Why do I need fencing in an Agricultural Setting?
There are many reasons why an agricultural setting may require fencing and gate solutions, and making sure that you’ve got the right system for you is critical.
One of the main purposes of agricultural fencing is to contain livestock and ensure that there is no risk of them escaping. Depending on the livestock will of course determine which fencing and gate options are most suitable. For example, if you are preparing for lambing season and looking for something that can be installed quickly and reused each year, sheep hurdles are the ideal solution. However, if you are looking for something to prevent animals wandering off and being at risk to predators, securing the area with one of our farm gates might be the better option.
In addition, the fencing might ensure that the livestock doesn’t come to any harm, if there are any roads nearby if they wandered off too far, or if there are any toxic plants or water areas that are contaminated. The fencing solution would then aid the livestock to remain in the designated areas to act as a preventative measure in case they managed to get out.
Fencing also acts as a protective barrier for crops, keeping away wildlife, pests and any unauthorised access. For example; if you are in an area where there might be deer wandering round, some sort of fencing solution such as our Timber Post & Rail might be able to stop them in their tracks.
A more secure fencing and gate system might be required around the perimeter of the agricultural setting, safeguarding the land itself from trespassers and unwanted visitors, as well as any high priced machinery. Our SR1 (A1), palisade and mesh fencing would be able to help provide a high security system that can deter any opportunistic or planned threats, keeping your land and livestock safe.
Conclusion
