Had a good look at them at Lamma today on the McVeigh Parker stand. Was impressed with what they had erected and certainly not going to be easy to pull up.
The expensive bit appears to be the strainer units at about £50 (strainer, strutt, pressure plate etc), so having a telegraph post as a strainer and clipex posts would probably be the way to go.
Will probably try some on the next fencing job, especially as the posts we used 5 years ago have already rotted. The posts that were put in 25 years ago are still going strong!
@Wooly any ideas on price per post or pallet of posts?
Their booklet says 4metre centres with high tensile net, less with mild steel.
The strainers are a lot quicker to put up than wooden, so it depends how you value your time.
I reckon that I might use it for fences that get taken down and re erected every couple of years (pig electric fence training paddocks where we use an electric fence inside a hard fence).
In the USA you see nothing but steel T posts, which would be cheaper than Clipex but more fiddly to attach wire.
