Title: Just checking re - fencing
Post by: shygirl on May 13, 2014, 08:32:06 pm

my field goes around my neighbours garden like a horseshoe. i own the fence (standard stock fence) but i need to raise the height so the jumping goats can use it as required.
i was just wanting to check that there is no reason why i cant raise the height to 6ft.??
does it matter if the fence includes electric on a residential boundary?

I don,t think there is any reason why you can't raise your fence height, or include an electric top wire.    There are some  areas where there may be height limits but these are usually over 2 metres. If you include electric remember to place the little yellow warning signs at the regulation distance (can't remember what the distance is).
