Why Fencing Is Essential for Livestock and Land Development: A Case Study

Fencing is done for so many different reasons, usually security and boundary setting but there is sometimes a secondary purpose. This particular job was for a customer who had just purchased some land. They wanted to secure the whole perimeter with posts and high tensile sheep netting, plus two strands of barbed wire for extra security.

This was a great project seeing the transformation of untended land into something suitable for livestock while also adding value for future development.

Before we got started with the fence, we spent some time cutting back hedges and tree shearing in certain areas. This allowed us to push the boundary back as far as possible, making sure no valuable land was lost.

The ground itself was pretty rocky, but thanks to the rock spike on the Pro-Tech post knocker, we were able to get the posts in with no problem, even on tough terrain.

While the land was empty at the time with the fence installed, it can now be used in a productive way as well as its secondary purpose, potential development.

In its new state in can now be presented as cleared, securely fenced land which is much more desirable and can significantly increase a property’s value when presenting to potential purchasers and developers.

Some food for thought if you're looking to repurpose your land or make it more 'appealing' to potential developers.
