The fencer has been really busy and has completed the diet paddock and most of the outside fence, he is also working on the middle fence line and the planter boxes.
It all looks great on paper when you plan it, and then when you walk the land to measure it it’s ok too, but then when it actually goes up, it seems to be bigger than you thought!
We will be putting some electric fencing down the middle of the two main paddocks so effectively we will have 4 paddocks plus the diet paddock which is at the top left of the picture.
We went for half round posts two metres apart, two wires and a 150mm board on top to create a visual line for the horses. All up around 290 metres of fences including the two planter boxes and four gates worked out to around $27.50 a metre.
Sooooo what are you going to do with all the rest of the land? What’s on the other side of the driveway? And how big are those two paddocks?
Hi Kelly, the two big paddocks are an 80 metre square cut in half. the other side of the driveway is about 5 metres wide and will be good for running labradors or three legged poodles, the rest of the land will have a shed, some jumps, a house, trees, maybe a dressage arena…. We think we will put some beefies on the front paddocks and maybe some pigs as well. Also need a greenhouse somewhere for growing chillis!
just want to point out how much Allie NEEDSSSSSSS the diet paddock!!!
