Does anyone have an idea if I would need planning to construct a wall (possibly out of blocks) for part of a handling area/isolation area in the middle of our field to be used by sheep and ponies? Am I right in assuming if it's under 2m I will be fine or would blocks be an immediate fail even if...

Has anyone bought any clipex recently? The prices have disappeared off the website and I could do with doing a bit of budgeting for some work tonight.

Got my replacements today. Very happy with them. Tubing much thicker, well made solid hurdles. Galvanised out of a can over the welds but for the money they were they are superb. Will stand up to much more therapy than the iae ones we have

Paying rent like that I cant see you struggling to get a tenancy. That is obscene unless there are a lot of buildings and a big house with it. Just keep looking around as there have been plenty over the few months and I would imagine there will be plenty more coming up

Replacements coming this week so will see what they are like. Others that have ordered from the same place have said how good they are so fingers crossed

Hopefully not too long as I'm desperate for them. Just want some that are useable. I know they are snowed under with work though

They have told me they are making me some more to replace them. Will see what they are like if and when they arrive.

We live in the Yorkshire Dales. There is a lot of ragwort around this year where normally there is very little. We have a couple up at 500m above sea level where there has never been a sign of it before. Having this conversation with a neighbouring farmer who has been there 50 years and he seems...

Nope of course in a combined 30 years as a farmer and farrier never bought anything from a vat registered business. Maybe terminology around you is different but around here an all in price, nothing to add, is just that. There's also no guarantee 2 blokes selling on Facebook will be vat...

We've got some old painted calf hurdles I bought second hand 10yrs ago. Totally indestructible. Weigh a ton but will last forever.

Not understanding business to business? I've run a business for 30 years! If I agree an all in price, a price with everything included I don't then expect someone to subtly try to add vat on in a later conversation. How does paying a cheque to someone totally unrelated help me? By making a...

I've been sussed?? For what? That's a bit of a strange reply. Sussed for not wanting to pay a cheque to someone nothing to do with the transaction? I'm guessing you have something to do with the Finney's because that reply is just bizarre.

To me if you agree a final all in price, that includes everything including vat. More than anything else it was the constant salesman talk that put me off anyway. When said wasn't vat registered he wanted cash which I said no to and then a cheque made out to someone else .

No. We ordered off them in the past and ended up cancelling as agreed a price all in then they added VAT on and were relentless with their sales patter. They also have more sales than DFS. Not sure what their stuffs like but it was the constant Second hand car dealer talk that put me off

Was that a Finney by any chance? Always trying to flog sheep and cattle handling systems on facebook with more sales than DFS, although from the pics they don't look too bad. Probably should have given them a go instead. Guy I bought from wasn't Irish and nothing to do with them. Giving them a...
