Tornado R15/158/8 Torus – 50m

Description

The R15/158/8 fence comes with pre-stripped ends, making it easy to join sections. It is ideal for use along highways or in areas where badger movement needs to be controlled. The solid, closely spaced vertical stay wires add strength and help prevent badgers from pushing through. Additionally, it can be used as embankment netting.

The R15/158/8 exceeds Highways Agency specifications H46 and H47. It features a solid vertical wire, known as “stiff-stay,” and an unobtrusive high-pressure bonded Torus knot with no sharp edges.

High tensile wire strains tighter than mild steel, requiring fewer intermediate posts and making it quicker to erect. The spring-like properties of high tensile wire help the netting stay tight, minimizing maintenance.

For added protection, the bottom 600mm can be buried and turned out to prevent badgers from digging under the fence. Barbed wire can also be added to the top to prevent climbing when used as a stand-alone badger fence.

Ground Contact:

The service life of zinc and zinc-aluminium coated agricultural fences can be greatly reduced when exposed to highly acidic or saline environments. This factor should be carefully considered during fence installation planning. To achieve the expected service life, it is recommended that the fence be installed in atmospheres with corrosivity classes C1, C2, or C3 (very low, low, or medium) according to ISO 9223. The fence should not come into contact with substances that accelerate corrosion, such as fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, saltwater, and soils with a pH lower than 5.5.

For installations on sites with peaty or wet ground conditions, it is advisable to test the soil pH before designing your installation.
