Fence hooks

[Cows 'n grass]

Does anyone know where I can get hooks like this to hold stock net up against plain/barbed wire?

no sorry.

but couldnt you just run another ht plain wire(s) through at the height required it to be supported on and then just hog ring it to the net. iyswim.

it all comes down to good straining post s really, the in betweens arent no where near asimportant

I think this might be the answer, it's mostly dead straight with reasonably strainers. The whole fence has seen better days but I don't have enough security on the ground to re do it all but I do need to keep it looking tidy.

It's 1000m of private drive going down to a stately home through parkland so I'm not sure the landlord would like cable ties.

We have run a plain wire along and used these

Very straight forward to do as long asthe s trainers are sound.
Use 2.5 ht and one medium gripple use gripple tool to tension then use ( make sure ally ones as they wont rust) hog rings every now and then along it

That would do the job with a plan wire. What would you call that tool?

tbh sometimes i find them ones aa bit lack lustre , ive 2 o 3 different types but not these https://hls-products.com/sea-fishin...link-clips.html#/size-3_8/number_in_pack-1000 be a lot stronger just need the right pliers, bit more fiddly as not auto but fewer and stronger might be the way to go sometimes im thinking..

If the strainers are sound, can you not retension the wire (with 8 Gripples perhaps)? If it's sagging between the intermediate posts the wires too slack.

Strainrite do something similar, mv parker would be worth a call.

spray a 8 inch band under the fence to stop the growth pulling the wire down

Originally the fence was just stock net with a plain wire on top. The hooks stop the cows putting their heads through and stretching the stock netting down.

Simple then, just put another strand barb ( ht) just a bit above the pig net.
