Anyone bought any 6-7" strainers recently ? There seems to be a shortage of the raw product from the Baltic, delivery drivers to deliver them and of course , covid.
Apart from the priceyes no issues
That applies to everythingApart from the price
Any names @roscoe erf ?yes no issues
I won't concrete in posts now.Took almost two days to extract a rotted 175mm post that had been concreted in, now have a lovely smooth concrete 'ole to pop a new one in, when I get one. Previous owner has used 175mm posts, all concreted in. Replaced a 15 year old CCB tanalised strainer yesterday, literally just pulled it apart with my hands. grr!
just my local supplierAny names @roscoe erf ?
I don't keep much stock about me but I did a little job last week and priced up the materials to replace them £32 6-7" 7ft creo post !!! I'll be a bit more careful where I use them from now on, the general impression I was given is that the creosote post job is about knackered with both the timber and treatment too hard to come by.Priced some up the other day, £18 a piece... Didn't get them, just put a 4" post in and I'll sort it when it goes slack
When we first introduced the recycled plastic posts they were more than double the price of creosoted softwood...now about 20-30% dearer: a 150mm pointed round, 2.25m, is £48.29. They should last 50+years. We also offer 100mm rounds which are ideal for cattle fencing:I don't keep much stock about me but I did a little job last week and priced up the materials to replace them £32 6-7" 7ft creo post !!!
