After a successful and busy 2025, we’ve returned to installing our traditional steel Estate Fencing. The client contacted the team as they needed a discreet yet effective solution to prevent Muntjac deer from entering the garden, while maintaining the natural appearance of the surrounding landscape. The fence also had to be durable, long-lasting, and in keeping with the rural setting of the property.

The end posts were fabricated at our unit in Leicestershire and the fence was then delivered to the client’s property for installation by our team.

We installed 67 metres of rust-only estate fencing, using 4 end posts and three runs of lambs wire. This specification provides a strong physical barrier against smaller wildlife, without visually enclosing the garden or detracting from its character.

We offer a fully bespoke fencing service, providing a variety of solutions to suit each garden or estate. Options include rabbit netting, lambs wire, and deer fencing, designed both to prevent pets from escaping and to protect the garden from wildlife damage, while maintaining the visual appeal and natural character of the landscape.

The client chose a rust-only finish, which allows the fencing to blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings, harmonising with hedges, trees, and other landscape features. Over time, the steel develops a rich, protective patina that enhances its rustic aesthetic while providing exceptional long-term durability, making it a fencing solution designed to last for decades without compromising on appearance.

The completed installation successfully keeps Muntjac deer out of the garden, while preserving open views and the natural character of the hedging behind. The client now enjoys a robust, long-lasting fencing solution with an expected lifespan of up to 60 years, combining strength and durability with a visually appealing, natural finish that complements the surrounding landscape and enhances the overall aesthetic of the property.
