Help and How To...
We have coralled some very skilled professional fencers and persuaded them to write about their craft for the benefit of those who want to do their own fencing. The results are here complete with illustrations where possible. For those with more fencing experience we have also included an article by Tornado about High Tensile fencing. Over time we hope to add to this section to deal with other frequently asked questions.
