Set within the beautiful countryside near Bath, this project involved the fabrication and installation of our traditional Burghley Estate Fencing, combining classic rural styling with strength, durability and practicality.

Our team managed the project from start to finish, with the traditional estate fencing carefully fabricated in-house at our workshop before being delivered loose to site for installation.

Delivering the fencing in this way allowed our installation team to work with the natural contours of the land, following the curves and changes in direction of the boundary rather than forcing a straight-line installation. This ensured the finished fence followed the existing fence line neatly, creating a seamless and well-defined boundary that worked with the landscape.

By combining our in-house fabrication expertise with skilled on-site installation, we were able to achieve a tailored finish that complemented the surrounding countryside while providing a strong, practical and durable fencing solution.

Rutland end posts were incorporated to provide a strong, clean finish, complementing the traditional estate fencing design. Once installed, the steelwork was left to weather naturally, allowing a rustic patina to develop over time and blend beautifully into the surrounding countryside.

As well as creating a smart and well-defined boundary, the fencing needed to serve a practical purpose. We incorporated specially designed steel fencing arms to carry an electric cable along the fence line, providing an additional deterrent to help keep cattle safely contained.

Steel arms offer excellent strength and rigidity, providing reliable support for the electric cable and making them particularly well suited to the demands of a working agricultural environment.

Compared to lighter alternatives, steel offers a more substantial and long-lasting solution, helping to maintain the cable’s position while complementing the strength and traditional appearance of the estate fencing.

This additional feature ensures the boundary is not only visually appealing but also highly functional, combining traditional estate fencing with a practical solution for effective livestock management.

The finished installation delivers a strong and attractive boundary, combining the traditional character of estate fencing with the practical requirements of a working rural environment.

From bespoke workshop fabrication through to careful on-site installation, the project demonstrates our ability to deliver quality fencing solutions tailored to the landscape, with durability, functionality and attention to detail at the forefront.
