Agricultural Fencing: Keep Your Farm Land Safe
For All Types of Agricultural Boundary Requirements
Keeping track of where everything is within your farm / Agricultural Units can be difficult! First Fence now offers Agricultural Fencing as part of its ever-expanding range.
Agricultural Fencing has a wide range of use cases, including containment to landmarking. This sort of fencing can help you bring control to your land by keeping animals away from your crops or keeping them within a certain area. Also, as a by-product, they can aid in deterring trespassers from your land, helping you achieve control and peace of mind.
Agricultural Fencing comes in a range of different forms and styles, from simple post and railings to electric systems. Take note that if you are trying to contain specific animals, you will need a specific fence style for each. First Fence can give you a helping hand with this with our data sheets and product descriptions.
What Sort of Agricultural Fencing Do We Offer?
Rabbit Fencing
Rabbit netting is the ideal fencing for keeping rabbits out of unwanted areas or to keep them within enclosures. This netting can be buried or turned out in the direction of the threat to prevent rabbits from digging under. Rabbit Fencing is compliant with B.S.EN 10244-2.
Badger Fence
Badger Fencing is suitable for keeping badgers out of your land. This High Tensile Badger Mesh is compliant with B.S.EN 10223-5/10244-2 and meets highway agency specifications H46 and H47. This netting should be buried to 30cm, then turned out 25cm, leaving an above-ground height of 103cm. This fencing can be installed tightly and straighter than mild steel and is a far stronger option.
Equestrian Fencing
Horse fencing is best suited to horse paddocks, designed as a high tensile equine fencing system and is fully compliant with B.S.EN 10223-5/10244-2. The 8cm (3”) distance between the vertical wires has been designed to prevent horses and ponies from injuring themselves by getting caught in the fence. This fencing can be installed tighter and at a higher tension than standard mild steel wire mesh, meaning fewer posts are needed, making the fencing far faster to erect, also, in turn, more cost-effective.
Stock Fencing - Light Grade
Stock fencing is an all-around wire fencing system which can be used for a variety of applications including cattle, sheep, pigs and other forest perimeters. All our Light Grade Stock Fencing is compliant with B.S.EN 10223-5/10244-2.
Plain Wire Fencing
Plain Steel wire is available in three different varieties and can be used for a wide number of agricultural fencing applications. Our Plain Steel wires comply with B.S.EN 10244-2. This wire roll provides a practical alternative to standard agricultural fencing.
Tips for Building and Maintaining Agricultural Fencing
To prevent pressure from cattle, add barbed wire to the top of the fencing.
Use a straightening clamp to create even tension across the fence line.
Use concrete to secure the post when working on the loose ground. However, this makes the fencing system harder to move.
Use a stand of plain wire between your end posts to create a straight line, and use the straight line as a guide to position your intermediate posts.
