  Whether you need a fence that will protect large livestock such as cattle and horses, or an enclosure for a few chickens, or any size of stock enclosure, this guide contains a wealth of practical information and advice. The book offers guidance on purchasing the correct materials and tools, and the best retailers to do business with; the basic post-and-rail fence, including the ideal equestrian enclosure; and specialist fences for different livestock. It also covers dealing with variations in local topography, including fencing on slopes and crossing rivers and streams; adding stiles and gates to a fence; and advanced fencing techniques, including how to secure posts in shallow or soft ground.
