What you need to know

The installation of electric fencing in gardens doesn’t always go down very well, especially with neighbours with children or pets. “Is it legal to have electric fencing in a garden?” is something we are also asked regularly online and in our shop.

So, whether you are thinking of installing this type of fence or you live close to some (in a residential area or near farmland), we’ve compiled some useful information for you.

Key Points To Remember

If erecting an electric fence near a roadway or in a residential area where it is in close proximity to the general public, it must be indicated by multiple signs that warn of its presence. These signs must be placed along the fencing at eye level.

The wires and connecting leads of the fence should not cross above power or communication lines.

If you’re installing an electric fence in your garden, do a risk assessment first. The risk assessment should include a consideration of whether there is an alternative solution available.

Choose high-quality parts and get the fence properly installed. Modern fencing is very reliable, but poor installation can cause problems.

Razor or barbed wire should not be electrified by an energiser.

We recently bought the Hutton Six Seater Round Picnic Table from Knight Fencing and are really pleased with it. It's sturdy, good-looking, and feels like it's built to last. Assembling it took about an hour, but the instructions were super easy to follow.

We had one small hiccup - we cross-threaded a bolt by mistake. But, it wasn't a problem as they'd included some spare parts in the pack, so we sorted it out quickly.

If you're near Sidlesham, do swing by their display area. It's full of tough garden furniture, different types of fences and gates - worth a look. Plus, if you're in the PO postcode area, delivery is free.

All in all, I can definitely recommend Knight Fencing and their Hutton picnic table. It's a good buy and they're excellent to deal with :)

I had delivery of my gorgeous garden swing this morning. How nice to be taken by surprise that Knight Fencing really delIvered on it's promise! Recent experience has shown me that not all companies do this. Since placing my order, Jade in customer services has been fab, and I also must mention how accommodating and friendly Knight Fencing's delivery partners, F&G Transport were - they couldn't have been more helpful. These are most definitely companies you can trust!! A very satisfied customer!!

New side gate and panel fitted at the back garden. Good quality materials and the gate looks smashing.
Although it took a few weeks between accepting the quote and the work being done it was worth the wait. Used KF in the past and would do again.
