Hiya,
I've got to fix some fencing in order to bring one of my fields into the sheep grazing rotation. Most of it is fine, but there's a stream that runs through the side of the field that needs taking care of. I need to keep the sheep from wandering out of the field, but I'm concerned about a blockage picking up sticks and the like.
The stream is sunken down below the rest of the field level. So as it stands the stock fencing just runs across the stream, suspended about a meter above the bed (& the water level is never more than a few inches). A git like this:
####################### <-- fence
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ\ /ŻŻŻŻŻŻ <--field
\~~/ <- stream
I've tried reading a bit about this online, but some guidance from anyone with experience of this sort of thing would be very helpful and gratefully received.
