My FG2 says intermediate stakes at 1.7m length so we have gone wit( the 5’6” stakesWe have got 3000m of FG2 (sheep net fencing) to do under the capital grants scheme. It specifies that you need to use 1.8m long stakes and 2.15m long straining posts. We would normally use 1.65m (5ft 6in) stakes and 2.1m (7ft) long strainers. I'm thinking of going for the 6ft stakes, but very reluctant to start using 8ft strainers. Obviously they cant see what length youve used once in the ground but unless you can get the supplier to alter the invoice info you're probably gonna get flagged for it!!
Just wondered if there were others on here that have already done fencing on the scheme and whether they risked it, or did it by the book???
Another thing... The height of fence specified is 1.05m. I'm hoping this is including a strand or two of barbed wire on top, so we can use the normal 80cm stock netting. Or does it mean we have to use 1.05m high netting before the barbed wire?
