[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 7201965, member: 12099"] well that's a huge advantage that it doesn't flood. HT wire means High Tensile it takes and holds a strain way better and is lighter weight pro rata than ordinary steel wire of any type. It can be High tensile barbed wire (which is better and safer ) or high tensile 2.5mm wire which is commonly used in a fence line or high tensile so called 'stock fence' /net /sheep/pig square hole type netting of which 100 metre rolls of that are the most common sold/ available. but you can get longer rolls as previously mentioned. The different type s of stock nettiing are sold as 8.8.15 , (15 cm between vertical wires ) 8.80.22 (22 cm between vertical wire s ) or 8.80.30 (30 cm between vertical wires ) this important measurement between vertical wires on the stock net if wider means if a sheep puts their head through to grab a bite of grass through the fence then they will be able to pull their head back out easier and not get stuck. 22 and 30 types are fine for this where as 15cm spaces type can mean some sheep s heads can get stuck and need pulling out manually. .the only other thing is would need to check if 8.80. 30. would be eligible for grant though it might be it requires no wider gap than 8. 80. 22.) The difference between those sheep mentioned wont make much difference it will just be down the numbers of each really, the only other thing will be that heavy or later in lamb ewes wont eat quite so much.
