Common Applications
Badger Exclusion / Road and Rail / Embankment
R15/158/5 comes with pre-stripped ends for ease of joining. It is ideal for use along highways or areas where badger movements need to be restricted. The solid, closely spaced vertical stay wires add strength and help prevent badgers from pushing through the fence. It can also be used as embankment netting.
R15/158/5 exceeds Highways Agency specifications H46 and H47, it features a solid vertical wire commonly referred to as “stiff-stay” and the unobtrusive high pressure bonded Torus knot which does not have any sharp edges.
High tensile wire strains tighter than mild steel and so requires fewer intermediate posts, making it quicker to erect. The spring like properties of a high tensile wire help the netting stay tight, keeping maintenance to a minimum.
The bottom 600mm can be buried and turned out to prevent badgers digging below the fence, and barbed wire can be added to the top of the fence to prevent climbing when used as a stand-alone badger fence.

Ground Contact
Zinc and zinc aluminium coated agricultural fence service life can be affected significantly when exposed to extremely acidic or saline environments and this factor should be considered when designing your fence installation. For typical service life to be achieved it is recommended that the product must be installed in an atmosphere with corrosively class C1, C2 or C3 (very low/low/medium) in accordance with ISO 9223 and must not come into contact with substances that will accelerate corrosion, including but not limited to fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, salt water and soils of pH lower than 5.5. Particularly at sites with peaty and wet ground conditions it is recommended that you have the soil pH tested prior to designing your installation.
