This ongoing project spans over 4000 metres of fencing for a public-facing horse rescue centre. Developed over six months with the client, this bespoke design prioritises the safety of both horses and visitors, alongside long-term durability and a tidy, professional finish.
Bespoke Safety-First Design
Built Around Specific Rescue Centre Needs
This fencing specification was designed with careful consideration of long-term stability, public safety, and the behavioural needs of rescue horses. Using high tensile Tornado Horse Netting with smaller 50mm apertures, the system is reinforced with multiple components to ensure reliability for years to come.
- High tensile 50mm aperture horse-safe mesh
- 5x3" UC4 posts at 3.6m centres
- Class 4 treated with creosote-treated bottom third
- 4x2" top rail and 6x11/2" kickboard
- Midway 4x2" prick posts to keep lines straight
Engineered for Longevity & Performance
Durable Materials, Proven Fixings
From the 15-year warranty on timber posts to the use of gripples, staples and twisters for clean tensioning - every element of this install has been chosen for reliability and strength in high-traffic environments. Designed to keep horses safe and the fencing looking tidy over time.
- Class 4 treated timber with manufacturer warranty
- Creosoted base for additional ground contact protection
- Gripples and twisters for consistent tensioning
- Designed for long-term visual appeal and performance
- Ideal for high-use, public-access agricultural spaces
Progress Update - First Paddocks Complete
Approximately 400m Installed Across Two Fields
The first two paddocks - around 400 metres of fencing - are now fully installed and finished. As with the wider project, these sections use high tensile horse netting with 50mm apertures, all carefully tensioned and secured with gripples and staples. Each line is braced with 4x2" prick posts to maintain strength and alignment.
- 400m of fencing now installed
- Over 1000m of old fencing cleared
- 50mm aperture horse mesh - high tensile
- UC4 creosoted 5x3" posts at 3.6m spacing
- 4x2" top rail and 6x11/2" kickboard throughout
- Finished with gripple tensioners and twisters
