Robust stock fencing, post and wire, and field gates for farms, smallholdings and rural properties across Surrey, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Hampshire.
A farm fence has a harder job than a garden fence. It needs to contain livestock safely, withstand pressure from animals leaning and pushing, and hold up through years of British weather without constant maintenance. Get it wrong and you’re chasing stock down a road.
We install stock fencing, post and wire, and field gates the way they should be done, posts driven or concreted to the right depth, wire strained properly, and gates hung on posts built to take the load. No shortcuts that look fine on the day and fail six months later.
Whether it’s a single field boundary, a full farm perimeter, or a smallholding that needs stock-proofing from scratch, we’ll survey the ground, give you a straight quote, and get it done.
The workhorse of farm boundaries. We install stock fencing with timber or steel posts, wire strained to the correct tension, and a top rail where needed. Suitable for sheep, cattle, and mixed livestock. We’ll specify the right gauge and mesh size for what you’re running.
Best for: sheep, cattle, mixed livestock, field boundaries
A cost-effective boundary solution for larger acreages where stock fencing isn’t required. Barbed or plain wire on treated timber posts, properly strained and staked. Built to last without the ongoing maintenance of hedgerow or post and rail.
Best for: large perimeters, deer fencing, rabbit exclusion, cattle boundaries
Field gates in galvanised steel or treated timber, hung on properly concreted gate posts sized for the load. Single and double openings for pedestrian, vehicle, and machinery access. Tell us your opening width at survey and we’ll size it to suit.
Best for: farm entrances, field access, machinery width openings
We walk the boundary with you, check ground conditions, access points, and what you’re containing or excluding.
Fence type, post spacing, wire gauge, and gate positions agreed before we start, no surprises on the day.
Posts driven or concreted to the right depth, wire strained correctly, strainer posts and stays where needed.
We check every post, every staple, every gate catch with you before we leave.
Wire strained to the right tension, posts at the right depth. Fencing that holds when stock leans on it.
Insured and a registered waste carrier, old fencing taken away properly.
We don’t cut corners on post depth or wire tension. Jobs done right last years, not months.
You deal directly with the person doing the work, not a call centre, not a subcontractor. Same face from survey to handover.
Farm fencing is survey-led, the size of the area, ground conditions, and what you’re containing all affect the spec.
Stock fencing (hinge joint wire) has a woven pattern that prevents animals pushing through, it’s the standard for sheep and mixed livestock. Line wire is plain or barbed wire strung between posts in horizontal runs, more economical for larger perimeters or cattle boundaries where a physical barrier is enough. We’ll recommend the right type based on what you’re containing and the size of the job.
As a rule, one third of the post in the ground, so a 1.8m post goes 600mm down minimum, more in soft or waterlogged ground. Strainer posts at corners and ends go deeper still and need concrete or a driven stay to take the tension load. We don’t cut corners on post depth, it’s where cheap fencing fails first.
Yes, most farm boundaries aren’t flat. We step the fence on steeper slopes and rack the wire where needed to keep tension consistent. Gateway positions are chosen with drainage and vehicle access in mind. We walk the ground with you before specifying anything.
Yes, we remove and dispose of old wire, posts, and rails as part of the job. We’re a registered waste carrier so it’s taken away legally. Old barbed wire in particular needs handling carefully; we deal with it properly.
It depends on the length and ground conditions. A typical single field boundary (100-300m) is 2-4 days on site. Larger perimeters or multi-field jobs get a clear day-by-day programme before we start. We don’t overcommit, you’ll see the same team from start to finish.
We take on farm and agricultural fencing jobs across the south, agricultural fencing around Reading, farm fencing in Farnham, field and boundary fencing in Fleet and farm fencing around Oxford. Take a look at our recent farm and agricultural fencing projects.
