Installation:
Technique 1 - The Sub-Soiler Leg This technique is suitable in favourable ground conditions and requires a crawler or tractor unit to pull the newt fencing leg through the ground (please note that a mini-digger is not suitable for this technique).
 
Instructions are given prior to sale.
 
Before commencing fencing installation, the area must be checked for underground services/ ordinates. It should be remembered that Herpetosure newt fencing, reptile fencing and snake fencing have a buried depth of 300mm.
 
The newt fencing sub-soiler leg has an open back, in which to receive panels: newt fencing panels are placed into the leg and then pulled into the ground. As the unit moves forward a slit is created 300mm deep into which the newt fencing panel will slide. Once the first newt fence panel is positioned another is placed into the newt fence leg and the process is repeated.
 
The newt fencing panels are installed with an approximate overlap of 50mm. Once the newt fence line is installed, any minor levelling adjustments can than be made. From here the newt fencing is ready to be riveted together. Newt fencing requires an average of three rivets per joint; one in the top lip and two down the vertical face (reptile fencing often requires 3 rivets in the vertical face).
 
Holes are drilled into the required positions and then blind riveted together; it is vital that the ecological fencing panels form a tight seal – this is the only way newt fencing will be newt proof!
 
All that remains is to track in any irregular gaps in the ground or remove any stones which newts may travel underneath. Because Herpetosure newt fencing is so robust tracking down the fence line with care is possible; this will cause the ground to compact and strongly secure the newt fencing. Care should always be taken to minimise the impact machinery has on the ground. Support stakes may be used for Herpetosure reptile fencing and for snake fencing installations support stakes should always be used.
