6ft fencing

[Hannah39]

Has anyone any experience of higher than standard fencing? Looking at putting a 6ft fence in to dog proof our lambing field and am wondering what the best materials would be for that height and a rough idea of cost.
Thanks

use Clipex and for strainers concrete. a 5 inch reinforced concrete post will be 9ft and (with a bit of concrete in the bottom and strutted will just about be ok height wise.
I suggest them as they will out last timber by a generation and cost very similar to a timber straining post, maybe cheaper.

how do you spell height then becos i thought the rule was i b4 e except after c

Be aware that some dog walkers carry wire snips no matter how tall you make the fence.

6ft deer fence is your best option

how do you attach the wire to the concrete post?

how do you attach the wire to the concrete post?

same as you do around a wooden strainer, or should do unless yer hard stapling

strutting is slightly more technical but ive been wiring back wherever i can , same as ido with wood when the opportunity arises ....to save strutting.

except after "old Macdonald had a farm"

Just say it out loud.

"Old Macdonald had a farm, E I E I O."

They dropped teaching that at most schools after it was pointed out there were as many certain special cases words as actually followed the rule.

You could alway try reclaimed chain link fence but your best bet would be feet fencing though I don't if there is any fence that will keep a determined dog in or out.

I was always told, the exceptions prove the rule.

I was always told, the exceptions prove the rule.

I always interpreted that to mean exactly the same as "because I said so".

Soon having some fencing done, we’ve gone for chainlink to keep the dogs in and the benefit of the close mesh to prevent the risk of a couple of them that don’t like each other making contact

been fencing for a couple of weeks and not used any staples at all.
