Before putting up a fence, check the proposed fence line carefully for badger runs or paths. Runs are most clearly visible during the spring. This is when badger activity is high, and vegetation is not at full height. Well-used paths are often distinct and relatively clear of vegetation because of repeated trampling.
Before installing the gate:
- cut extra holes in any places along the fence where damage occurs (for extra gates to be installed)
You should install the gates in the gaps once badgers have become used to the fence.
Find out how to avoid harming badgers and whether a licence is needed.
Check the gate regularly to make sure it does not become blocked or fall into disrepair.
