    mudcontrol slabs

    As an alternative we offer these Paddock Slabs, which you backfill with fine aggregate. We have used them on our yard and filled them with scalpings, they are standing up to the tractors very well. Please get in touch if you would like a quote. They retail at £23.35+VAT per square metre.

    What are the options for fencing posts now?

    If you only have to do it once in your lifetime I consider it worth the effort - better than having to replace your fence posts every 5-10 years.

    What are the options for fencing posts now?

    We distribute recycled plastic fence posts, which have an expected service life of 50+ years. We find the main obstacle is price (an 80mm round is £12+VAT and a 100mm round £19+VAT, both 1750mm/5'9"). It looks similar to wood, and you can staple and screw into it. But you must spike the holes...

    Cemfixing

    We have used Fischer Vinylester resin for anchor studs and rate it highly. Ironmogery Direct sell it. It goes off very quickly in warm weather so get everything prepped so you can get it out of the gun quickly. Orbital fasteners for the studs etc.

    Farm Expo, Kent County Showground

    It's a good show, and reasonably close to us. Hopefully the number of outside exhibitors has increased this year; last year it was a bit quiet outside. We find YAMS and MMS to be busier shows, but they are both well established and geographically better placed.

    security fence

    Try Steelway: https://www.steelway.co.uk/ Or CLD Fencing: https://www.cld-systems.com/ All their products are available powder coated so blend in better than galvanised. If you are considering any sections in panel fence have a look at Durapost.

    How long for an Ifor?

    We run a 4.2m Humbaur dropside - previously had three IWT's. The Humbaur was about 10% dearer than the equivalent Ifor, but it's a dream to tow, and about 100Kg lighter. And no rattling! I would recommend looking at Humbaur or Bockmann: https://www.boeckmann.com/en They are built more like a...

    Concrete Sleeper Track on Steep Slope?!

    I would say that our customers choose the grids because they are less visible than a solid surface, and they allow through-drainage. A few customers have used them as parking and turning areas (backfilled with topsoil and re-seeded) to avoid attention from planning authorities. I take your point...
