Tornado HT5/158/8 Badger Fencing

Tornado HT5/158/8 Badger Fencing is a high-tensile wire mesh designed to provide a strong, durable barrier in areas where badger movement needs to be restricted. With a 1.58m overall height and close 80mm vertical stay spacing, the fencing helps prevent badgers from pushing through while providing a reliable solution for highways, embankments, boundaries and other wildlife management applications.

Manufactured from high-tensile galvanised steel wire, Tornado badger fencing strains tighter than traditional mild steel fencing. This allows for fewer intermediate posts during installation and helps create a strong, stable fence with reduced ongoing maintenance. The fencing does not stretch significantly with weathering, helping it remain taut without the need for regular annual retightening.

The traditional hinge-joint construction provides flexibility while maintaining strength, and the pre-stripped ends make joining rolls together easier during installation. Tornado HT5/158/8 is also suitable for applications requiring compliance with relevant Highways Agency specifications H46 and H47, making it a dependable choice for professional highways, agricultural and wildlife-management projects.
