So the nights have quickly closed in on us and once when we could head out and check the horses and stock after dinner without a torch has changed over night to bashed shins and foreheads.... Now not everyone is lucky enough to have power in the stables if you don't never fear this wandlite will suit you.

How many times have you walked into the stables and realised you forgot the torch or that your batteries have run out? If you are like me the answer is the answer to TOO MANY times

Our electric fences are used nation and worldwide to help all sorts of land-users get the best out of their land and to protect animals.

Here are some other great tips we have come across throughout the years to help with netting maintenance.

Using DPC

Use DPC underneath the bottom of the netting to help with the grass shorting the netting. This can be bought in most DIY stores nationwide. See the picture below for it in action.
