9000m replacement stock fencing project starting June 2023

9000m replacement stock fencing project over the next few months
Close to the ancient Wansdyke (a series of early medieval defensive earthworks consisting of a ditch and a running embankment from the ditch spoil, with the ditching facing north).
The name is taken from Woden’s Dyke.
Not a bad view, either!  Our Evo 3 Protech is making a 500-metre roll of netting look quite small!!

5’ high  post and rail fence

Part of a larger fencing project, a 5ft (1.45m) high post and rail fence as part of a cattle handling unit.   We have been fencing for The Gourmet Goat Farmer at Avebury (or on Facebook here) constructing a new cattle handling unit.  In addition, we’ve carried out various other fence repairs and replacements prior to livestock going out for summer grazing – if spring arrives!

6000m stock fencing on top of Tan Hill

Posted on by Debbie Newman

e’ve now come to the end of phase 1 of the stock fence work on top of Wiltshire’s second-highest point.   We had erected 6000m of stock fencing on the top of Tan Hill.

The first two images go back to mid-December, with the third as at mid-February.

“Tan Hill (grid reference SU081646) is a hill north of Allington in the parish of All Cannings, Wiltshire.  Its summit is 294 metres (965 ft) above sea level and is the second highest point of the North Wessex Downs AONB hill ran  ge (the adjacent Milk Hill is 295 m high), and of Wiltshire. Interestingly it is also the third highest point between Bristol and London”. (Thanks to WIKI.)
