Estate Fencing
Estate fencing post and rail systems designed for straightforward self-installation. A popular choice for country estates, farms, parkland, paddocks, and large gardens, our continuous welded estate fencing delivers exceptional strength, security, and longevity.
Manufactured in our UK workshop and delivered nationwide, our supply-only estate fencing includes everything required for a complete installation. Ideal for farmers, landowners, fencing contractors, and skilled DIY installers, this cost-effective solution reduces labour expenses while enhancing the value and appearance of your property.
Our estate fencing posts can be driven into the ground or set in concrete, with rails threaded through and welded for a strong, seamless finish. Supplied unpainted, the steel develops a natural patina over time without compromising durability, making it a low-maintenance and traditional fencing option for rural and agricultural settings.
- We guarantee the structure of our estate fencing for 60 years (not including accident or damage).
- Estate fencing for use with heavy stock without the need for electrification or backstays.
- Fully welded construction, not clip together.
- Generous steel section sizes
- Installed to a minimum depth of 800mm
- We may be able to recommend fencing contractors in your area.

Claw Feet
Ideal for areas with services.
When we install, I always take half a dozen or so claw feet with me. I was often in situations where my customers had an idea of where underground services ran (water, power, gas, telecoms) but could not be 100 percent.
Simply cut your fence post down and weld to the claw foot and install over area with services. Claw goes into the ground 400mm.
They are not as stable as a fence post driven in 800mm but fence lines will support a few of these without compromising the overall rigidity. Can be tapped in gently with a hammer or post driver.
£15 + VAT EACH
Horizontal Rails:
Our fencing uses 20mm Solid Round Bar, 25x8mm Solid Flat bar and 16mm Solid Round Bar.
In order to offer customers the complete package we can supply 20mm round bar, 25x8mm flat bar and 16mm round bar in 6 metre lengths. As delivery for small quantities of these items could be expensive it may be preferable for the customer to order these direct from their local Steel stock holder.
We also offer a rolling service which will be essential for those wishing to erect fencing with tight curves. Please provide us with your radius (R) over distance (D) and we can pre-roll your round and flat bar for easy installation. £. Prices for all on application

Estate Fencing Installation Tools
Please return these tools to us after your installation. We refund the purchase price – IN FULL – the same day!
Post Driver: Our 25kg two-man post driver provides enough weight to drive posts through almost anything. Furthermore, these are designed to exactly fit either the flat or feature top posts we supply. Please watch the video above for a demonstration of how to use the post driver.
£100 + vat.
Post Straightener: From time to time you will hit obstacles in the ground and posts will be far from upright. The Post Straightener slips over the post and bends posts at the ground level into a upright position. A must if installing into stony ground.
£75 + vat.
Steel Pins are used for pegging out the fence line (in 20mm bar as shown) prior to installing the posts. This facilitates the formation of gentle curves and flowing fence lines. These are available to buy in sets of 12 (price refundable on return). Pins are 48cm long, made from 12mm round bar.
£20 +vat per dozen
Estate Fencing Styles
As standard we produce five types of metal post and rail estate fencing.
All five stand 1.2m tall (approx) above ground. The posts are spaced at 1 metre apart and all have five traditionally spaced rails; a smaller gap at the bottom with each spacing becoming greater as they rise up the fence.
We publish our specification and section sizes because we are proud to produce a product that is built to last.
Style 1
50 x 12mm thick posts with five 20mm solid round rails running through them. The strongest of the 5 rail fences.
Style 2
