Points to consider
High Tensile Sheep Fencing
Farmers know that effective grassland management requires strong and reliable fencing that will last for decades. Modern fencing solutions use high tensile wire that can be strained tighter than mild steel. There are numerous benefits to using high tensile wire which include:
Low maintenance stock fencing
Tornado Torus stock fencing is strained tight and stays tight, meaning minimal maintenance is required.
- Does not Stretch with weathering, so does not need to be retightened annually
- Quicker to erect
Is High Tensile Sheep fencing difficult to erect?
Whilst High Tensile fencing does require a different technique to erect than mild steel, it is no more difficult. Most farms have access to a post driver that can easily drive in strainers to the required depth. Bending high tensile wires and tying off is simple when using the correct technique.
Low Maintenance
Tornado High Tensile Fencing stays tight and does not stretch like mild steel, leaving you with one less job on your list!
Is High Tensile Fencing Expensive?
High Tensile mesh rolls may be more expensive to buy, but this is more than compensated for by the reduced numbers of posts and labour required.
Mild Steel Stock Fencing
Mild Steel Fencing
Mild steel stock-proof fencing was traditionally used by farmers to contain their livestock. Mild Steel has largely been replaced by High Tensile wire, although some installers still use it for some applications.
Curves or Turns on the fence line
Mild steel does not need to be strained as tightly as the High Tensile fences so gradual turns can be made off intermediate posts. This is particularly useful if you need to make a lot of turns on your fence.
Background Hedges
Where your fencing is supported by background hedges, mild steel fencing from Tornado can make a cost effective barrier that is easy to install.
