Paddock fencing

A paddock needs a boundary that holds, divisions that let you rotate grazing, and gates in the right places. Ben builds it across South Wales and travels for the right job.

Paddock fencing done properly

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.

Paddock fencing questions, answered

Can you divide a field into rotation paddocks?

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.

What fencing is best for a horse paddock?

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.

Where should paddock gates go?

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.
