Agricultural and forestry fencing overview.
Stock fencing’s function is to keep grazing domesticated animals penned in, or out, depending on the requirement. There is a variety of mesh sizes and heights used to control different stock, from a small mesh to control small animals such as rabbits, through cattle fencing at about 1.15 metres to a 2 metre high deer fence. To ease human access stiles and gates are needed at appropriate points.
Timber round posts are typically used as strainers at corners, driven into the ground by a post driver if it is in firm and stable soil, or if the soil is looser a concrete base is better. Posts are typically 90mm in diameter, with 175mm diameter used at corners and ends, which are braced with 75-100mm struts, usually angled at 45° to the upright. Turners are the posts (smaller than strainers) to assist with the fence changing direction due to the irregular shape of a field. Normally these would be around 150mm diameter. Murthly Sawmill can supply all the timber, mesh, wire and fixings required, along with fencing tools - for example to fix, strain and clamp wire. Follow advice on materials requirements from your fencing contractor, or from the sawmill itself if you are performing your own fence installation. Notice that the “popular examples” shown below are just that - please ask if you need different dimensions, which are either in stock or can be cut to order.
