This style of fencing can be used with both timber posts and the far more preferable galvanised steel posts that we work with most commonly. Triple X System using Clipex Fencing and X-Fence Netting There are some fields that have fencing extended below ground level that is still at least 6ft above ground. These fields are often established by dog owners with experience of ‘diggers’. The fence panels themselves are not the only component of a fence. There are two other main components to think about: Also known as featherboard fencing, these are probably the most common wooden fencing panels that you’ll spot across the UK. They’re durable, neat and attractive and aren’t too expensive. Like most fence panels, closeboard fencing is usually 6ft across (1.8m) and either 4ft or 6ft tall.

Yes, for a number of reasons. This will, after some time, deter a horse from certain behaviors that may lead them to escape from the fence, or that may weaken the wire, such as using it as a scratching post.Gravel boards are what fence panels rest on. The panel itself shouldn’t be entrenched into the ground as it will rot and erode. Instead, it has to sit on a gravel board which raises it from the earth and protects it from water damage and erosion. Gravel boards also keep fences level and make it easier to adjust the height of a fence, keeping them straight for sloped gardens. As a standard, anyone setting up a dog field should use high tensile wire fencing that stands at least 6ft (1.8m) from the ground. In this article we’ll explain exactly why using this type of fencing is the best way to maximise your income and protect yourself and your clients from any problems related to fencing.

Here are the average costs of typical fence posts and gravel boards. You’ll need one gravel board and fence post per panel, for a paneled fence at least. Professional fencers will also account for any odd angles and slopes in your garden and can cut fences down to size if required. Costs will be higher where higher-end fencing is selected in combination with sloped gardens. There will be additional costs for clearing the garden and clearing old fences. Fence posts are what the fence panels attach to. They’re buried in the ground and are usually concreted into place. The fence panel, palisade or other types of fence then connects between the posts. Timber post and rail fences and temporary electric fencing both need regular maintenance to ensure they stay effective.

As part of your planning conditions, you may be required to have a fence that is less dominant, with a wider grid aperture so that the fencing does not create a dominating feature on the landscape. This style of fence can be too visually impactful for some planning authorities There are an increasing number of fence suppliers marketing their product as a dog field specific product. Some of these represent an excellent standard and supply quality products but others are jumping on a bandwagon and producing sub-standard products or in some cases entirely unsuitable products. Unsuitable Dog Field Fencing: It is for this reason that we still advise 1.8m+ fencing as the most sensible option for a new dog field operation. Dog High jumping and aggressive dogs may require a taller or stronger fence.
