Agricultural Fencing and Gates
Whether it's protecting crops from wildlife, keeping livestock safely contained or securing the boundaries of your land, sturdy agricultural fencing and gates are an important investment.
No two farms or rural properties are the same, and choosing the right fencing depends on the animals involved, the layout of the land, access requirements and your budget. Trentwood Fencing supplies and installs a wide range of agricultural fencing and gates for farmers, landowners and rural properties throughout Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties.
Choosing the Right Agricultural Fencing
Agricultural fencing needs to provide a durable, practical boundary that suits the land and its intended use. Livestock welfare, ground conditions and long-term maintenance are all important considerations, particularly for larger installations.
We offer a range of fencing solutions to suit different agricultural requirements:
- Stock fencing: Galvanised wire fencing commonly used for livestock enclosures, paddocks and field boundaries.
- Post and rail fencing: Traditional timber fencing that provides an attractive, durable boundary for paddocks, rural properties and agricultural land.
- Post and rail with stock netting: Combines the appearance of timber fencing with additional wire mesh to help contain animals.
- Deer fencing: Specialist fencing designed to keep deer within designated areas or prevent them accessing crops and land.
- Equestrian fencing: Fencing solutions for horse paddocks, livery yards and riding facilities.
- Agricultural gates: Timber and galvanised steel field gates providing practical access between fields, paddocks and farm entrances.
Our team can advise on the most suitable materials and specifications for your property, whether you need to enclose a small paddock or secure a substantial area of agricultural land.
Land Boundaries, Paddocks and Livestock Fencing
Fencing off your land helps keep livestock safe, clearly defines property boundaries and discourages accidental trespassing. Choosing the right system is particularly important where animals are involved, as different species place different demands on a fence.
Post and rail fencing remains a popular choice for agricultural and rural properties thanks to its traditional countryside appearance and durability. Available in different timber styles, it provides a practical boundary without significantly obscuring views of the surrounding landscape. Where additional containment is required, stock netting or wire mesh can be incorporated.
Galvanised wire stock fencing is widely used for livestock enclosures and larger field boundaries. It can be installed with timber posts or alongside post and rail fencing, with the height and wire specification selected to suit the animals being contained.
Horses, for example, require fencing that minimises the risk of injury, while deer may need taller specialist fencing to prevent them jumping over the boundary. The size of the enclosure and potential pressure on the fence will also influence the most appropriate solution.
Agricultural and Field Gates
Good access is essential for the day-to-day management of agricultural land, whether you're moving livestock between fields, accessing paddocks or bringing machinery onto the property.
Trentwood supplies and installs a range of timber and galvanised steel field gates to complement the surrounding fencing. The most suitable option will depend on the width of the entrance, how frequently it is used and the type of access required.
We can incorporate suitable gates into new or existing agricultural boundaries, helping ensure access is practical without compromising the surrounding fencing.
Examples of Our Agricultural Fencing Installations
Trentwood Fencing has completed a variety of agricultural fencing and gate projects for farms, landowners and rural properties across Oxfordshire and neighbouring areas.
Post and Rail Fencing with Stock Netting, Charney Bassett
For a customer in Charney Bassett, near Wantage, we installed 150 metres of round UC4 timber posts and half-round rail fencing around a large paddock.
The installation also included C8/80/15 stock netting, a common agricultural mesh specification suitable for sheep, pigs and other livestock. The UC4-treated timber provides additional protection against decay where posts remain in contact with the ground, helping deliver a durable boundary suited to the paddock.
Agricultural Fencing and Field Gates, Ickford
At a business property in Ickford, near Thame, Trentwood installed an extensive agricultural fencing and gate system.
The project combined traditional post and rail fencing with galvanised field gates, creating a smart, practical boundary that improved security and controlled access to the premises while maintaining an appearance appropriate to its rural surroundings.
Stock Fencing for Livestock, Oxford
Trentwood installed stock fencing for an Oxford customer with agricultural livestock, using high-tensile wire and UC4-treated timber posts.
A specialist tracked post knocker was used during installation to position the posts while minimising disturbance to the surrounding ground. This approach helped deliver a suitable fencing installation while taking account of the practical challenges of working on agricultural land.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does agricultural fencing cost?
The cost depends on the type of fencing, materials, boundary length, ground conditions and whether gates are required. Larger installations may also involve additional considerations such as access and terrain. Contact us for a quotation based on your site.
What type of fencing is best for livestock?
This depends on the animals being contained. Stock fencing is widely used for sheep and other livestock, while horses and deer have different requirements. We'll help you choose a fencing system appropriate for your animals and land.
Can agricultural fencing be installed on uneven or sloping ground?
Yes. Agricultural fencing can be installed across many types of terrain, although the ground conditions may influence the materials and installation method. We can assess the site before recommending an approach.
Can you install new gates with existing agricultural fencing?
Yes, subject to the condition and suitability of the existing fence and supporting posts. We can advise whether a new gate can be incorporated or whether part of the boundary needs modifying.
