Dismantle Pine Tree Marlborough
Pictures tell a thousand words – showing Matt undertaking a sectional dismantle in Marlborough of a large pine over a stable block in January. The tree had become unstable and at some point would need to be removed due to its position overhanging stables and within a garden. Not one to shelter under on a windy day! Now all recycled for biomass and drying for future use.
This sequence of images shows a sectional dismantle of a Pine Tree at Manton Grange, Marlborough in January 2017.

Removal of 30 cherry trees Marlborough
Removal of 30 cherry trees, Marlborough
Rich, Geoff and Simon spent a week at Temple Estate in Marlborough at the end of October. They undertook a variety of jobs which included reducing the number of trees on the driveway. The original planting had alternate lime and cherry trees, but now there was no longer space for both. So the decision was taken to remove the 30 cherry trees and their stumps so that the lime trees could thrive better.
More tree and general clearance work was also undertaken to make way for a house extension… See the avenue of limes below.
Post and rail fencing at Manton Grange, Marlborough
In May we erected and replaced additional creosote post and rail fencing at Manton Grange, Marlborough. This allowed the paddocks to be divided, thus giving increased turnout areas for the growing numbers of horses.
450m post and rail with double-sided electric at Manton Grange
This time we recently completed a 450m post and rail with double-sided electric on top of the post and rail to stop horses arguing with each other over the fence and damaging themselves or the fence. This allows for an increased number of horses at Manton Grange. The fence itself was constructed from pressure treated creosote timber; we still find this the most durable and long lasting timber product on the market. It can be unpleasant to work with but has the added advantage that the horses will not chew it either!
Post driving at Rockley near Marlborough
It was a busy time for our Fencing Division on downland in Rockley, near Marlborough, post driving to erect 2000m stock fencing. A bit hairy at times but a good job was done; this now brings the total for the year so far to over 30,000m

Keepsafe Equestrian Fencing near Marlborough
Initially, an American form of fencing, which is now proving very popular here in the UK, Keepsafe Equestrian Fencing is a specially designed wire fence for the equine fencing market.
With a durable and protective diamond weave featuring heavy, twisted horizontal cables, each cable consisting of two wires on 100mm (4″) spacing from the ground to the top. Vertical wires, securely wrapped around each horizontal cable, run diagonally to make a diamond pattern, forming the strongest fence construction available today.
The practical benefits are that not only does it keep as much out as it does in, it is also very springy so safe if horses bounce into it. We bought this fencing in for this job from the US.
