Did you know? Fieldguard Rubber Mats are grown on trees

At Fieldguard, we pride ourselves on the high quality of the electric fencing products we sell, and the same goes for our rubber mats. Our rubber mats don't exactly grow on trees, but the latex used for their production is tapped from the trees grown on rubber plantations in Kerala, India. We don't just import stock from a supplier's catalogue. Most of the products we offer at Fieldguard have been developed by horse owners for horse owners and are made with...

Fieldguard fencing – helping to keep unwanted visitors out of your garden

Ten days ago, we had a call from a customer whose garden lawn was being damaged by badgers. Being local, we assessed the problem first-hand and helped create a fencing package to deal with the problem. This included three 40mm brown tape strands, R8 insulators, and R36V tensioners. Power would be supplied using a Speedrite S5 energiser. The system also included three R11 gate handles, allowing the fence to be left open during the day for access. A week after installation, badger visits have completely stopped, and our customer is delighted with the result. We can't usually make site visits...

Charlie Sellings

Those of you who met our wonderful and ever cheerful Warehouseman, Charlie Sellings, will be sad to hear that he died suddenly last week. Charlie came to us to work part-time on making up fence orders, but over the years he so loved the job, the responsibility and his van that he voluntarily extended his hours until he was working for us full time. He kept the warehouse smart and well stocked without being asked. Ever cheerful, 100% reliable and just...

Time to renew and repair your electric fencing in time for summer

A well-installed and maintained Fieldguard electric fencing system will last for very many years, but it does need a little tender loving care from time to time – something we tend to forget this while it is working and looking smart. The old saw ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ holds as true even with our tough product. FIELDGUARD ELECTRIC TAPE NO 1 FOR PADDOCKS AND FIELDS SINCE 1984 Fieldguard electric tape is the original electric fencing tape, developed by Fieldguard with our French partners...

Fieldguard electric fencing for horses

Fieldguard electric fencing tape is the original tape, developed by Fieldguard with our French partners – both being horse breeders – in 1984. By its nature, electric fence tape has high electrical resistance and requires large power units. To mitigate this, Fieldguard 40mm electric tape is made with 10 x 0.4mm stainless steel filaments, which is perfect when used with our Defender electric fence energisers. Animals touch the edge, so the filaments of the 40mm tape (excluding white) are bunched along each leading edge, and this has...

Spring is just around the corner

Time to think about fettling your fencing ready for 2018 so that turning out is still safe and angst free. A well installed and maintained Fieldguard fencing system will last for very many years, but it does need a little tender loving care from time to time – something we tend to forget while it is working and looking smart. The old saw ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ holds as true even with our tough product. The first thing to do...

Muddy, wet gateways? Yuk!

With the amount of rain that has fallen during the past three weeks even the freest draining soils have tended to become waterlogged. Hock deep mud that sucks your gum boots off. You might think it too late to do anything about it this year, but we can offer a potential route to instant salvation. Another highly effective solution, particularly in the current sodden conditions, is to lay our stiff plastic mesh (M9) before laying the mats. It acts as a sort of artificial...

POSTSCRIPT to ‘The Diary of a Dog’

As some time has passed since my great scribble project, I am sure you’d like to know the current state of play. Well, first of all, spring still hasn’t arrived, even though British Summer Time has; and even the swallows have returned! The winds have been icier and more cutting than in January, and it is always raining, and if it’s not, then it’s drizzling. Yuk! I feel so healthy and full of beans that it’s spurt or bounce everywhere, and...
