Farm Fence

In agriculture, fences are wont to keep animals in or out of a neighborhood . They can be made up of a good sort of materials, counting on terrain, location and animals to be confined. Most agricultural fencing averages about 4 feet high and in some places the peak and construction of fences designed to carry livestock is remitted by law.

A fencerow is that the strip of land by a fence that's left uncultivated. It may be a hedgerow or a shelterbelt (windbreak) or a refugee for native plants. If not too narrow it acts as a habitat corridor.

Historically throughout most of the planet domesticated livestock would roam freely and be fenced out of areas, like gardens or fields of crops where they were unwanted.

The earliest farm fencing Auckland were made from available materials usually stone or wood and these materials are still used for a few fences today. In areas where field stones are plentiful, fences are built up over the years because the stones are faraway from fields during tillage and planting of crops. The stones were placed on the sector edge to urge them out of the way. In time, the piles of stones grew high and wide.

In other areas, fences were constructed of timber. Log fences were simple fences constructed in newly cleared areas by stacking log rails. Earth could even be used as a fence; an example was what's now called the sunken fence, or "ha-ha," a kind of wall built by digging a ditch with one steep side and one sloped side.
