6000m stock fencing on top of Tan Hill
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.)
Rock spiking in the rain in Winsley
Following long delays, our clients recently took possession of their small holding at Winsley, with 10 acres of unkept land and gardens to secure mainly to keep livestock and young children out of harm’s way.
Here’s Tristan Warden rock spiking before driving in posts for goat fencing at Bradford on Avon using our Protech Evo 3 to drive the posts. The hydraulic rock spike on this Post Driver is just the job for rocky and solid ground, using it to make a pilot hole first.
We have erected a mixture of 60m x 4ft picket fencing around the house. We also fitted a mixture of goat and stock fencing in the paddocks, all on creosote timber posts for longevity- 500m stock fencing 1.2m high, with gates, with one strand of barbed wire on top.
Here’s the link to our section on Stock Fencing on the website.
1800m stock fence replaced for Natural England at Parsonage Down, Warminster
A brighted morning today….
Our task here was to replace 1800m of old fencing with new standard stock fencing for Natural England. Our Evo Post Driver was put to good use!
Protech Evo2 tracked self-propelled post driver’s first service
Our Protech has clocked up 700 hours in just over 12 months, so an oil change and some TLC was in order as the ground has been harder than usual these last months.
Then off for 1200m more stock fencing at Noremead (remember the pictures with the goats?) – and some repairs.
Stock Fencing on the edge of Marlborough Downs to keep the goats in!
Nothing likes to test our fence more than the goats at Noremead, where we have been repairing fences and adding new stock fencing prior to and during spring turnout.
We erected some 250m new stock fencing on the edge of the Marlborough Downs and undertook lots of repairs to stock fences to try and keep the goats in!

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
