Hello all, Happy Winter months.

And as many of you will have noticed hello rugs on some horses, this means that winter is here and that not only are the nights  darker and longer ( but now getting shorter yepee) but the grass will start to become scarse, now is an ideal time to think about sectioning off your field so you can rotate the horses to prevent poaching of the ground and you can still have some grass for them to eat here is a link to our horse kits which will allow you to look at sectioning

Everyone at EFD is animal daft - living with dogs, horses and cats ... so we have decided we are going to give a wee bit back to our beloved animals and help support a F A N T A S T I C animal rescue charity called the Hillside Animal Sanctuary.  Hip Hip Hurray for everyone working at this Sanctuary- you truly do amazing and invaluable work, thank you!

And we're particularly excited because we've managed to adopt this lovely wee girl, Candy Floss the Highland cow!

We've sold our electric fencing all over the world and have customers in Sweden, Singapore, France and Malawi to name but a few countries!!

We love to get photos and feedback on our fencing products from our customers and this blog shows some fab photos of a customer's poultry electric netting setup out in Almegijar near Granada in Spain.

The chickens here get to look at the beautiful Sierra Mountains every day - lucky them. And our fab 25m Solar Assist powered Premium Poultry netting kit keeps

It's been a brilliantly zappy year for us at Electric Fencing Direct - and some of our customers have been using our electric fencing in "less conventional ways"....

For example, take our customer Billy Roden: he has recently been using our electric fencing to increase the fun (?) aspect of some very dirty events ....!

Our energisers and other electric kit have been used to create rather challenging electric obstacles on several obstacle and mud runs - the very worthy ToughSh!t competition which

Today we visited Edinburgh Zoo

If like me you have not been since you were a child I reckon it is somewhere you should consider visiting again.  The animals look well cared for and have relatively large enclosures - lots of things to do and see.  http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/

The zebras were sheltering from the winter weather, the lions were relaxing after breakfast, the pandas were sleeping (apparently they can sleep for up to 16 hours a day!), the pelicans were preening and the flamingos

Maybe you are looking to purchase some electric fencing ? if so hopefully these will give you some idea of what can be achieved! The photos are clickable too so just click on them and you will see details
