What Is Rural Fencing?


Rural fencing refers to any type of fencing used in rural areas. Often, rural fencing is used to keep people or animals out or in. For example, you might use fences to contain sheep and other livestock or you might employ taller fencing to keep wild dogs and other predators out.


Rural fencing can help you to separate areas of your holding, protect your assets, and secure your land. Some of the most common reasons for building rural fences include:

 

  • Keeping livestock safe and contained
  • Outlining boundaries between private and public land
  • Protecting your land from intruders


Types Of Rural Fencing


Depending on what type of animals you hold and whether you've had any problems in the past, it's possible to create custom rural fencing solutions from a range of materials including aluminium, timber, chain mesh, and steel.


It's important to consider the properties of each type of fencing before deciding what's right for your farm or land.

 

  • Wooden fencing is one of the most popular types of rural fencing and with proper care, it can last upwards of 20 years. Wooden fences are ideal for small enclosures and pastures.
  • Metal T-post fencing is available in a range of sizes up to 8 feet high and is easy to move and install, making this option ideal for short-term or temporary enclosures.
  • Barbed wire fences are often seen in rural areas and are particularly popular for enclosing large, docile animals like cattle.
  • Welded wire fences can secure small or passive animals within a mesh wire fence. Welded wire fences maybe ideal for small chicken enclosures in farms and gardens.
