DFL Fencing offers a range of horse fencing services to cater to the diverse needs of our clients. Here are some of the types of horse fencing we specialise in:
Timber Post and Rail Fencing
Timber post and rail fencing is a timeless and classic option for containing horses. It provides a sturdy barrier while also adding charm to your property. This type of fence can be customised with different spacing between the rails to suit your specific needs. We use high-quality treated timber to ensure durability and longevity for all timber post & rail fence installations.
Electric Tape Fencing
Electric tape fencing is popular for horse owners who want a secure yet less visible fence. This type of fence uses an electrified polytope that is highly visible to horses, keeping them safely contained within the designated area. It also serves as a deterrent for other animals and prevents potential accidents. Our team can install electric tape fencing in various configurations to suit your specific needs.
Board Fencing
Board fencing is another popular horse fencing option that offers both functionality and aesthetics. The boards are typically made from high-quality wood or PVC materials, providing a strong barrier for your horses. We use timber, oak, or PVC boards for our installations, ensuring durability and longevity. Board fencing also allows for customization in terms of height, spacing between boards, and colour.
Morticed Post and Heavy Rail
We recommend mortised post and heavy rail fencing for a more traditional and sturdy horse fencing option. This type of fence uses heavy-duty timber posts with notches or holes cut into them to hold the rails in place securely. Built with three or four horizontal lines, this fence can withstand heavy impact and is a great option for larger horses or high-traffic areas.
Woven Wire Horse Fencing
Woven wire horse fencing, or “no-climb” fencing, is a safe and effective option for horse-containing. The cattle gate fence features closely spaced vertical and horizontal wires that prevent the horse from getting their feet or head caught in between them. It also provides better visibility than traditional wire mesh fences, reducing the risk of injury.
Traditional Equestrian Post and Wire Fence
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that still offers security, the traditional equestrian post-and-wire fence is a great choice. This type of fencing consists of post wire and batten, with wire mesh or netting attached. We also install plastic-coated equine wire for added strength and durability. The fence can be customised with different heights and spacing between the wires, making it suitable for various types of horses.
