It is made from hot-dip galvanised steel wire and supplied in 50m rolls. Three specifications are available to buy now: L9\/120\/15 (1.2m high), L16\/100\/15 (1.0m high) and L23\/200\/15 (2.0m high). The L20\/145\/15 (1.45m high) specification is currently unavailable. It suits farmers, smallholders, landowners, fencing contractors and woodland managers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA woven hinge-joint mesh\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorizontal line wires are joined by vertical stay wires, with the stays wrapped or knotted around each line wire where they cross. In general, this type of joint lets the mesh give when an animal leans or pushes against it, then return towards its original shape once the pressure is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCloser wires at the bottom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horizontal line wires are spaced closer together near the ground and further apart towards the top. Small and young animals tend to test a fence low down, so the tighter spacing at the base helps to keep them in, while the wider spacing higher up keeps the roll weight down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReading the specification code\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStock fencing in the UK is usually described by a three-part code. By general industry convention, the first number is the number of horizontal line wires, the second is the fence height in centimetres and the third is the spacing between the vertical stays in centimetres. So L9\/120\/15 has 9 line wires, stands 120cm high and has stays every 15cm. The \"L\" prefix is commonly used in the UK for heavy grade specifications. This is a naming convention, not a certification for this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKnow the limits: wire diameter not confirmed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wire diameters for this line are not published. Some published listings for this line show \"15 Gauge (1.75mm)\", but that figure appears to repeat the 15cm stay spacing and conflicts with the wire sizes usually found in heavy grade fencing. If wire diameter or tensile strength matters for your job, confirm it with us before ordering. Like any wire fence, it only performs as well as its posts, strainers and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fencing is typically used for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCattle and general stock boundaries (L9\/120\/15)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheep, lambs, pigs and smaller animals (L16\/100\/15)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer fencing and high-security livestock boundaries (L23\/200\/15)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForestry, new planting and woodland protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarm field boundaries and paddock divisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHinge-joint (knotted) woven field fence\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescribed as heavy grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHot-dip galvanised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoll length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL9\/120\/15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 line wires, 1.2m high, 15cm stays, roll weight about 26kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL16\/100\/15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 line wires, 1.0m high, 15cm stays, roll weight about 32kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL23\/200\/15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 line wires, 2.0m high, 15cm stays, roll weight about 48kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrently unavailable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL20\/145\/15 (1.45m high)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine wire spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraduated, closer at the bottom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWire diameters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTensile grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoating weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturing standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three specifications share the same 50m roll length and 15cm stay spacing.

Intermediate posts are spaced along the run between strainers. Unroll the fence with the closer-spaced wires at the bottom, attach it to the first strainer, then tension it evenly with a fence strainer or tensioning tool before tying off at the far strainer. Fix the mesh to timber posts with galvanised staples, leaving the wires free to move slightly. A plain or barbed top wire is often run above the mesh. Check tension and fixings from time to time and treat any cut ends with galvanised spray or paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does L9\/120\/15 mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy general convention, it means 9 horizontal line wires, a height of 120cm and vertical stays every 15cm.
