great job done by Dave Alex Adam and Tris

Another day another 1000m post and rail job
Our job here was to replace an old, rotten post and rail fence which had served its time. We removed the fence and replaced it with 1000m of new, creosote-treated timber post and rail fencing. This should last another 30 years.
See our pictures below both ‘during’ and the ‘nice and straight’ at the end…
Picus technology
We returned to Manton to check the health of an ailing beech tree using PICUS technology.
The PICUS Sonic Tomograph is used for non-invasive tree risk assessments in order to measure the thickness of the residual wall of trees with internal defects such as cavities or decay. See more information here.
We were concerned with the tree because of the large fungi brackets on one side. And what the assessment showed was that the tree was rotten in the middle and sadly had to be removed for safety reasons. It’s like giving the tree an MRI scan. Amazing bit of kit.
Hedge trimming at Manton, Marlborough
We undertook 600m of 8-12ft high Beech hedge trimming at Manton, Marlborough. The hedge was around the formal gardens, with poor access and tender lawns, so all the work was done by hand with just a hedge trimmer; well four actually and using our MEWP where possible!

Post and rail fencing at Manton Grange, Marlborough
In May we erected and replaced additional creosote post and rail fencing at Manton Grange, Marlborough. This allowed the paddocks to be divided, thus giving increased turnout areas for the growing numbers of horses.
450m post and rail with double-sided electric at Manton Grange
This time we recently completed a 450m post and rail with double-sided electric on top of the post and rail to stop horses arguing with each other over the fence and damaging themselves or the fence. This allows for an increased number of horses at Manton Grange. The fence itself was constructed from pressure treated creosote timber; we still find this the most durable and long lasting timber product on the market. It can be unpleasant to work with but has the added advantage that the horses will not chew it either!
