Pest Fencing Services
These can range from
fencing to exclude rabbits from areas of planting to fencing to attenuate
noise from railways and tramlines.
Many pest problems can be
managed by erecting barriers to exclude them or contain them.
Canada Geese nuisances can
be reduced by controlling their access to open water.
Deer related road accidents
can be reduced by guiding them towards safer crossing points. Deer can be
kept in or out with perimeter fencing
Rabbit damage to ornamental
planting, specimen trees and shrubs can be reduced by erecting low-level
fencing.
Public access to controlled
areas, noise from machinery and railway lines, litter from refuse transfer
stations, all can be reduced using our fencing solutions.
The fencing itself can
contribute to the environment. There is no reason why a fence shouldn’t be
both architecturally interesting and blend into the local environment.
The posts in the fence
illustrated incorporate nesting boxes for Tits and Robins under the cap
plates. Since they are steel, this makes the nests predator proof!
The fences are made in our
workshops and tailored to suit the problem and the site.
Simply, the
gap in the fence is flared like a funnel so that any deer crossing the road
will be directed towards the gap. The fence is clear of potential cover
throughout it’s length, except at the point where the crossing is. This
discourages deer from attempting to jump the fence, or cross the road away
from the gap, and encourages them to cross quickly in a straight line at the
gap.
"S "
is the
stopping distance of a vehicle. This is composed of the thinking distance
and breaking distance. These both depend on the speed at which vehicle is
travelling and the type of vehicle. This should be set at the stopping
distance for a lorry driving at the speed limit in wet weather. Deer
warning signs should be positioned well before the region of road with the
crossing.
Driving at night tips:
Slow down and prepare to stop as soon as you
see a deer, the slower you are going, the better your options.
When you see one deer, be aware that there are likely to be others nearby. Deer
travel in small groups and others may suddenly cross the road to join the one
you can see.
Be extra careful in the hours around dawn and dusk. Deer often move about at
these times in search of cover and food and lie up during the day.
