Product Description

Product Description

Whether you need a fence that will protect large livestock such as cattle and horses, or an enclosure for a few chickens, or any size of stock enclosure, this guide contains a wealth of practical information and advice. The book offers guidance on purchasing the correct materials and tools, and the best retailers to do business with; the basic post-and-rail fence, including the ideal equestrian enclosure; and specialist fences for different livestock. It also covers dealing with variations in local topography, including fencing on slopes and crossing rivers and streams; adding stiles and gates to a fence; and advanced fencing techniques, including how to secure posts in shallow or soft ground.


About the Author

Andy Radford became interested in the skills of fence construction when he worked with the Peak District National Park Authority. He runs a landscape business in North Wales and has acted as consultant, designer and contractor for a variety of clients, including schools and local government organizations. He has written articles on the environment for a number of periodicals, including the Guardian newspaper, and is the author of the highly successful A Guide to Dry Stone Walling [Crowood 2001].

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for the Smallholder with limited funds, 5 Feb 2009
To quote the previous reviewer "Fences put up this way take a long time and are expensive compared to modern fencing tools and techniques. A modern fencing contractor would use tractors, gas guns, mini-diggers, chainsaws, and get the job done much quicker."

Yes, this maybe so, but one still has to purchase the material from the contractor and also pay the contractor's going rate. I am a smallholder and have received various quotes for my sheep fencing. I decided to purchase this book to see if it could possibly save me money. As some are well aware smallholders, especially the "small ones" operate of very limited budgets. My husband completed the fencing job, using this book for less than half the price of the cheapest fencing contractor's quote. We are extremely pleased with this book and would recommend to any smallholder as part of their reference book collection.

2.0 out of 5 stars conservation project fencing, 26 Jan 2009
By Matthew Rawlings "enterprise architect" (Lewisham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very easy to read, this book shows you how to put the basic animal fences using simple hand tools. Fences put up this way take a long time and are expensive compared to modern fencing tools and techniques. A modern fencing contractor would use tractors, gas guns, mini-diggers, chainsaws, and get the job done much quicker. You'd also need to know how to put ornamental fences for park land, traditional fences for heritage sites, foot bridges, and other techniques.
