Wildlife, Livestock, Agricultural Fencing and gates
If you’d like to start enticing hedghogs into the garden why not think about installing our hedgehog friendly gravel board. 
Just install one Hedgehog Gravel Board on each side of the garden to allow a natural hedgehog pathway.
Before the freeze sets in and while the ground is not bone dry it may be a good idea for farmers and livestock keepers to consider their perimeter fencing, We do a wide range of choice, including among others, XFence® Horse Standard XHT-10-90-7.5 50m; Diamon Brand LHT-190-15 Wire Deer Netting 
XFence® LHT 15-160-75 Lightweight Poultry Wire Fencing 
XFence® XHT 13-120-10 Alpaca, Camelid and Llama Friendly Wire Fencing 
or the XFence® XHT Premier Wire Stock Fence 100m 
Gates are another aspect to consider e.g. 
As the hedgerows die back and gaps in boundaries are enlarged what can enter our gardens and do we want it too?
Did you know that badgers are creatures of habitat and will often use the same set run. 
If a new fence is erected on one of these routes badgers will attempt to either dig under the fence or to break through. The use of a badger gate within the fence line will help the badger move more freely whilst excluding rabbits.
Please be aware access to setts should not be restricted. Finally fencing for the otter is another increasing need but why not take a look at our large range of fencing that should suit everybodies needs.
Summer in the Garden
Well, we at Jarrett Fencing are well rested after three bank holidays and now summer appears to be here and it is time to ensure our gardens are tidy, to introduce colour and to ensure our garden privacy.
Are your gate/s fencing secure, do they look good, or are you hesitant about the dodgy fence post, will the gate fall off of its hinges nest time it slams, is the catch no longer holding properly?
Why not take a look at our great choice in fencing and gates, be it wooden or metal, particularly our most popular style of Tulip palisade that is on Special Offer throughout June.
Did you know that we can also offer sheds, cabins and summerhouses in many styles, as well as screening for wheelie bins, water butts and the like? We also supply garden features such as our sturdy good-looking wooden planters, for raised gardening or positioning on the patio and, or deck. See our exciting garden bridge and of course our very popular garden mirrors and mirror screen.
Finally take a look at our preservative treatments to maintain the appearance and life of your wooden fences and sheds.

Guide to installing closeboard fencing
Traditional closeboard bay fencing is built in-situ and is very strong. It is especially good for gardens with sloping ground because the fence can be erected to follow the ground contours, which means fence stepping is not needed.
The mortised posts and the gravel boards can be either timber or concrete. Traditional closeboard bay fencing with concrete mortised posts and concrete gravel boards is the strongest of domestic garden fences.
Step 1: Fixing the posts
All posts should be concreted 2ft deep in the ground using post mix, with the mortised holes in line with the boundary line.
Step 2: Fixing the arris rails
The posts have mortised holes to allow shaped arris rails to fit inside of posts.
Step 3: Fixing the gravel boards
For timber posts and gravel boards measure from the top of the post down 1.65 metres and nail the timber gravel board cleats in the centre of each post. Cut the length of the gravel board to fit between the posts and nail to the cleats.
For concrete posts and gravel boards use the 2-pin cleat kit. The cleats have two prongs on one side, which slide into the pre-drilled holes in the concrete posts, and a pre-drilled hole in the other side through which it is bolted to the concrete gravel board. The concrete gravel boards have short slots at either end to allow the bolt to pass through.
Step 4: Fixing the centre stump
For timber posts and gravel boards dig an 8-inch deep hole in the centre of the fence bay and insert the centre stump with the angled top facing up to fit under the bottom arris rail. Back fill earth around the stump and nail the timber gravel board to the stump.
For concrete posts and gravel boards dig a 8-inch deep hole in the centre the of fence bay, in line with the pre-drilled hole in the concrete gravel board, and insert the centre stump with the angled top facing up to fit under the bottom arris rail. Back fill earth around the stump and bolt the concrete gravel board to the stump through the pre-drilled hole.
Step 5: Fixing the featheredge boards
Starting from the left of the fence bay sit the first featheredge board on top of the gravel board, with the fat edge towards the post, and nail it to the arris rails. Take the second board, overlap it by one inch on the first board – again with the fat edge towards the post – and nail it to the arris rails. Repeat until the bay is complete, always with the fat edge towards the post and the thin edge overlapping by one inch.
Guide to installing panel fencing
A step-by-step guide to installing panel fencing on timber or concrete posts.
Tools Required
- String line
- Spirit level
- Hammer
- Grafter or spade
- Shovel holer
- Tape measure
- Saw
Fixings Required
- Panel clips
- 40mm galvanised nails
Step 1
Ensure the area is clear from obstructions such as old fence posts, bushes, or anything that may interfere with the new fence line.
Step 2
Check all underground services. The area must be clear of pipes and cables for at least two feet underground. Erect the string line to mark the fence boundary.
Step 3
Select your concrete or timber post.
Step 4
Dig a two foot deep hole and insert post.
Step 5
Ensure that the post is the correct height for the fence, allowing for gravel boards if used. Use a spirit level to make sure the post is upright. Put ‘Rapid Set Post Kwik’ into the hole, add the correct amount of water and mix.
Step 6
Concrete slotted posts do not require panel clips. For wooden posts attach the panel clips to the posts and then fix the panels to the clips. Keep a spirit level on top of the panel to make sure the fence remains level on top.
Step 7
Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until all your panels are installed. The last panel may need to be reduced in width to finish off the gap. This can be done with a handsaw.
