A Complete Approach to Fox Control

While fox proof fencing is a robust solution, we also understand the importance of a holistic approach to fox control. This includes employing other methods, such as electric fencing, especially in larger areas or for livestock like poultry, rabbits and other animals. We also recommend regular maintenance to check for any weak points or holes that might be exploited by foxes. A total approach to fox control is the best way to deter foxes and prevent fox attacks.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation of fox proof fencing requires precision and experience. Our team ensures that every fence is properly installed, with safety precautions taken to avoid any injury to your pets or wildlife. We also provide guidance on how to maintain your fencing, ensuring long-term effectiveness and durability.

Key Features of Fox Fencing

Our fox proof fencing is engineered to provide a robust barrier against even the most cunning predators. We use only high-quality mesh fencing, selected for its durability and tight-knit weave that prevents foxes from squeezing through. Key features include:

  • Strong mesh fencing: Made from high-tensile wire that resists cutting, chewing, and weather damage.
  • Sturdy fence posts: Options include long-lasting timber fence posts and metal posts, ensuring your fence stands firm for years to come.
  • Ground skirts to prevent digging: We install the mesh deep into the ground, or in a trench, to effectively deter foxes from digging under.
  • Outward-facing overhangs: These prevent foxes from climbing or jumping over, making your fence more secure.
  • Custom construction: Whether you need fencing for large open fields, smaller pens, chicken runs, or chicken coops, our solutions are tailored to your specific area and requirements.
  • Long-lasting materials: Our fences are built to withstand the elements and protect your perimeter for decades.

Our Fox Proof Fencing Installation Process

At County Fencing, we pride ourselves on delivering a thorough and professional installation process that ensures your fencing is fit for purpose:

  1. Site assessment – We begin by visiting your property to identify potential fox entry points, weak spots along your perimeter, and areas where foxes may attempt to dig or climb.
  2. Material selection – We help you choose the most suitable mesh fencing, posts, and accessories based on your site conditions and the level of protection required.
  3. Marking the perimeter – Our team marks out the exact area to be fenced, ensuring we create a continuous, secure boundary.
  4. Post installation – Strong fence posts, whether timber ones or metal, are carefully positioned and secured to provide maximum stability.
  5. Attaching the mesh fencing – The wire mesh is securely attached to the posts, with the bottom section buried or trenched to prevent digging.
  6. Constructing overhangs and gates – Where necessary, we add outward-facing overhangs and fit robust gates that align with the fence’s security standard.
  7. Final checks – We inspect the entire fence to ensure there are no gaps or weak points and provide advice on maintenance to keep your fence effective for the long term.

Fox Fencing FAQS

Can a fox get through a fence?

Without the right fencing, yes. However, our fox proof fencing with tight-knit wire mesh leaves no room for these crafty creatures to squeeze through.

Can foxes jump 6-foot fences?

Foxes can jump high, but our fences, equipped with outward facing overhangs, are designed to prevent jumping and climbing, making a 6-foot fence highly effective.

How do I stop foxes from digging under my fence?

Our fencing installations include burying the mesh into the ground and using trenches to deter digging.

What is the best fencing to keep foxes out?

When it comes to selecting the best fencing to effectively keep foxes out, the answer is clear: a robust fox proof fence with high-quality wire mesh. This type of fencing is specifically designed to counter the clever tactics of foxes. The wire mesh plays a crucial role, ensuring there are no gaps or weak points through which a fox could gain access.

How high does a fence need to be to keep foxes out?

As for the question of fence height, experience and research have shown that to effectively prevent foxes from jumping over, a fence should be at least 6 feet tall. However, height alone isn’t enough for comprehensive fox proofing. The inclusion of an outward facing overhang at the top of the fence can prevent foxes from scaling over, regardless of their ability to jump high
