Barbed Wire and the law
In article
, RJS writes Pyracantha is a good point. I think tho' that a few, helpful contributors are forgetting that this fence is being inserted into an existing Beech hedge that is 12' high and about 8' deep on the woodland side. Richard What about laying the hedge? I.e. Cutting half through some long bits and bending and weaving them into the existing structure? -- Janet Tweedy |

Not without sap you wont and a professional shouldn't touch it at this end of the year. |

In article , says... So is there a faster way to regenerate a mature beech hedge than about 16 years of laborious cutting back? *Long established beech will respond to brutal treatment. Get a chainsaw and reduce it to a foot tall; giving you good access to install the fencing and give the root area a good mulch with old manure. *The regrowth will be dense to the bottom and regular trimming to the correct shape will keep it that way. If you install your fence close to the stumps, eventually it will be completely concealed within the new hedge growth. As the hedge regrows, to keep it dense at the bottom, the bottom needs light. So the sides should be wider at the base and narrower at the top. * *Janet Hello Janet. Thanks for that. Two questions: the fence will be on the due south side of the hedge. Would the hedge survive at a height of 1' when shaded by an adjacent fence of 5 or 6' such that the hedge (stumps?) receive no sun before midday? Also, in addition to the shading problem, would a beech hedge that currently has no side growth below about 2' recover from being cut down to below this height? TIA Richard |

*? I thought you were planning a wire mesh fence; they don't cast appreciable shade. I wouldn't recommend erecting any *full-barrier wooden fence close to a beech hedge. They are likely to damage each other. * *Janet. Hi Janet Yes, sorry. I was going to erect a mesh dog-barrier of, say, 4' in height and then increase the height by, originally, barbed-wire to make it person proof as well. The barbed-wire is now doubtful after all the legal mutterings. I suppose that I could, and I guess that this is what you may have imagined, cut the 'outside' of the hedge back to the trunks at whatever height is needed and install a chainlink fence close to the trunks. Is that what you imagined? Whatever I erect must maintain security. Having managed to scratch a cornea while preparing the ground along the outside of the hedge on Thursday - despite safety goggles - I've rather lost interest and have asked a fencing contractor to visit next week to see what they can suggest.

, RJS writes The dogs go through the gaps at the bottom of the hedge, so the netting is a low-level obstruction for them. Unfortunately I can't get the swing to hammer posts into the ground, hence the Metposts. If it's the dogs you worry about then stock fencing would be fine. Barbed wire won't keep much out in the way of humans as Janet said but Stock fencing along a hedge however gappy would stop dogs getting through and is considerably cheaper than chain link. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Or deer fencing, given that there's an existing hedge - it works out to about 9p/foot here. |
