Fencing

How to fence a farm? All good fences start with solid fence posts, and this comes with a number of options; from round fence posts to half round posts, machined or peeled, the choices are endless. Stock fencing, security fencing, or a wire mesh can be used to line the fencing and make a farm fence more sturdy and robust.

Where to buy fence posts? As a prominent stockist of all fencing and timber supplies in Cheshire, here at Chelford Farm Supplies we supply a variety of fencing timber for all purposes. From peeled posts and rails that have a more natural finish with some unevenness in the surface finish, to machined timber which has a perfectly uniformed and smooth surface for excellent consistency along an entire area of fencing. Sawn timber fence posts are an excellent option for the most uniformed appearance and easiest installation, on account of their flat surfaces creating ample area for joining fence together. Octoposts are a new and unique innovation providing an eye-catching fence, with the octagonal machined profile for an interesting and visually appealing fence post.

How long do fence posts last? Depending on the treatment the timber post has received, your fence should last a significant number of years. UC3 treated fencing is ideal for above ground use, able to weather whatever nature throws at it, while UC4 goes a little further to make is suitable for permanent ground contact. HCD Incised treatment is a highway specification of treatment, where small incisions are made along the length of the posts to allow the treatment to penetrate further into the timber, ensuring an even longer-lasting wooden post.
