Traditional Steel Estate Fencing

According to the Government Legislation, you do not need planning permission to erect a new fence, or alter, maintain, improve or take down an existing fence, wall or gate unless:

• Your fence height including trellis exceeds 2 metres (6.56ft) in height.

• Your fence height is higher than 1 metre (3.28ft) and you live next to a public highway or a footpath.

• Your house is a listed building.

• You live within the curtilage of a listed building, or in a conservation area.

• Your fence forms a boundary with a neighbouring listed building

Many of our products, including Traditional Estate Fencing, Steel Weave Fencing, Deer Fencing and Railings are completely bespoke and made to measure in line with the specifications we receive from our customers. With this in mind, we advise all our potential clients to get in touch with our team and begin the process of getting your ideal estate fencing. 

Mild Steel

Mild steel is made up of iron and carbon and is delivered to us as a raw material that we fabricate to suit our client requirements.

Without being treated (painted or galvanised), the metal will rust if exposed to the elements. Many clients prefer our products untreated to establish a natural golden patina.

Galvanised

Galvanising is a process that stops steel from oxidation (rusting). Our mild steel is hot-dipped in molten zinc which creates a chemical reaction forming a very hard protective coating of zinc that is engrained into the steel.

This layer of protection provides a barrier of protection between airborne moisture and the steel to make it corrosion-resistant and durable. Galvanised steel can be primed and painted in any colour.

CorTen

CorTen steel is also known as the ‘weathering steel’.

Once exposed to the elements, CorTen steel forms a natural protective layer, creating a stunning patina of copper hues, rust, and bronze.

This protective layer is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also creates an exceptional barrier to corrosion whilst maintaining the utmost tensile strength.

Our CorTen steel products require no maintenance and will last a lifetime and beyond depending on the thickness of steel.

Our most popular option is mild steel estate fencing, painted, however, we also offer galvanised mild steel estate fencing, painted, or left solely galvanised, stainless steel or untreated mild steel, left to turn a golden natural patina.

Our standard fencing is available with either 4 or 5 fence rails and is commonly 4ft (1.2 metres) in height and has round top rails with an option of either round or flat lower rails.

Our standard estate fencing comes in a range of heights and number of rails:

• 1.4 metres high with 6 rails
• 1.2 metres high with 5 rails
• 1.2 metres high with 4 rails
• 1 metre high with 5 rails
• 1 metre high with 4 rails

In addition to our standard fencing, we can fabricate and install any type of Bespoke Fencing to suit your requirements

For structural integrity, helping give more rigidity to your fence as well as enhancing aesthetics, we supply 76 mm round or square end posts with different types of finials on top. Whilst 76 mm is the most popular, we can also supply smaller or larger-sized end posts for your fence line.

We use the same end posts for our corner posts, providing a structural and decorative point for when your fence changes to a sharp angle such as 90-degrees. All our end/corner posts are concreted a minimum of 2ft in the ground with each rail welded onto them.

Our bare metal steel products, whether mild steel or Corten, will take several months to establish a golden brown patina.

Atmospheric pollutants will impact the process, for example, urban areas and coastal locations will weather our steel faster than the countryside.

Yes. We supply and install two different design options to prevent animals from getting out or in.

The more decorative option, which is particularly popular for around gardens is our 6mm round bar. This is a very fine rail that divides the gaps between our bottom main rails.

Our other option is our 2.5mm high tensile galvanised lamb wire to run between the bottom rails, tensioned using gripples. Lamb wire is nearly invisible from a distance. Either option can include as many or as few runs between each rail and as high as required.

We strongly advise for cattle or any other animal with considerable weight, that you opt for our livestock estate fencing, where each rail is round and 20mm in diameter.

Each post also has a 150mm thrust plate welded on the bottom which will be knocked in under the ground with every 3rd post fixed in fast-setting concrete. This will make the fence more rigid and provide maximum structural integrity whilst still maintaining a timeless appearance

Whilst the whole fence could not be electric, we can supply steel insulated curved arms which are welded on every 5 metres (for straight runs). These curve out from the estate fencing to prevent Livestock from leaning or jumping over the fencing.

All our steel fencing is made from solid mild steel and will last a lifetime if painted or galvanised.

Steel products can be left to the elements to weather and mature naturally.

To select the right fence for an agricultural farm or a large estate, it is important to bear in mind the type of animals you have on the property.

For large areas of land, parks, and other types of estates, our Estate Fencing is recommended to help create boundaries and protect certain parts of the land from animal damage.

Plant and young tree damage is often the result of deer activity, and the most effective means of preventing deer from damaging your outdoor space is to exclude them entirely with deer fencing.

If the outdoor space is unfenced, tree guards are recommended to protect immature trees from deer activity
