    The Fencing Picture Thread

    Time to be brave and post a few from what I've been doing. I'm learning as I go of course but so far everyone has been pleased with what I've done for them and there have been no unrecoverable cock ups! This was at a friend's paddock, just shy of 100m in total. It's on 4-5" peeled posts, I...

    The what I f^cked up today thread...

    I like this thread. One of the first times I drove a tractor I managed to mangle a fairly new gate and post with the loader. A couple of days later I put a lovely deep scratch in the paint of a brand new van with a tiny piece of steel that sticks out an inch further than everything else. :( I...

    Bad place to park....

    Unfortunately that's rubbish. You may have a defence if you're able to say you damaged a vehicle accidentally whilst trying to remove it, but that doesn't mean you're off the hook. Also note that poaching and aggravated trespass are criminal acts, whereas trespass is not. Anybody has the right...

    Bad place to park....

    Sorry folks, but this is unarguably criminal damage and whether or not his feelings are understandable, his actions are out of order and could very well land him in trouble.

    Ifor-type trailer

    Looks like an 8x5 in the pics. 8x5 would be better than 10x5 for me 85% of the time, but the 15% when I have 12ft materials to carry it would annoy me!

    Ifor-type trailer

    Cheers, much as I'd like to think bigger is better I think 12x6 would be a bit of a pain and also prone to me filling it up with far too much weight!

    Ifor-type trailer

    Hmm, point taken. I have seen a few used ones that look good, but they want pretty much new money for them anyway! I guess itlf I buy new now it'll probably be the only one I ever need to buy...

    HMRC Self Employed Grant Scheme

    No, it did say that you should only apply if you had been impacted, but nothing else. It took literally two minutes start to finish.

    Very small amount of yard or shed space

    I am looking to rent a small area of yard and/or shed space to store some of my kit. Initially just a pickup trailer, but will hopefully grow to include a compact tractor and some small forestry kit. I don't need anything fancy, just the space to keep things. Home is Stourport-on-Severn so...
