Give us a clue to location, soil type ie is it good ground or rock/shale, straight lines or zig zags like a crocodile's teeth and what materials, do you want 10 year max tantalised timber or Creo 30year timber.

P.s. I have no idea where Prince William lives.

Can't think that would be far out to be fair. Horse net and a top rail be even more.

You might need some special wire too, the sort that can’t be cut.

 

[S J H]

It would be very cheap at £5k @Will 1594 the rail and horse net will add a lot to the cost.

We do clipex by hand, just a one man job on solid clay. We use telegraph poles or gate posts for strainer. I would save money on the rail and have a top line of electric rope, it keeps everything off the fence, and leaning over the top, especially horses.
When we put in wooden posts, about seven years ago, the cost of the workers was more that the cost of the fencing, gates and posts.

Just had 120M of post & rail done. £4900 including VAT That included 2 x 14' wooden gates.
Creosote / wood preserver will be an annual ritual from now on.

not being funny but you have forgotten the struts , a fence wont be strained without them .it will be all wibbly wobbly floppy doppy as you pull the wire up to tension, especially the top wires ..

Remember A straining post consists of a 2 (or 3) parts .

and whats the teleporter for ?

big creosote posts for strainers and joins....use the sleeve to start the posts then push in with teleporter in good conditions....plus pulling wire up tight

Used to watch it with Mum and Dad when it came out in the late Seventies ,that and the 'sort of similar in a way.'...Enemy at the door .
Allo ,Allo was a good parody imo, funny but not disrespectful by David Croft.

imstill using concrete straining posts and scaffold pole for struts, drill holes with an earth drill i made, quite often just bang a run of clipex in by hand to save hooking up the knocker, them fences will still be up long after im gone i expect.
i see eco are a usefully bit cheaper atm as well.

To sit in the warm to eat sandwiches?

 

[Muddyroads]

Haven’t seen one since I was a kid, but presumably it’s for moving round the field very quickly.
Has the added benefit of not marking the ground when it’s wet too!
