Tanasote® - providing superior protection to fencing
What fencing contractors think of Tanasote®
One of the initial commercial trials of Tanasote® treated fencing was in partnership with Tim Bennett Farm Fencing, who agreed to test the treated timber at a site in West Sussex.
The fencing trial, installed in 2018, was a big commitment from the fencing contractor who has an enviable reputation spanning 35 years. Tim Bennett, Director, continues to be pleased with his participation in the trial and says about the treated timber:
“Tanasote copper-oil does not ‘bleed’ from the timber during hot weather conditions, the treated timbers have no strong smell and they are easy to install.
In my experience six years is enough time to detect a failing post. I can see no sign of failure on any Tanasote post I have installed. There is no sign of plant and vegetation ‘burn’ around the base of the posts.”
A focus on equestrian fencing
Looking specifically at equestrian fencing, Tanasote® treated posts and rails have been installed in five UK locations. To date there is no observable evidence of cribbing on any of the Tanasote® treated fence rails, and none of the site owners have reported seeing their horses chewing on the treated timber.
