Over 2km of Stock Fencing Installed in Devon: A Rural Fencing Project Completed by DTG

At DTG Trees & Grounds, we work on a wide variety of fencing projects across Devon, from commercial boundary installations to agricultural fencing in some of the county’s most scenic rural locations.

One of our recent projects saw the team successfully install over 2 kilometres of stock fencing complete with barbed wire, alongside the installation of two brand-new gateways for a valued client.

Set against the stunning Devon countryside and coastline, this project was a great example of the type of large-scale rural fencing work our team regularly undertakes.

Protecting Land, Livestock and Boundaries

Stock fencing remains one of the most effective and reliable fencing solutions for agricultural landowners and rural properties.

Designed to create secure boundaries while allowing visibility across fields and grazing land, stock fencing plays an important role in managing livestock, protecting property and maintaining land ownership boundaries.

For this particular project, the client required a robust fencing solution that would provide long-term durability while blending naturally into the surrounding landscape.

The specification included:

• Over 2 kilometres of stock fencing
• Barbed wire installation for additional security
• Two new access gateways
• Strong timber posts and straining assemblies
• Careful installation across varying terrain

The result was a secure, professional fencing system designed to stand the test of time.

Working Across Challenging Rural Terrain

Rural fencing projects often involve much more than simply installing posts and wire.

Natural ground levels, changing landscapes, access restrictions and existing vegetation all need to be taken into account during planning and installation.

Throughout this project, the team worked across open countryside with varying levels and exposed conditions. Careful setting out was essential to ensure consistent fence lines and a professional finish from start to completion.

Attention to detail at this stage helps maximise the lifespan of the fence while ensuring it performs exactly as intended.

The Importance of Quality Agricultural Fencing

Agricultural fencing is an investment, and choosing the right materials and installation team can make a significant difference over the long term.

A properly installed stock fence helps:

• Secure livestock safely within fields
• Protect crops and grazing areas
• Clearly define property boundaries
• Improve land management
• Reduce ongoing maintenance requirements

Poorly installed fencing can quickly become vulnerable to movement, weather damage and premature wear. Taking the time to install it correctly from the outset saves both time and money in the future.

Installing Two New Gateways

As part of the project, the team also installed two new gateways to provide secure and practical access across the site.

Gateways are often one of the most heavily used elements of any agricultural fencing system. Whether they are used by livestock, farm vehicles or landowners, they need to be strong, reliable and positioned correctly.

The new gateways were carefully integrated into the fencing layout, providing easy access while maintaining the security and functionality of the overall boundary.

Devon has a rich agricultural heritage, and many of the landscapes we enjoy today rely on effective land management and boundary systems.

A Team Effort from Start to Finish

Projects of this scale are only possible through careful planning, hard work and collaboration.

This fencing installation was a fantastic effort from the team, supported by our trusted supply chain partners who helped ensure materials and equipment were available when needed.

From the first post being installed to the final gateway being hung, the project ran smoothly and was completed to the high standards we expect on every job.

Most importantly, the client was delighted with the finished result.
