358 Security Mesh fencing – as a rat deterrent?

Typically, 358 Security Mesh is the ideal solution for a wide variety of high-security perimeter and access control applications…The mesh is made from 75mm x 12.5mm x 4mm galvanised material and polyester-coated welded mesh fabric and is

  • Climb resistant – its tiny spaces and welds at each intersection eliminate foot and finger holds and also stops objects being passed through
  • Very effective against the use of hand cutting tools
  • Comes in standard heights from 2m up to 6m

We had to replace 55m of 25-year old fencing along 3 sides of a garden, two of which had a footpath running along the outside.  Because of the footpath, fields on the other side and the fact the householder wanted to continue feeding the birds, our solution for endeavouring to keep any rats at bay was to break up some of our high security 358 prison mesh into 30 cms strips and fix to the gravel board  at the bottom of the fence into a channel we had dug. This then was then back-filled with the soil so the green mesh is scarcely visible.  So hopefully this will do the job.  The mesh is galvanized and green plastic coated.

“Delighted with the work from William and his team.  Really nice, hard-working, professional guys who talk things through with you, keeping you informed.  Great job done and I love the mesh idea. Just brilliant.  Thank you”.  Debbie Newman

The first picture below is how you would more normally see this mesh being used.  Some work we undertook in Blandford in the summer for Wessex Water.  Then a close up of how the mesh really looks, and finally how it is in situ fixed to the gravel board.

New eventing yard Chippenham

New eventing yard Chippenham

It’s been a busy few weeks for our fencing team working on an exciting new build Equestrian yard project near Chippenham.

First up we dug a 60 x 20 arena, installed the drainage, fixed the membrane and added 8 inches of stone.

Then we fenced the area and put boards down, all ready for the top surface.

Next will be a new American barn with stables, paddocks, storage building and horse walking to follow with post and rail paddocks.

More posts to follow to keep you updated and for more information about our other fencing projects please see this web page.

Security fencing with two access gates for Wessex Water in Blandford Forum Dorset

Something a little different

We erected a 2.4 m high “358 prison steel” mesh security fencing with two access gates for Wessex Water in Blandford Forum Dorset.  This was ‘green blend’ in colour so as to blend in with the landscape. The fencing was to provide safe storage of their water purification equipment.

Domestic sleeper retaining wall with close board fencing fitted on top in Market Lavington

We supplied and erected a 15m domestic sleeper retaining wall with 1.8m close board fencing on top in Market Lavington.

Our client had an old conifer hedge which had passed its usefulness and had become an eyesore.  We removed the conifers and replaced them with a sleeper retaining wall which was perfect for the sloping ground and banking it needed to retain.  Then on top of this, we erected a 1.8m domestic close board fence.

“I used CC to remove my existing hedge and as William and his team were very competent and professional for that job I was happy to instruct them to build the new fence.  William came out and we discussed the fence and how it would be erected on a very difficult steeply sloping site and I was impressed by his approach and so was confident that the job would be well done.

The team who came out were very polite and efficient and I am glad to say they did not have a radio blaring out which often is the case with contractors;
they left the site clean and tidy.  I was impressed that a couple of days after completion William came to check I was happy with the job.

I would be happy to recommend Conservation Contractors for similar work”.
