Species-Specific Exclusion Systems

Our wildlife exclusion systems are designed for species-specific requirements, including deer, badger, otter and Great Crested Newt exclusion. Each installation is tailored to the target species, site conditions, ecological sensitivity and the requirements of the relevant statutory bodies. We prioritise sustainable timber, durability, low maintenance and visual integration with the surrounding environment while ensuring effective exclusion performance.

Our experienced project managers and installation teams work closely with clients and ecologists to develop solutions that meet site-specific risks, operational needs, budget constraints and ecological compliance requirements. All works are planned and delivered with regard to seasonal timing, protected species legislation and habitat sensitivity.

Common Questions About Wildlife Exclusion Fencing

What species can your fencing systems exclude?
We design and install exclusion systems for a wide range of species, including deer, badger, otter and Great Crested Newt. Each system is tailored to the behaviour, size and movement patterns of the target species, as well as the ecological sensitivity of the site.
Do you work alongside project ecologists?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with client-appointed ecologists and environmental consultants to ensure that fencing solutions meet ecological survey recommendations, mitigation licence conditions and statutory body requirements.
What materials do you use for wildlife exclusion fencing?
We prioritise sustainably sourced timber and durable, low-maintenance materials selected for longevity and visual integration with the surrounding landscape. Material specifications are matched to the target species and site conditions.
Are your fences compliant with protected species legislation?
All of our wildlife exclusion installations are planned and delivered with full regard to protected species legislation, seasonal timing restrictions and habitat sensitivity requirements. We work to the standards set by Natural England, NatureScot and Natural Resources Wales as appropriate.
Can you install temporary exclusion fencing during construction?
Yes. We supply and install temporary wildlife exclusion fencing for construction and development projects, including newt-exclusion systems and other species-specific barriers required under ecological mitigation licences.
