Clipex Fencing

[Agriclegend]

I don't know whether the prices of Clipex vs Hampton Steel vary according to the size of the order. Hampton Steel products are sold through Mole Avon down in the South West and I have been quoted circa £4.58 per post ex. vat for standard intermediate posts and £69 for end strainers (one way). This compares with £5.12 per post for Clipex standard posts and £76 for end strainers (one way). Clipex prices have increased around 15-20% on last year which is why I have looked at the prices of the competition.

Hi, yes as Clipex is made solely for us, but as you'll be aware it is an Australian invention, so is imported we have suffered on the exchange rate post Brexit around 15% plus the price of zinc has increased hugely. One of the main agricultural product manufacturers, IAE has had a similar prices increases because of the material costs, we are currently selling huge amounts and therefore have to re-stock at the increased prices.

We are aware Hampton's have increased all their other products by over 15% it may be so their prices are for their existing stock. You may wish to consider the Eco post which works with standard hinge joint stock fence as this is more comparable at 2.5mm to the Hampton post where as our standard post is 3mm and much stronger. There is also the issue that the Clipex post and Staplelok post aren't a like for like product but obviously if both are suitable for your fencing and terrain then price is of course an issue for you.

It has 10 clips so 8 for the C8-80-15 hinge joint then 2 clips at the top for two lines of barbed or line wire. It's 1.8mH same as the standard post.

Sorry i didn't ask clearly. How many of the 8netting clips line up to standard hinge joint.
Also i know you cant please everyone and you only import but could you put clip for a ground wire on the eco posts even if you lost a top barb?

The Eco post is designed to take every line wire on the C8-80-15, it is the standard post that has the extra bottom clip for line wire and still the extra clips at the top but the standard posts are for our XHT8-80 wire options. Hope this clarifies for you.

I was in Glyn Ceiriog at the weekend and saw some clipex fencing on some very steep hill land.
I must say it looked excellent. They had used Clipex strainers and seemed to be doing the job well.

How do these metal posts cope with a suckler cow leaning over or rubbing on them?

That's the one. We rode alongside it in the Lomax motorcycle trial!
Looked straight and even. How did you deal with it if you hit stone?

Well ime the wooden ones snap like a carrot and the metal just stands there.

Only indirectly a clipex question, what other brands of net have one piece verticals like X-fence?

I need to do a curve using rock posts - what spacing should I go for? And what sort of resin do I need to glue the rock posts in with?
