Farm fencing is a mix of jobs in one: boundaries to mark, stock to hold, gateways to hang, and all of it to take years of weather and use. Mid Wales is hill-farming and sheep country, where stock netting, strained line wire and proper strainer assemblies earn their keep on long, exposed boundaries. For a sizeable run it is well worth the travel.
Across Mid Wales, BP Contracting takes on farm fencing as rural and agricultural work on the kind of runs that justify the trip. Mid Wales is hill-farming and sheep country, where stock netting, strained line wire and proper strainer assemblies earn their keep on long, exposed boundaries. For a sizeable run it is well worth the travel.
Mid Wales is upland sheep country — Powys, Ceredigion and the hill ground in between, where boundaries run long, exposed and over rough terrain, and the weather works at a fence year-round. That is exactly where strainer assemblies, the right netting tension and proper treatments matter most, and where a fence built to a price rather than a spec fails fastest. Tracked-machine access for ground that will not take a vehicle is often part of the job up here.
Ben covers the lot on a holding — stock netting and line wire down the long boundaries, post and rail and gates at the yard and entrances, strainer assemblies braced at every corner and change of direction, and the right treatment on the right post so none of it lets go early. One contractor, one coordinated job, rather than a patchwork of different bits done by different people over the years.
On working land the practical stuff matters: getting materials to where they are needed across wet or steep ground, working around stock, and building so a boundary can be repaired a section at a time rather than failing as a whole. Ben works with tracked-machine access where a vehicle will not go, and builds line that is genuinely maintainable.
Smallholding, livery yard or full farm, the standard is the same — strainers that never move, netting strained tight, gates that swing clean, and a boundary that does its job through a Welsh winter without complaint.
Whether your farm fencing job in Mid Wales is a single boundary or a large run, the approach is the same: Ben surveys it, quotes a fixed itemised price, and builds it to a spec that lasts. Get in touch with the location and a rough idea of the job and he will tell you straight whether he can travel for it.
Yes. The work scales from a few paddocks on a smallholding up to whole-farm boundary runs. The same standards apply either way — proper strainers, the right netting and treatments, and gates hung to last.
Yes. Ben works with tracked-machine access for ground that will not take a wheeled vehicle, which is common on wet or sloping Welsh land. Getting strainers and materials to the line is half the battle on a farm fence, and it is planned into the job.
It varies a lot with the fence type (stock netting vs post and rail), the ground, access, and how many gates and strainer assemblies the run needs. Rather than a misleading per-metre headline, Ben walks the boundary, takes the lengths and gives a fixed, itemised price free — so you know exactly what you are paying for.
For a sizeable run, yes — Mid Wales hill ground is exactly the kind of long, exposed boundary work worth travelling for, and Ben builds it to hold on terrain where a cheap fence does not last. Get in touch with the location and the rough length and he will tell you straight whether it stacks up and arrange a visit.
