Arena and Paddock Fencing and Access
Creating safe and secure spaces for horses in paddocks and arenas is crucial. At Sussex Equine Arenas, we offer a range of fencing options to meet your needs, including post and rail fencing, cleft chestnut fencing, post and wire equestrian fencing and permanent electric fencing. Each type provides durability and functionality, ensuring the safety and security of your horses.
Fencing
1. Post and Rail Fencing
A classic choice, post and rail fencing provides a sturdy boundary for paddocks and arenas. It consists of horizontal rails attached to vertical posts and can be customized with different rail configurations to meet your specific needs. This type of fencing combines durability with a traditional aesthetic, ensuring a secure environment for your horses.
2. Cleft Chestnut Fencing
This traditional fencing style uses split chestnut wood, known for its durability and rustic charm. Cleft chestnut fencing blends seamlessly with natural surroundings, offering a robust and aesthetically pleasing boundary. It's an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a natural look while ensuring the safety and security of their horses.
3. Post and Wire Equestrian Fencing:
A practical choice for paddocks, this fencing combines wooden posts with wire mesh and can be used on its own or with a top rail or tape. With the height advantage and 75mm mesh the one-piece vertical wire remains taut and provides an effective and long-lasting fence. Its sturdy construction ensures a reliable barrier, suitable for various equestrian settings.
4. Permanent Electric Fencing:
Permanent electric fencing is cost-effective and provides good visibility. It is a low-maintenance option that discourages horses from leaning or pushing against it and ideal for maintaining secure boundaries.
Gateways
Gateways and access tracks play a crucial role too in creating functional and efficient equestrian facilities too. Well-designed gateways allow smooth movement of horses, vehicles, and people in and out of paddocks, arenas, and barns. Sturdy and durable gates prevent accidental escapes and ensure the security of horses.
Access Tracks
Access tracks connect different areas within the facility and should be wide enough for vehicles and provide good footing for horses with proper drainage to prevent water accumulation and mud, ensuring year-round usability. Poor access or ground conditions can increase your costs and so we will consider all factors, including site conditions, usage, and budget, to develop the best possible solutions for you.
