Learn to build and repair fences.
This handbook describes the design and construction of fences. It is primarily aimed at those concerned with the management of land for conservation and amenity, but the materials and techniques described are applicable to fences built purely for agricultural or other purposes.
It contains everything you need to know about fencing - their design, siting, the law, health & safety. All aspects of construction are covered in detail and step by step.
