Hampton XNET™ Fencing for Deer. Tried....Tested and Passed
28 February 2014
Hampton's XNET™ Fencing specifically designed to protect and contain deer was trialled by the renowned deer farmer and Veterinary Surgeon, Dr John Fletcher BVMS, Hon FRCVS, PhD, ARAgS on his farm in Fife.
Manufactured in the UK only by Hampton Steel Ltd, Hampton XNET™ was recently put to the test by expert deer farmer and Veterinary Surgeon Dr John Fletcher on his farm in Fife. The fencing tested, the 13/190/15 pattern, was selected for its suitability in providing a safe enclosure for the red deer farmed by John, however, another alternative popular pattern is 17/190/15 which features 17 line wires and is suitable where smaller species such as muntjac need to be excluded or contained.
Following the six month trial, John confirmed that Hampton XNET™ had proven itself to be 'robust and well able to withstand pressure from deer'. The low profile X shaped knotted joint locks vertical and horizontal wires tight providing a fence that is not only much stronger than more traditional fencing solutions, but also retains its rigidity and shape when put under severe pressure. With no protruding ends, the knotted joint also helps prevent against injury to deer legs and pelage. Versatility in mesh sizes allows Hampton XNET™ to be configured to a variety of different specifications with fence heights up to 2.6 metres. This versatility gives the product a marked advantage over conventional hinge joint fencing where spacings are effectively fixed.
Thus, if a standard Hampton XNET™ pattern does not meet a particular user's needs, then it is easy to change the pattern to suit. This flexibility in the manufacturing process is just one of the features that makes this fencing so special.
As confirmed by Dr. Fletcher's contractor, high tensile Hampton XNET™ is almost self-supporting, so far easier to erect. If it is required, an optional hinged line is an easy addition in the manufacturing process to enable a section of the fence at the bottom or top to be angled out, helping to prevent burrowing or scaling animals gaining access.

All fencing is manufactured to BS EN 10223-5 from wire produced to BS 4102 and fully galvanised to BS EN 10244-2 Class A.
