The Importance of Effective Fencing


Effective fencing serves as the first line of defence against threats such as wildlife, trespassers, and harsh weather. A robust fence protects not only your valuable crops but also your livestock. For instance, deer can consume an average of 7 to 10 pounds of greenery daily, while larger livestock like cows may wander into areas they shouldn't be in if there are no secure barriers - we have 10 cows at the animal sanctuary we are part of so we know how much they can eat which we wouldn't want happening in the wrong areas!


Electric Fencing

Electric fencing is an innovative choice that has gained popularity among farmers and landowners, and is certainly a proven deterrent to both human and animal intruders! This type of fencing MUST be installed by an experienced fencing contractor who has the expertise and tools to ensure a safe and secure result. This is one of the types of fencing choices that Best Equine & Agricultural Fencing Ltd has over 20 years of professional experience with.


Living Fences

Living fences blend aesthetics with functionality. These fences involve planting thorny bushes or trees to create a natural barrier, providing protection to crops, and creating natural-looking landscapes. Popular choices for this kind of fencing include blackberry bushes and hawthorn trees, which also improve your land's biodiversity by attracting insects and birds.


High-Tech Fencing Solutions


In our digital age, technology has transformed agricultural fencing. Smart fencing systems equipped with surveillance cameras and motion sensors can instantly alert you to any security breaches. meaning you can be notified on your smartphone if someone or something attempts a break into (or out! of your fields.


Modular Fencing


If adaptability is key for your agricultural and farming needs, modular fencing may be the pick for you. These fences come in a variety of materials such as wood or metal and is easy to move / change if your fence layout needs reconfiguring due to crop or animal needs.


Incorporating Fencing with Landscaping


Using native plants around your fence can deter intruders while also attracting pollinators and other useful wildlife. The more pollinators you have the more useful they will be when it comes to improving your crop yields!


Well-placed shrubs, hedges, and flowers can serve as a buffer, enhancing both security and aesthetics.
