Estate Fencing

Our estate fencing combines robust steel construction with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring long-lasting durability. Designed for farms, estates, and parks, it features fully welded joints and deep-ground installation for superior strength. Customers benefit from a seamless, maintenance-free barrier that enhances property aesthetics while withstanding heavy stock and harsh weather conditions.

Metal Tree Guards

Metal tree guards protect saplings and mature trees from livestock and environmental damage. Available in multiple sizes, they feature welded steel construction and stock-friendly designs. These guards ensure long-term tree health, with options for rusted, galvanized, or painted finishes to suit rural and urban landscapes.

Field Gates

Custom-designed field gates match our estate fencing, offering security and durability. Constructed with heavy-duty steel posts and handmade scrolls, they include stock-proof latches for farm use. These gates provide reliable access control while maintaining the aesthetic continuity of your fencing system.

Installation Tools

We supply manual and hydraulic tools for self-installation of estate fencing. Our post drivers and straighteners ensure precise, efficient setup. Tools are available for hire with full refunds upon return, supporting DIY projects without compromising professional results.

Deer Fencing

Deer fencing solutions protect properties from wildlife intrusion. Featuring 8-rail posts and hydraulic installation, they create a robust barrier against deer and other animals. This fencing integrates seamlessly with rural landscapes while offering long-term durability and minimal maintenance.

After scouring the UK for a traditional looking and high quality estate fencing supplier I finally selected Designer Metal. The product looked good, they were competitive on price, they were a family business and they had a website that made everything clear (great videos!). The order was a short 23m run of their supply-only estate fencing with a gate kit (+ tools). Quite a bit of elbow grease later and some help from my father-in-law welder and the job looks great. I know other buyers that sing their praises too. Cant recommend them enough!

I bought a tree guard to protect and support a mature palm and was helped and advised appropriately and politely. The product was delivered promptly, in good condition and is exactly as described.

Extremely helpful family run business. Good advice. Well engineered fencing and gates. Accessible yard if you collect as I did, and lightning fast loading and help with tie downs. Also, and importantly, competitive prices.
