Fenches

 believe your property is surrounded by woodlands .... have you thought of maybe fencing by layering down some of the younger growth...works well here as verything grows so quickly... maybe using your bamboo to re-enforce parts...to my mind ...and ok i know you get strong winds in the UK too... many of the light timber fencing solutions would be shredded to bits in short time with the types of weather as regards winds that you get here... plus sun and rain...unstable soil fo even put the pots in ...etc etc... a living fence seems to me an apt solution for you...more long term...materials on site , better as a nesting cover area for wild animals and if you go into your woods plenty of good material for taking cuttings and adding more growth....sorry not your requested answer but another idea maybe

I hope your talking of FENCES. the Bamboo ones that are available from most  Fi de Tae places or OK but need good support. In the Uk a hazel woven fence would more likely suit your needs, but I have not come accross them here. I grow hazel and have made a  small section of fence by knocking in stakes and threading hazel twigs between then which seems to be OK. Not enough hazel to go into production yet. The panels that you see in the UK are often used as point to point jumps so a good market for thenm in certain areas. Hazel is best because it's flexible and grows very quickly.

Reinforced whatsits are all very well, tasso, but if we're talking cinghiale, where do you get the watchtowers and the machine guns??

Point well made I did mean FENCES! Spelling a weakness!We do layer our hedges in our Cornish garden and have natural living fenches but in Italy the main problem would be watering as in the 1st year the new saplings would need tender loving care plus what about Roberto's manky gang of sheep and goats!!They'd chomp through wire I swear.Sorry but the reinforced razor wire solution is not very attractive ! It may keep out a few Badgers ( not particullarly worried about badgers) but it would look c..p wouldnt it ?I've actually done a bit of research and this website 'allotment gardening' gives some good instructions on contructing a rustic type fench that is quite substancial.www.allotmentforestry.comI'd be keen to hear opinions! 

 You could always put in a perimeter fence without watchtowers and machine guns and plant a hedge inside that....alternatively an electric fence seems to have a worthwhile deterrent effect on Sig, Sigra and bimbi cinghiale.
