We do them in recycled plastic, details in the attached brochure.

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.

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.

The Association of Fencing Industries (AFI) are looking for farmers/contractors who have experienced premature failure in timber posts: https://afiorg.uk/post-failure-samples/

How have you found the metal fencing?

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...

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.

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.

Farm Expo is next Wednesday at Kent County Showground: https://kcas.org.uk/farm-expo/ We will be in the Maidstone Hall with our range of recycled plastic fencing and landscaping products:

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.

Did you make it to YAMS? It was a good show again this year. A bit cold but can't do much about that!

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...

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...

The combination of the grids and the infill mean that they can't really go anywhere. Perhaps at the base of the slope you could do a concrete pour, so the grids would be pushed against the slab. You can also secure them with re-bar if required - anything up to about 30mm will fit through the...

Here's the data sheet from the manufacturer. We will be at YAMS on Wednesday and will have a sample with us.

The sub-base needs to be sound to take the maximum weight, but the underside of the grid has 58% coverage, to reduce sinking. We haven't tried infilling with concrete slurry, just screened scalpings (topsoil in the field entrance). I guess that the concrete would stay in the grids provided that...

Have you looked at heavy duty ground grids? We distribute hanit recycled plastic products and have used the grids in our yard and field entrance, with good results. The grids are rated at 60 tonnes and the RRP is £23.35+VAT per square metre. They also allow through-drainage. Please ask if you...

Yorkshire Agricultural Machinery Show (YAMS) is less than three weeks away: Wednesday the 8th of February at York Auction Centre (YO19 5GF). It's a great show with a good mix of large and small exhibitors. We will be in the main exhibition hall with our range of recycled plastic fencing...
