Tackling a persistent problem
The project focuses on a problematic roadside boundary where lambs could slip through gaps in a broken fence. With the safety of his livestock at stake, Cammy needed a robust and secure solution. This is where the choice of Fetra’s metal fencing system, promised to provide long-term protection and peace of mind.
Installed by Fetra’s approved contractors
Cammy was supported with the expertise of fencing contractors Rory Samson, James Whiteford, and Duncan Samson to carry out the installation. The team demonstrates each process step, from positioning strainers and intermediate posts to attaching stock netting topped with two tensioned wires for added security.
They also show how the fencing is reinforced on rocky terrain using rock spikes, ensuring stability even in challenging ground conditions. A box system is also installed, adding further structural strength to the overall setup.

A standout moment in the video is Cammy’s conversation with Riley Wheatcroft from StowAg. Riley offers valuable insights into the unique features of Fetra’s fencing system and demonstrates the user-friendly clip system, which makes securing netting and wires simple and efficient.
He also explains the benefits of the Magnelis® treatment, a zinc-aluminium-magnesium coating applied to each fencing component. This advanced coating resists rust and corrosion, even in harsh weather conditions, helping to maintain the fence’s integrity over time.
One key takeaway from the video is the longevity of Fetra’s fencing. Riley confirms that the system comes with an impressive 40-year warranty, underscoring the British manufacturer’s confidence in its durability and performance.
