WIRE PRODUCTS
Wire products are mainly used for agricultural and industrial purposes,
although gardeners and small holders alike have uses for many of our stock
items. Stock fences are designed to keep livestock in. When we specify a
stock fence we take into account a number of different factor including
What type of animals are to be contained? Is only one type of animal going
to be in the field? What are the local ground conditions? The answers to
these questions determine the size of the posts, post centres, use of barbed
wire (and how many rows), type of stock netting to be used.
MILD STEEL FENCING
APPLICATIONS:
Agricultural & Forestry
Road & Rail
Crop Protection
FEATURES:
Good value for money
Choice of grades, vertical spacing and heights
Available in easy to handle 50m rolls or larger 100m
rolls
Compliant with most grant aided fencing schemes
 Hinged Joint is a traditional style knot that allows the fence to flex under
pressure
HIGH TENSILE STOCK FENCE - Tornado was the first company to
manufacture high tensile stock fencing in Europe. High Tensile (HT) fencing
is stronger, more durable, easier to erect, remains tight & strong for
many years thus reducing long-term maintenance costs. Since it can be
strained far tighter than mild steel (MS) fencing, it requires only half the
number of intermediate posts which saves both time & money.
Today more and more fencing contractors, farmers and land-owners have been
choosing this product in preference to more traditional methods. Tornado
manufactures their range of HT fencing at their factory in Millom, Cumbria.
APPLICATIONS:
Farming
Forestry
Road & Rail
Crop Protection
FEATURES:
Greater strength and elasticity - retains shape after
animal impact thus reducing maintenance costs
Strains tighter than mild steel requiring fewer
intermediate posts
Available in standard 100m rolls and in 250m
contractor rolls
BARB WIRE - Barbed wire provides vital protection to the fence by
preventing downward pressure from cattle or other heavy animals. Titan - a
heavy duty High Tensile (HT) for ultimate strength, and Mild Steel (MS) -
which is a traditional barbed wire generally used with MS net fences. Both
are manufactured to BSEN 10223-1 and galvanized to BSEN 10244-2 Class A, to
guarantee the highest quality.
APPLICATIONS:
Sheep
Cattle
Pigs
Security Topping
FEATURES:
Suitable for a wide variety of fencing applications
Choice of Titan, HT and MS barbed wire
Titan & HT barbed wire is reverse twisted, making it
some of the safest barbed wire to use
Supplied on wooden reels for safe unrolling
COILED WIRE - Coiled wire can be used for supporting strained wire
netting, controlling stock or simply to extend the height of a fence.
A wide range of specifications is available in High Tensile (HT) and Mild
Steel (MS) for a variety of applications.
APPLICATIONS:
Electric Fence
Fence Topping
Vine and Plant Support
FEATURES:
Comprehensive choice of grades, roll length and
diameters providing a cost effective solution
Available in 5, 10 & 25kg coils
Heavily galvanised for maximum life
HEXAGONAL WIRE NET - This versatile product is used as the most cost
effective solution for rabbit proof fencing; other uses include poultry
runs, crop guards and temporary fencing. With a population in excess of 40
million, rabbits can cause economic losses to farmers; therefore a cost
effective and humane solution of controlling rabbits is required. Rabbit or
hexagonal fencing is seen as the most common form of managing rabbits,
whilst being both humane and environmentally acceptable. We offer a
comprehensive range of hexagonal netting in various heights, mesh sizes and
gauges, all heavily galvanised for maximum life.
The rabbit population of Britain has soared over recent years and this
increase has led to widespread damage, as rabbits decimate crops and planted
material
APPLICATIONS:
Crop Protection
Poultry / Chicken
Rabbits
FEATURES:
Comprehensive variety of grades, heights and mesh
sizes providing a choice of cost effective solutions
Suitable for a wide range of applications
CHESNUT FENCING - Available in 2 or 3 wire, 0.9m or 1.2m.
STAPLES & NAILS - Staples are the first choice for secure fencing;
available in plain or barbed. Barbed staples have been specifically designed
for use in softwood posts. If a post dries out and splits, the barb will
resist being pulled out. Either choice can be easily carried to the fence
line in 5, 10 or 20kg re-sealable plastic buckets.
An extensive range of galvanised nails in a variety of specifications are
available in 1kg pre-packed up to 25kg boxes.

GRIPPLE PLUS
 The
new and improved Gripple Plus offers even more benefits than the
original Gripple. It has all the speed and convenience that Gripple has
long been associated with, but now offers even better grip, versatility
and longevity.
The versatility of the new Gripple Plus is even more evident in fencing
as it can be used on field and livestock fencing, plain and barbed wire
fencing,
H-post bracing and electric fencing. With improved smooth wire entry
features, Gripple Plus is quick and easy to use. Installation is easier
and faster giving you more time to tackle other jobs.
The new patented ceramic gripping mechanism provides a better grip on
today's hard, high-tensile wire, and locks it in place to give it
strength. In addition it performs better where fertilisers and sprays
are used.
Repairing damaged fencing is simple too. The Gripple allows you to make
quick repairs or replace sections of wire meaning that your fence will
stand the test of time.
The setting key allows adjustment of the Gripple on the wire (before
tension) ensuring a professional, balanced finish every time.
Gripple Plus can be used for:
- Field and livestock netting
- Barbed wire
- Plain wire fencing
- H-post bracing
- Electric fencing for cattle
The fast way to install and tension fencing. Gripples can be used on
field and livestock fencing, barbed wire and plain wire.
Features
-
 Positional setting key - allows a Gripple that has been pushed on
too far, to be brought back.
- Supreme performance - the innovative design has been subject to
rigorous endurance tests to ensure it withstands extreme weather
conditions, temperatures, humidity, dynamics and impact.
- Long Lasting - zinc, ceramics, and stainless steel combine to
produce a mechanism that obsorbs the load and resists the effects of
the environment.
- High load strength - takes higher loads and provides supperior
corrosion resistance.
- Gripples for electric fencing are supplied with a plastic coating.
Gripple Setting Key
- Use with the Gripple Plus Small, Medium and Large
