Fencing for sheep

[Willie adie]

James Jones timber has gone up 11% since June, apparently " covid" the reason,
The previous price rises " brexit" to blame,.
I guarantee now another price rise when a " no deal brexit" is confirmed, funny how any reason appears to be good enough to justify I price rise

Will that size work with Clipex fencing?

yes, but the eco posts
especially the 8 80 30 because the wide spacing helps as well in that respect.
start at the bottom with the net and then 2 ht wires or barb at the top

rock and roll.

I've just had a pallet delivered this afternoon of standard posts and beefys. The seller doesnt have the wire in stock , but wasn't too forthcoming if there wre alternatives out there. I would like to crack on.

Maybe a particular tornado one will fit, better to ask the other lads about it they will know more than me..

Clipex Fencing

Their verticle wires are mild steel . Not great . No, its not mild i asked tornado just a different grade of ht. The line wires are also the same tensile strength as x fence but more malleable as there is less carbon in the wire compared to X fence to make tying off easier but is no weaker. X...

Use wire netting with a strand of barbed on top or electric would be better for cattle

I have used Tornado Torus for all fencing for several years now. The vertical spacing is the same as standard wire, so might not fit on anything but the ecoposts? I was led to believe the more expensive Xfence has different spacing between line wires, to fit the standard Clipex posts.

Only X net will fit all the clips on clipex posts except for the eco posts which fit most netting.

Thanks for that
