Old fences were in need of repair so we were asked to add new fence posts to the existing fences to prolong the life of them.  In all approx. 1500m in two areas

Vermin-proof fence around the gardens at Iford Manor

Our project here was to erect a vermin-proof fence around the gardens at Iford Manor; The Iford Manor Estate nestles between Westwood and Freshford. It boasts a Grade 1 listed, Italianate garden designed by Edwardian architect Harold Peto when Iford Manor was his home from 1899-1933.
Our task was to erect 800m of 2m high deer netting with rabbit wire at the base which was dug into the ground to prevent animals trying to dig underneath. All on creosote posts.
Also a few candidates for the 2021 calendar!!!
