If you are using Creosoted timber, ask McVeighs for the BBH timber. That way you know at least it is genuine Creosote and UK treated. If you are after UC4 then it's pot luck. Country Supplies at High Wycombe will deliver to you There is a man near Basingstoke splitting Chestnut stakes etc...

How long does it typically take for an application to be approved so that work can commence? I have a couple of clients who want to coppice, plant and fence old hedge lines this coming winter

I think the big white catch with black centre is to fasten the cover and hold the bar in place. The black adjuster above is to move the bar in or out.

Where abouts in the Chilterns are you? I'm near Prestwood/Naphill. Sore on metal and tyres is the Chilterns

Around here if you don't guard or fence then the deer will hammer any planting. I have done beat ups, admittedly on conservation type rough pasture and the voles have chewed the whips off.

Yes definitely. It took a bit of tweaking of oil flow, gear selection, engine speed and knowing what vegetation was too much for it to rip through. But this was an early model and they may have improved again. We could have reused this netting, but it was 50m rolls of Mild Steel that had been...

Any updates on this? If checks are done for nesting birds, landowners are ok to trim hedges for another week or 2 without taking the Micky?
