Stock Fencing near Salisbury

This picture doesn’t do the terrain justice –  it is a lot steeper than it looks.   Alex, Matt and Brian have been erecting some stock fencing on the edge of Salisbury Plain now the ground has dried out we can tackle the steeper fence runs!
Protech Evo 3  Post Driver makes the task effortless.

Wick Farm Solar Project near Melksham

Work started in mid-December 2024 to erect 13,000m of fencing around the farm site.  So far, we’re up to about 10,000m.

We are using our Evo 3 post driver/creosote timber posts with Solonet deer wire unrolled /tensioner with Tornado 450m rolls of deer netting.  The timber we are using is supplied and treated in the UK and we are using UK-manufactured wire netting.

These 450m rolls have been specially ordered for this project instead of the standard 100m, to reduce the amount of joining.  

The site consists of 16 separate compartments of solar panels. We have installed gates along with the fences and ED & W Bodman have installed all tracks.

It was nice to see the sun one-day last week!

Here Tristan and Toby are flying along with the fencing.

Mulching, fencing and then protection for ground nesting birds

Not the most exciting pictures…

However, after mulching this site,  it has been fenced to provide a protective haven for ground-nesting birds from people walking their dogs at Castle Hill in Salisbury.
