This lightweight wire stock fencing is ideal for creating secure boundaries for various needs, including dog proofing, garden edges, and small livestock enclosures. Its hot-dipped mild steel construction ensures durability and longevity, offering a cost-effective and reliable fencing solution. While easy to install, proper tensioning is crucial to maintain its effectiveness over time, as over-tightening can compromise the spring kinks.

The spring kinks are designed to allow the wire to expand and contract naturally with changes in temperature. They also provide flexibility, making installation easier and absorbing some impact.
For garden use, 50mm diameter round posts can suffice. For more robust applications like livestock enclosures or longer runs, 75mm diameter round posts are recommended for greater strength and longevity. Strainer posts at intervals are essential.
While suitable for general livestock, for horses, it's advisable to use this fencing in conjunction with other deterrents or as a boundary marker, as horses can be more prone to leaning on or damaging standard wire fences. Consider adding electric tape or wire for better containment.
The hot-dipped galvanisation, especially when compliant with BS EN 10244-2 Class A standards, provides excellent corrosion resistance and is designed for long-term outdoor use, typically lasting many years depending on environmental conditions.
The '15' refers to the 15cm gap between each vertical wire. All stock fences from this range feature this consistent spacing.
You will need a hammer or staple gun to fix the 'U' shaped fencing staples to the posts. A tension bar can be helpful for pulling the wire taut, but it's not strictly essential for lighter applications.
The fence may be over-tensioned, causing the spring kinks to stretch. Loosen the tension slightly to allow the kinks to regain their shape. Ensure strainer posts are adequately supported.
Ensure you are using appropriate 'U' shaped fencing staples and that they are driven firmly into the posts. Check post condition for rot or weakness.
While hot-dipped galvanisation provides excellent protection, minor rust spots can sometimes occur. These are usually superficial and do not compromise the fence's structural integrity. Ensure the galvanisation is intact; if large areas are peeling, contact the supplier.
Ensure the roll is stable and not catching. Try rotating the roll slightly or repositioning the starting post. Do not unroll the entire length at once; work section by section.
