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.

Rock spiking in the rain in Winsley

Following long delays, our clients recently took possession of their small holding at Winsley, with 10 acres of unkept land and gardens to secure mainly to keep livestock and young children out of harm’s way.

Here’s Tristan Warden rock spiking before driving in posts for goat fencing at Bradford on Avon using our Protech Evo 3 to drive the posts. The hydraulic rock spike on this Post Driver is just the job for rocky and solid ground, using it to make a pilot hole first.

 We have erected a mixture of 60m x 4ft picket fencing around the house. We also fitted a mixture of goat and stock fencing in the paddocks, all on creosote timber posts for longevity- 500m stock fencing 1.2m high, with gates, with one strand of barbed wire on top. 

Here’s the link to our section on Stock Fencing on the website.
