North Devon is farming and equestrian country, and we build fencing to match — post-and-rail, stock fencing and field gates for paddocks and farms around Fremington, Braunton and South Molton, alongside garden boundaries in Pilton and Newport.
Around Barnstaple, the majority of fencing we do is rural: long field boundaries, paddock fencing for horses, and stock fencing for cattle and sheep across the working farms and smallholdings of North Devon. The land stretches from the Taw estuary out to the exposed Atlantic coast, so a boundary near Fremington behaves very differently from one on a high, wind-blasted field near Braunton.
We also handle plenty of domestic work — garden close-board and panel fencing in Pilton, Newport and across the town — but our strength here is durable, properly braced agricultural and equestrian fencing built to hold stock and last decades.
Post-and-rail fencingis the classic choice for paddocks and equestrian boundaries — safe, visible and strong, with stock netting added where smaller animals need containing.
Stock fencing on stout treated posts, with correct straining and bracing, contains cattle and sheep across the large rural boundaries common around South Molton and Bideford.
We install and hang field gates and bridle gates sized and braced for stock and machinery, plus garden close-board and panel fencing and side gates for homes in and around Barnstaple.
The land facing the Atlantic around Braunton and out toward Woolacombe is some of the most exposed in the county. Salt-laden gales work fences loose and rot untreated timber quickly, so on these high, open boundaries we use fully pressure-treated timber, set straining and corner posts in concrete with drainage, brace them hard, and space line posts closer than you would on a sheltered inland run. Long agricultural fences also need to flex a little under stock pressure without failing, which is why our post choice, rail count and bracing are tailored to each field rather than fixed to one spec.
Garden fencing is priced per panel; agricultural and equestrian fencing is priced per metre and per project. These are 2026 guide figures for the North Devon area; field gates and difficult ground are quoted separately.
| Fence type | Guide price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Garden panel fencing | £80 – £100 per panel | Homes in Pilton & Newport |
| Close-board / feather-edge | £100 – £120 per panel | Stronger garden boundaries |
| Post-and-rail & stock fencing | Quoted per metre | Paddocks & farms, Fremington to South Molton |
| Field & bridle gates | Quoted per project | Sized & braced for stock and machinery |
Agricultural fencing that fails — posts that snap, strainers that pull out, gates that drop — costs far more than it saves when stock gets loose. With over a decade and 200+ projects across Devon and Cornwall, we build farm and equestrian boundaries the way they should be: stout treated timber, properly braced strainers, and gates hung to swing true and stay shut.

Garden fencing in Barnstaple runs from around £80 to £120 per panel supplied and installed in 2026, with close-board at the upper end. Agricultural and equestrian work — post-and-rail, stock fencing and field gates for farms around Fremington and South Molton — is priced per metre and per project because run lengths, ground and livestock requirements vary so much.
For horses we recommend timber post-and-rail, which is safe, visible and strong, often with stock netting added for smaller animals. For cattle and sheep we use stock fencing on stout treated posts with proper straining and bracing. Around Braunton, Bideford and the wider North Devon farms we match post spacing, rail count and gates to the animals the boundary has to hold.
For agricultural and equestrian fencing we usually use stout pressure-treated timber posts, which suit the rural setting, flex slightly under stock pressure and are easy to repair in a long run. We set straining and corner posts in concrete with drainage and brace them properly. Concrete posts suit some garden and exposed boundaries but are less common for traditional farm fencing.
The Atlantic-facing land around Braunton and Woolacombe is among the most exposed in Devon, with salt-laden gales sweeping in off the coast. There we use fully pressure-treated timber, deeper and closer post spacing, strong bracing and corrosion-resistant fixings so a long field boundary or paddock fence does not work loose or rot out early.
