Clipex fencing

[S J H]

Its a medium tensile, not a true HT

Is on any better spec wise than torus @Post Driver ?

 

[S J H]

So is it just the same as torus with different spacings and a different name?

Not put tornado wire on clipex yet, but they either have a product or a knack to make it fit apparently.

I'm sure I've fitted it to clipex before, but the wires need pulling down into spaces.

What strainers are you going to use.

If i remember correct some time ago did you say you made your own strainers ,do you have any pictures of them you could post please

 

[Post Driver]

Same gauge of wires and tensile strengths and the loom is made by the Kiwi's. There could well be a difference in the coating of the wire, no comment as to who's is better, I'm not a scientist!

Then maybe a difference in quality control standards but all manufacturers have bad batches from time to time.

This was bugging me so I checked, tornado R/8/80/22 Top two and bottom three wires will fit into clipex . bit of a fiddle. They may have a different product such as pheasant friendly that may fit, I can't try that one.

You have to have the lighter duty Clippex to match with standard 8/80 rolls. These then fit properly.
Not sure if that is a ploy to prey on the mind of buyers, that you will have done a substandard job

 

[james ds]

how far are you putting the posts and are they the std post?

I use the standard posts at 5 mt spacing.

Not sure what ht tornado I had but it fit clipex no problem,the feckin Xknot I bought doesn't fit right at the lower 3.

Id say you have the Eco posts , the Xfence is millimetre perfect for the standard post.

Might be,I can't remember what I bought.

The wire came off mcveigh,I presumed it would match,didn't notice till I'd had the wire 6months as I was using up my tornado.

Yes that's your problem , just buy standard stakes and keep the Eco posts to replace timber posts in tornado wire .

Why are you using the rock post in good looking soil and beside timber stakes.

Thought it looked an odd post,rock posts don't seem to be on mcveighs website.

Scrap that,I've found them,feckin dear!

I wanted to check it would fit this morning without having to knock one in, the rock post is for rock, put pic up later!

 

[JohnBoy]

How are ye driving these posts? would a conventional tractor mounted driver be extreme overkill on them?

 

[PostHarvest]

I've used the McVeigh Parker hand rammer but you could soon make one with a bit of tube and a plate. Takes seconds to drive a post in - admittedly in boys ground.

 

[MD @Minshall Buildings]

I am thinking make them using 139mm tube

what length of tube will you use out of interest?

 

[Forever Fendt]

at least 9 ft with a 76dia tube brace tied together with 20 mm bar below ground

i used to make man killers 35 years ago and sold them to local ag merchants who stood in livestock markets i think they were 12 quid each
