Agriculture Fencing Solutions

Our range of agricultural products is designed to fit into a wide variety of projects. From rural areas and farm land to housing estates and temporary fencing with tree protection in mind, we have the solution.

The First Fence range of agricultural fencing is designed to provide clear property boundaries, add security, and not disturb the natural environment. Discover the full range below.

Wire Rolls

All of our wire roll fencing is produced from galvanised steel, which guarantees a strong and stable boundary. This has been designed for prolonged outdoor use with little to no maintenance once installed.

Wire Fencing

We have a variety of wire products to suit different animals, from horses and ponies to rabbits, all designed to ensure the safety of the animal. Our smaller animal netting has been designed so it can be installed partially underground to prevent animals from digging underneath the fence line. Our range of fencing for larger animals has specific distances between the vertical wires, which can prevent horses from getting their hooves caught, which could cause injury or distress to the animal. Our wire fencing can also be used to outline field or allotment perimeters.

Badger Gates

PastureGuard® Badger Gates provide a durable, wildlife-friendly solution for protecting rural fencing while maintaining natural badger access routes. Manufactured from heavy-duty 4mm galvanised steel with a corrosion-resistant powder-coated finish, these gates are designed to integrate seamlessly into stock fencing, wire mesh, and deer fencing. Their two-way gravity swing mechanism allows badgers to pass through safely, helping to prevent digging, fence damage, and costly repairs while supporting habitat connectivity across farmland, woodland, estates, and conservation areas.

Timber Posts

Our agricultural Timber Fence Post Kits and accessories provide strong and durable support for wire fencing. Crafted from high-quality treated wood, these posts are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, resist rot and insect damage, and offer long-lasting performance.

Whether you need to secure the perimeter, keep livestock safe, or enhance garden aesthetics, First Fence has the high-quality timber posts you need.

Sheep Hurdles

Sheep Hurdles have proven to be a quintessential piece of farming equipment. We stock our hurdles in both 4ft and 6ft varieties, with the option of powder coating to ensure that they suit your requirements.

Kissing Gates

Our galvanised kissing gates are engineered for durability and ease of use, providing secure access while effectively containing livestock. Unlike traditional leaf gates, kissing gates require minimal space and don’t need a wide swing clearance. This makes them perfect for narrow areas or high-traffic walking routes where safety and accessibility are essential.

Timber Knee Rails

Timber knee rail fencing offers a simple yet effective solution for marking boundaries and adding a touch of rustic charm to your garden, park, or public space. The low-profile design makes it easy to step over, while the sturdy construction, often pressure-treated, ensures long-lasting performance. Its affordability and ease of installation make it a popular choice for both domestic and commercial settings.

Timber Fencing

We have a range of timber fence panels, posts and gravel boards to ensure that you can complete a sleek and modern garden perimeter.

Farm Gates

Farm gates play a key role in managing livestock, enabling vehicle and equipment access, and securing property boundaries. Our gates are built to last, featuring a galvanised coating that resists the elements and enhances longevity. Available in a range of sizes from 3ft to 16ft, they’re suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

Estate Fencing & Gates

For defining perimeters on agricultural estates, parkland, and large rural properties, our EnviroRail® Estate Fencing and Gates provide a solution that blends a traditional aesthetic with modern strength. Constructed from galvanised steel and often powder-coated for exceptional longevity, this low-maintenance system is more durable than traditional timber rails. Its modular design also ensures a straightforward installation, even across the uneven terrain typical of fields and rural access ways.

Tree Protection

In addition to boundary marking, we also address land development needs. Protecting mature trees during construction is a critical legal requirement to secure planning permission. To safeguard root structures from compaction by heavy machinery, we provide a fully compliant back-braced steel system designed to meet the rigorous BS 5837:2012 standard. For sites without these strict legal conditions, we also offer robust non-compliant alternatives, including strong steel vertical bracing frames only and simple timber post tree protection kits, which serve as effective visual deterrents.

Where Can Agriculture Fencing Be Installed?

For speciality solutions like Sheep Hurdles, these are designed for a particular purpose. The remainder of our agriculture fencing can be installed in a variety of locations, including:

Farm and rural land
Public hiking trails and countryside footpaths
