A four-board paddock and a farm gate
Two horses, an old barbed-wire line and a hayfield next door. The wire came out, and a four-board paddock fence went in, with braced corners and a farm gate wide enough for the tractor.

Barbed wire and horses don’t mix, and this pair had the scars to prove it. The owners wanted a safe paddock that would last, and a gate wide enough to bring the tractor in for the hay.
We rolled up the old wire, walked and cleared the line, and set six H-braces at the corners and the gate. A hundred and forty-three posts were driven forty inches into the clay, four boards went on each bay with a cap along the top against chewing, and the fourteen-foot gate was hung level on the strongest hinges we stock.
