We stock C8/80/15 50m rolls in a galvanised and green
The 8/80/15 configuration is the most commonly used livestock fence in the UK. It comes in a variety of different wire diameters, knots and in high tensile or mild steel but the 8 line wire, 80cm high with 15cm between the stay wires configuration is ideal for all types of livestock.
8/80/22 Lambsafe -The same basic design as the 8/80/15 but with 22cm between the vertical stay wires, the wider spacing helps prevent sheep from getting their heads trapped in the net.
Both are available in mild steel and high tensile. Torus knot netting available.

Mild Steel Or High Tensile?
Farmers know that effective grassland management requires strong and reliable fencing that will last for decades. Modern fencing solutions use high tensile wire that can be strained tighter than mild steel. There are numerous benefits to using high tensile wire which include:
Does not stretch with weathering, so does not need to be retightened annually
Half as many posts are required
Quicker to erect
Mild steel stock-proof fencing is traditionally used by farmers to contain their livestock. Largely replaced by High Tensile wire, it does, nevertheless, still have its place for some applications.
Lots of curves or turns on the fence line
Mild steel does not need to be strained as tightly as the High Tensile variant and gradual turns can be made off intermediate posts. This is particularly useful if you need to make a lot of turns on your fence.
Where your fencing is supported by background hedges, mild steel fencing from Tornado can make a cost effective barrier that is easy to install.
