Hi all,
Yesterday we acquired our very first field - this one is actually ours! We're looking at fencing it properly.
The boundaries are secure Devon banks and hedges with stock fencing around the whole 3.9 acres, but we would like to split it into separate paddocks of about 1.3 acres each.
The idea is to rent it our for equestrian grazing to get some money back from it before we move our flock of sheep up. Consequently, we don't want to use barbed wire! Post and rail seemed like a good idea, with some stock wire along the bottom to stop escaping sheep.
What would people pay for this sort of thing?
I think we're looking at around 1,275ft of fencing in total (though my maths may not be great). I've costed it up very roughly and the materials (plus gates) are coming to around £1600, and that is if we only have a top rail on the posts! Is that about right or too much?
Thanks in advance!
