Police are appealing for any information that may help with their investigation into a burglary at our Stansted Park branch. The burglary happened at around midnight on Wednesday 21^st December 2011.

The thieves got away with approximately 11 tonnes of horse fencing, which would have taken several people considerable time to load. Either a large vehicle or a number of trips would have been needed to remove the materials. For this reason it is thought the thieves are probably local to the area. The haul consisted of machine round wooden fence posts, half round rails and rolls of 1.2m high horse fence. The newly launched X net horse fence product has been specifically designed with a special X shaped knot to prevent injuries to horses and foals.

The Stansted Sawmill site is located close to the West Sussex border between Emsworth and Rowlands Castle. Lorna Purse and her team have worked incredibly hard to make this branch a success since it was re-opened by AVS Fencing in the spring. The X net horse fence is a new product to the market and is not widely available in the area. Any information regarding the possible whereabouts of this fencing would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Lorna on 02392 412445, or the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555111, if you think you can help.

With increased interest being shown by our customers in our chestnut products, we thought we would tell you a little more about them and the history of Chestnut Fencing.

Below you will find three interesting facts about chestnut coppice products -

1. The production of Chestnut coppice products is a key part of the rural economy and many of the products are produced using traditional ways of life. So every time you buy chestnut products you are supporting the rural economy.

2. Chestnut coppicing is a sustainable simple natural principle of nature. The constant cycle of harvesting chestnut coppice every 15-20 years ensures that all the tree stems are maintained and never die, so in many respects Chestnut products are very green and friendly to the environment.

3. Some of the main areas for growing and harvesting Chestnut products are Kent, Sussex and Hampshire. As such if you are purchasing chestnut products and live in these areas or close by, there are a number of positive environmental benefits as the carbon emissions associated with the supply of these products are fairly low.

Here at AVS Fencing Supplies we love our Chestnut products and as such are taking advantage of the endless benefits that coppicing chestnut products provide. With 6 branches currently located in coppicing areas we have decided to stock a huge variety of chestnut products and this includes, Chestnut pales, Chestnut border panels, Chestnut fence posts & Chestnut rails as well as many more.

Gardeners who wish to keep pests away from into their gardens and outdoor areas should consider embarking on a garden fencing project.
