Attaching to Crossing Structures
When using fencing to guide wildilfe to a crossing structure is it important to ensure the connection to the crossing structure is as sealed and secure as it can be. If there are any gaps there is a risk wildlife will be able to move around or over the crossing structure and the purpose of the fencing will be undermined at a vital location.
It is useless having fencing if the connections to crossing structures are not secure.
We recommend starting fencing installations at the crossing structure and working outwards. This will ensure the connection is secure. If fencing installations start away from crossing structures and work towards them there is a risk of material shortage and misaglignment, often creating difficulties that lead to patchy, problematic connections.
Key points to consider:
Continue fencing over the top of structure
Attach to inside of wingwalls
Ensure no gaps
