Agri fencing question/ advice

[Jamouk]

Moving to a rural property in a couple of months , and with small kids and dog got to make it secure , looks like a lot of stock fencing going to be needed as current 3 runs of barbed wire not going to be great with either , there's a section to the rear of the property which is currently unfenced and runs along a public foot path so anyone could just walk in, looking for someone thing taller than a stock fence and something that offers a bit of privacy , the ground is quite wet there as runs alongside a brook , and also occasionally floods every few years , any ideas

Id put 1m rabbit fence on cresote treated posts then plant a native hedge, assuming you will have the room

Try Tornado R13/120/5 netting then as above plant a native barrier.
Plenty of fencers in Ringwood area.

If you want a fencing option that will last

The Clipex is good, you can get it with wire spacing alot tighter than standard Rylock and 1.5m tall ideal for keeping dogs and kids in.
Mcveigh Parker are the suppliers I use although am not a fencer I do wee bit now and then.

If you're not experienced in erecting fencing then get a good contractor in to do the perimeter for you.

Plant a hedge along the footpath for privacy.

Will need a fence first to stop escapees ! Hedgerow will obv take a bit of time to establish is there any that will take well in wet soil as walking around it you do sink a bit in some areas its also about an 80-100m run

A double fenced hedge, for preference.

 

[Brad93]

Definitely need a fence there

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I wish I had used galvanised posts and chainlink and planted a hedge on my boundaries. A hedge is soft on the eye.
Time soon passes. Mine is coming up for twenty years old, and I'm thinking I've got work coming up.
Avoid timber if you are going to stay any length of time.

Pressure creosote treated timber posts have a life expectancy of 40+ years and are easier on the eye than metal.

What is the total length of fencing you require ?

 

[Jamouk]

Need to have a proper measure up as not there yet but approx
60m of normal stock fencing on lhs then maybe another 80 across the back of the fencing above rhs already had stock fencing although not inspected it as the ram in the paddock wasn't friendly!

Copper oil stakes / posts would be safer next to a water coarse guaranteed to 40 yrs better than creosote for pollution reasons.

 

[Scuffy]

Or just wrap posts with Post savers

Clipex is definitely the way to go, will last and much easier/pleasant to put in than creosote!

They look like the proper job fencing posts, treated the same way as telegraph poles I expect. The bog standard jobbies don't seem to last long in my experience.
I was thinking the hedging would obscure the galvanised posts/chainlink when it grows, and pretty much last someone's lifetime.
Thanks for the link.
