Fencing & scrub clearance near Marlborough December 2023

With all posts now in, there’s a suitable point to break for Christmas.  a project which has been challenging at times.

A  little more scrub to tidy up in 2024 and a few 1000m of netting to pull up.

The Compact Protech post driver is off to pastures new in January,  with a new one ready to be collected.

New sign writing not so visible now!

More Tornado equinet and creosote timber fencing and paddocks near Marlborough

This is a continuation of work we have undertaken earlier in the year.  The Equinet and creosote fencing is to keep the polo ponies in and the dogs out and the new paddocks are for yearlings and resting racehorses.  Equinet is from the UK Tornado brand and the UK equivalent for Keepsafe which is a USA product.

Great job by Alex Draper, Dave Thompson and Adam Patterson.

See our post from last summer showing some of the 3,500m of post and stud rail we erected to make the side fence to the racehorse gallops.

Close board fencing and hardwood iroko timber gates in Marlborough

Our client had just purchased the house in Marlborough and our brief was to make the garden dog-proof and a little more private with a small length of close board fencing (8m). In addition, we installed new hardwood iroko timber gates and oak posts; curved heel is the higher side of the gate to give a diagonal brace –  just different! And we created an area to make a secluded bin store.   Iroko is a highly durable timber with a medium oily texture.  It is frequently referred to as African Teak due to its durability and appearance.
