A paddock needs a boundary that holds, divisions that let you rotate grazing, and gates in the right places. Across the bridge into the South West — Bristol, Somerset and the Forest of Dean side — there is plenty of equestrian and smallholding work, and for the right job Ben travels for it.
Across the South West, BP Contracting takes on paddock fencing as rural and agricultural work on the kind of runs that justify the trip. Across the bridge into the South West — Bristol, Somerset and the Forest of Dean side — there is plenty of equestrian and smallholding work, and for the right job Ben travels for it.
The South West — over the Severn into Gloucestershire, Somerset and the Bristol fringe — is rich equestrian and smallholding country, with a lot of horse paddocks, liveries and hobby farms wanting safe post and rail, paddock divisions and ménage work. The Prince of Wales Bridge puts a good slice of it within practical reach of Bridgend, so for the right job the travel makes sense.
Ben fences and divides paddocks for horses and livestock — post and rail with horse-safe wire for the horse fields, stock netting for sheep and cattle, and well-placed field gates so you can move animals and machinery without a fight. Cross-fencing a larger field into rotation paddocks is straightforward to plan in, and pays for itself in better grazing.
The boundary materials are matched to the stock: horses get the visible, knock-proof post and rail and smooth wire; cattle and sheep get strained stock netting on braced strainers. Gateways are sited where they actually work for leading, mucking out and getting a tractor in, not just where the old gate happened to be.
Whether it is a single turnout paddock at home or several rotation paddocks on a yard, the job is built to hold stock safely and stand up to daily use through the seasons.
Whether your paddock fencing job in the South West 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 — cross-fencing a larger field into smaller rotation paddocks is a common job and a sound one, letting you rest and rotate grazing. Ben plans the divisions, the gateways and the water access points so the layout actually works day to day.
Post and rail backed by horse-safe stock wire is the standard — a visible barrier the horse respects with no gap to get a leg through. For sheep or cattle paddocks, strained stock netting is the economical, hard-wearing choice. Ben matches the fence to the stock.
Gateways are best sited for how you actually use the paddock — leading horses in and out, getting a tractor or quad through, and away from boggy corners and busy fence junctions. Ben sites them on the visit for practical daily use, not just where the old one was.
For the right job, yes — Gloucestershire, Somerset and the Bristol fringe are within practical reach over the Prince of Wales Bridge, and there is plenty of equestrian and smallholding work there that suits BP. Tell Ben the location and the job and he will confirm whether he can travel for it.
