Clipex Fencing

[tepapa]

I have to say I prefer the sound of that to pulling to the middle, no waste netting and time stripping back in the tensioning process then. Do the straining clamps not bruise the galv as bad as hard stapling though?
Which are the best netting clamps please?

Wouldn't worry about bruising the galv. There is a big surface area getting clamped unlike hard stapling which has all the pressure on one spot. The link above for McVeigh's clamp will be as good as any for the money. Strainrite do a good wedge board but they're in short supply as well and probably slightly dearer. McVeigh where doing a kit of two boards with boundary strainers, might be worth asking if you plan on doing a bit.

whats beefys and how much does a clipex post cost?

Beefy posts are longer and larger in size then the standard posts for use in places where you need a stronger post. They're good posts but a little pricey. It's worth putting some mixed in with the standards to get a bit more strength if required.

Prices should be on McVeigh Parker's websites.

Has anyone tried moving a clippex fence? Wondering if this would be a viable option for rented temporary grass, within a arable rotation, when alongside a main trunk road?

We use clipex for splitting big fields for a large sheep farmer, we have a machine to roll the wire back up tight so we can use it in the quickfencer again, works very well

what spec posts and wire do you use for that?

 

[Hilly]

Standard will be fine, we don’t bother with beefys if we need them we just knock a creosote strut or strainer in

How wide would you put them ?

What are the strainer options that clipex supply? Is there two or three different types? Has anyone pictures of them? Suitable for single strand electric.

XHT8-80-22 xfence is the best, post every 10 strides depending on stocking rate and hills, we use either creosote struts and strainers or UC4 redwood timber.
Hardly ever use steel strainer post kit

is that using the “standard” posts; do you have to remove the antilift plate before use?

No we leave the anti lift plate, we only bend them out if the net is pulling up on the post
If your going for clipex always use forge knot wire, hinge joint rylock isn’t worth the scrap it’s made from, if your going to put clipex posts in every 6 metres you want high tensile forge knot, hinge joint will get pushed down in time

so the posts come up ok with the anti lift plate? don't get damaged?.....asking cos i've got some fence to put up but will need to move it to final position in winter?

I have used a strainer which hasn't been mentioned here, Clipex Eco Strainer. It is a Beefy post with a sliding clamp into which fits a stay with base plate, tension wire and peg.

Clipex® Eco Strainer

Simple and cheaper to install end/corner strainer All steel design Guaranteed for 30 years Quicker, longer lasting, and easier to install than wooden alternatives

Yes to pull them out slip a chain over the post and clamp a pair of mole grips on to stop the chain slipping, sometimes the anti lift plate gets bent back on itself so just bend it back
Another tip is to unclip the wire before you slacken it off, if you cut the wire or un-tension it the verticals on the net will slide up to the post making it hard to un-clip. We usually unclip the wire then pull the strainer up or cut it off then roll up the wire

Any experienced clipex installers near around that are interested in putting up 600 ish meters of deer fencing? Location is Hampshire/west Sussex border.

Anybody using Clipex rock posts able to give me the dimensions of the rod that goes in the ground/rock?

20mm

20mm

Thank you, and how long is it?
In your experience, what size drill do you use in order to get the right clearance?

Without measuring one I think it's 200mn long.

Either you use a 20mm hole and knock straight in or 22mm hole and use resin to glue them in. I prefer the resin method, they go in solid, I've seen the 20mm ones pop out on a bit of upward pressure. You need to clear bottom of the hole of rock dust to get full depth of the post in. I've seen myself blowing air down the hole with a tube from a dreching gun and using a pipe cleaning brush but water helps turn the dust to mud and clear the hole. You could drill deeper than needed but that can be hard work in super hard rock
