To secure these to your fence, there is a large selection of insulators to choose from. You can choose from ring, combination, corner and 'screw on' insulators to distance, clamping and bolt & buckle insulators which each having their own place in insulating the farm fence conducting line.

Electric Nets For Chickens, Sheep & Rabbits
The electric chicken netting is of a very high quality with the green electric poultry netting being a best seller. This is the perfect electric fence solution to keep your chickens in their pen and predators like foxes out. As they are quite 'power hungry', we have created a few fencing kits to with all you'll need to get started. As with all of our kits, we can adapt them to suit your requirements. The sheep nets and electric rabbit netting also benefit from the same German quality of manufacture.

Electric Fence Polyposts
The plastic electric fence posts / polyposts are available in 3 sizes and in green or white. While the standard 3ft plastic fenceposts are very popular, the superior horse fenceposts have a considerably stronger build - particularly the footplate. They come with a 3 yr manufactures warrenty and have a superb UV resistance, so if you're needing plastic posts that can endure years in all weathers without becoming brittle, then these are for you.

We can advise over the phone about all your poultry fencing needs and for information on looking after poultry we recommend www.poultrykeeper.com where we contribute articles on husbandry and fencing.

Horse Clippers & Blades

Last year we expanded our range of horse clippers to include those from Heiniger, Liveryman and Wolseley to give us a more balanced range to meet our customer needs. This year we have added more clippers to suit all needs and budgets.All are at prices well below RRP.

Last year Wahl's Moser Avalon was matched in popularity by the Liveryman Harmony by the 1 or 2 horse owners who were after a cordless horse clipper. The Heiniger Cordless and the Wolseley Merlin added to give the cordless & rechargeable clippers selection a much needed boost for those who had a number of horses to attent to. These are especially popular with those whose horses have thicker coats.

Our medium duty horse clippers have had a major overhaul with some very well known makes & models taking pride of place. While the Heiniger, Liveryman and Wolseley clippers all provide machines with balanced motors that have lower vibration levels and are quieter, we have added some new horse clippers to fill the gaps in our range.

From Liveryman comes the Filly which has a strong motor and is short and light. The Liveryman Arena packs a good punch and comes at an excellent price for the medium duty clipper range but the Liveryman Red Rocket and Liscop Cutli stand out from the crowd.

These are made by Lister in Germany and are the quietest clippers we have ever come accross. The low vibration technology and the oscillating drive unit have produced a fantastic clipper that's perfect for nervous horses. The slim, easy-grip handpiece makes it very easy to hold for continuous operation. Well worth a look.

Until now we just had the Hauptner 3000 as our heavy weight clipper but we've brought in the Heiniger Delta 3 which is in a different league altogether. No other horse clipper of this power has 3 speed settings which can slow down for sensitive areas and decrease it's noise level accordingly for nervous horses. Once you've used (or even held) this clipper, you can see why Heiniger has the reputation for producing some of the worlds best engineered clippers.

Clipper Blade Sharpening

We are now able to sharpen animal / horse clipper blades back to manufactures specifications quickly and at a VERY competative price.

As anybody who clips their own horse knows, clipper blades inevitably get blunt and need sharpened on a regular basis. Getting your blades sharpened with us couldn't be easier. Just choose the type of blades you have and how many, pay at the checkout and then print off the order confirmation. Enclose the blades with the confrmation and send to us. We will profesionally sharpen them and send them back as soon as they are done.

Liveryman Red Rocket Horse Clippers & FREE Trimmer £247.50 QUIET, LOW-VIBRATION WITH SLIM GRIP These are a break from the 'standard' design of horse clippers with a slightly snazzier look and feel with fantastic power and performance. They have a 90w permanent magnet motor so power will never be a problem. The 90 watts high torque permanent magnet motor has masses of power in reserve and when it is faced with slightly tougher areas to get through, it calls on those reserves and gets the job done. The oscillating cutter drive is a system that powers the clipper head with lower vibration levels and is therefore quieter. The way the head drives the cutter blade is far smoother so there is less 'chatter' from the blades and vibratiion felt by both horse and person clipping. The design of the handpiece has been influenced by sheep shears and are far more 'hand-friendly'. They have a diameter of just 48mm at the the narrowest point and the black section on the handpiece is made from non-slip plastic so even if you have small hands you can use these without having to 'squeeze' the handpiece in order to have a good grip. If you've clipped a horse with large clippers before and got sore hands by the end of it then these will be a God send. They give 2,200 double strokes per minute which is slightly faster than most and the blades are the A102 type which are readily available and the ones supplied are the medium ones giving a 3mm cut. They are 29cm long and weight a fraction over a kilo so fairly lightweight. There is a small air intake with filter on the base of the handle which allows the air in just to keep everything cool. The air comes out of the head in such a way as not to blow the clippings everywhere. They come in a plastic carry case with a set of A102 blades, a brush and a bottle of oil. Made by Lister in Germany for Liveryman, these are also in our shop in a white/black colour called the Liscop Cutli. Both are exactly the same clipper but badged differently for different suppliers.

They have a 90w permanent magnet motor so power will never be a problem. Although 90 watts might not sound like a medium duty clipper the high torque permanent magnet drive has masses of power in reserve and when it is faced with slightly tougher areas to get through, it just gets on with it. It'll give 2,200 double strokes per minute which is faster than most in it's catagory. The design of the handpiece has been influenced by sheep shears where they fit into the shape of the hand and will work all day long without becoming uncomfortable. It has a diameter of just 48mm at the the narrowest point and the black section is made from easy-grip plastic so even if you have small hands you can use these without having to 'squeeze' the handpiece.

This is a 12v battery energiser which comes with a mains adapter to allow it to work from the mains making it a very versatile power unit. This model has an OUTPUT JOULE rating of 0.4J which will power a 4km of electric fencing. Under normal line resistance levels of 500 Ohms it will still put a 3,900v pulse throught the fence so it's perfect for medium length horse fences. The mains adapter that's included is a bit like a mobile phone charger and just plugs into the side of the unit. Although it's fully weather-proof and designed for being out in all weathers, like all mains energisers, it must be housed indoors when being powered by the mains. It comes with all the required leads to attach to a battery and to an earth stake (not included) and to the electric fenceline itself but as when it's mounted in an outhouse the distance to an earthstake and to the fence are variable, any additional insulated cable will need the be bought here. Ideal for the person who powers a remote fence during part of the year and likes the flexability of powering the fence from the mains if it's available at other times. Specification Stored energy - 0.8 Joules Output energy - 0.45 Joules Fence voltage max - 7500v Fence voltage at 500ohms - 3900v Distance under light load (vegetation earthing) - 4 km Guarantee - 2 Years find out more

A102 Horse Clipper Blade From Liscop £37.00 These are a set of A102 blades for horse clippers. Compatable clippers include the Liveryman Red Rocket, Rodeo, Whisper, the Liscop Cutli, the Wolseley Merlin and Osprey. Made by Lister in Germany for Liscop so despite the cheap price these are top quality German blades. find out more	Extra Strong Corner Posts For Poultry / Chicken Electric Netting £4.00 These posts are made from very thick plastic and are far more rigid than the standard posts that come with the chicken netting and are intended to give extra support where needed. When installing a electric netting system it is quite often the case that the posts in the corners will bend inwards if put under much pressure . This can result in some sagging and therefore some power being lost to earth. Previously the solution to this has been either using guy ropes to hold back the corner post, a wooden post hammered just outside the fence to tie the top of the chicken post to with the addition of extra posts throughout the length of the net. These posts have a double spike on the ends which gives a far greater grip in the soil so they will not move under pressure and the spikes are about an inch or so longer than with the normal posts that come with electric netting. The width of these posts is also greater than normal and at 3/4" thick they are very strong and will not bend under pressure. There is a smalll catch to hold the bottom line of the net to the base of these posts (not pictured) and the top line gets lifted up and hooks into the groove on top. The posts are ever so slightly taller than the netting and this is to put most of th estrain on the top line to keep the whole fence taught and allow the rest of the net to be under no pressure at all. They work remarkably well and even after being oudoorsin all conditions they will keep your from sagging. This will minimise the earth leakages and make the chicken pen more secure. find out more	Liveryman Wide Horse Clipper Blade - Fine 1.6mm Cut £36.00 This is a FINE wide blade for all horse clippers that use the snap on type of blade.
