Types of Fences
We have separated this page into four sections; equifence, electric, post and rail, and domestic. Feel free to browse each page and read what we have to say about each of them, if you need any more information don't hesitate to contact us.
Equifence/Electric Fencing
Equifence is a permanent electric fence system that once installed correctly will give a lifetime fencing solution with virtually no maintenance.
Although we specialise in the design and installation of equifence systems for horses we are also fully experienced in other aspects of permanent electric fence systems. We have solved a wide range of problems by designing specific solutions.
It is a lot more economical than conventional post and rail or other semi permanent electric fences such as tape, rope or wire netting.
Please check out the equifence costings below.

Equifence fitted onto traditional creosote treated timber posts will give you 20 year guaranteed cost effective, safe, durable and attractive fencing.
It can be utilised in all situations either as stand alone fencing or as sub division of existing fencing or as an offset to any existing fence or hedge etc. Equifence is suitable for any application, paddocks, boundaries etc. although equifence is permanent it can be moved from one site to another. Try doing that with post and rail.
Fence-Line have 20 years experience in supplying and fitting specialist electric fence systems designed to last with minimal maintenance.
We would be very happy to offer free advise in the planning and installation of a system designed for your property.
Post and Rail Fencing
We have constructed many miles of all types of fences and gateways, whether it is agricultural stock fences or post and rails. We also do; menage fencing, lunging pens, poultry pens wooden framed buildings, stables, lean to’s - the list is endless.
The Equipment we own can be used in any situation and in all conditions.
For long life Equine fencing, Fence-Line recommends using traditional creosote treated timber, no more chewed rails and timber preservation is improved.
Domestic Fencing
We are fully experienced in the construction of all types of domestic fencing; closeboard, picket, pergolas etc. In the spring of 2009 we built the fence and boardwalk to the BBC Gardeners World garden in Edgbaston. Below are some photographs that I took on completion.
