What sort of money are they?An ecopost takes the standard C8 netting plus 2 wires on top, either barbed or plain. I've just bought 200 of them to life extend rotting timber posts.

Yes to the drive all.
Contractor type tool much better.
Personally I pull up some of the slack with a monkey chain before starting with the gripples. If just using gripples it'll be feet not inches.
4.95 for my last order. Depends on exchange rate.What sort of money are they?
What is the latest strainer post like, the design seems to have changed a couple of times? How much are they, list price?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.
That's my concern as well. It's got to knock in to the right depth. It's not like a wooden post that you can nail on to suit.@Mc V
see how they work on the stony ground here.
What happened to concrete posts and why is this relevant to clipex?Just having a read though the thread. For what’s its worth I have the deer fencing in this and wouldn’t recommend, many many issues. Any one remember what happened with concrete posts?! Sick to wood!

Taking him a long time to think of them so can’t be that big a issueWhat are the main issues you are having with clipex?
The trouble with waratahs is that nobody imports them into the UK, good posts otherwise.Clipex and Waratah fencing stakes. Times move on so wondering what you fencing contractors and your customers think of them.
Love the Clipex system and X fence wire. I alternate standard and beefy posts on all my fences with there clip on insulators above which are great. The posts drive in better than wooden ones in normal soil and gravel and the beefy ones are probably equally as hard to drive in as a wooden posts which is surprising. It's also great just walking along and clipping the wire in rathen than spending hours stapling! I'm not sold on the strainers. I do use them but weld extra steel on the breast plates to double the size of them which definitely makes them a lot better. The most annoying thing is as you are tensioning the wire you have to keep going back to the strainers to make sure the wire has not slipped down the strainers as you can not hit a few staples in to hold it where you want it.Clipex and Waratah fencing stakes.

Surely you'd just get a couple cheap g clamps to hold the wire at heightLove the Clipex system and X fence wire.

No fancy using box barrier ?Obvious after you've said it
Are the clipex strainers the way to go?
I'm using the stakes (even the odd beefy in soft ground! ), but setting creosote strainers and brace. Think they look far "nicer" than metal ends, but with the price difference getting less, will the creosote last for 4 decades?
