Post and Rail

For the horse owner, post and rail fencing is the most practical answer to the problem of horse containment. With post and wire alternatives there is always a risk of entanglement and injury should your horse stamp between the wires, while electric fencing is both high maintenance and rendered useless if the power fails. For valuable and cherished animals, post and rail can be relied upon year after year.

Monteith fencing offers many variations of post and rail that can be chosen to suit yours and your four legged friends' requirements. Concreted, tamped-backfill or driven posts; square cut posts or round stakes; two, three, or four bars high; square or half round rails; softwood or sweet chestnut. Many horse owners already know what design of post-and-rail fencing they require for the size and temperament of their horse, but if you are not sure, we can advise you on the various designs on consultation.

We use pressure treated square cut timber posts that are UC4 (use class 4) with a 15 year service life. We can also offer the option of longer life SS4 (Sector Scheme 4 - Highways Specification) treated posts with a 30 year lifespan.

We have installed over 1700 metres of post and rail to date.

Barbed and Plain Wire Fencing

We have installed over 22,000 metres of post and wire to date.

Stock Netting

Stock netting is the standard for sheep/lamb and pig enclosures and also an effective barrier to discourage people and dogs disturbing your animals where public access can be a nuisance.
We only use sweet chestnut fencing stakes and posts with a long life span from sustainable UK coppices, together with thick high tensile barbed or plain wire. We install a framework of strutted straining posts and fencing stakes using machinery or by hand depending on the terrain. Stock-netting with strands of barbed or plain wire above are strained to achieve a highly tensioned, rigid structure.

We have installed over 6000 metres of stocknetting to date.
