Fencing posts

[ARW]

We are using calders and grandidge in Lincolnshire, proper burn your face creosote. We have had some in the past called creo posts, which is a brown tan oil and not the proper stuff but probably better than tanalised wood.

Which creosote posts, fence and forget, or octopost?

Octopost are a disaster for snapping as they are too hard , then they crack and drink water and rot from the inside out , the cresote is not gone in far enough , fence and forget will last 3 times longer.

Watching a probable repeat of Alaska: The final frontier the other night on Sky, they put up a 4 strand barbed wire bear/.cattle fence of over 1km using round metal strainers with clip in type posts in under a day in order to catch the tide back home. They had to first clear a fence line through brush and a lot of the ground looked swampy. The posts looked manufactured Clippex ?, not sure about the strainers. Seemed an impressive work rate.

I am sorry I did not get back to you, l was approached by a farming group with a request to supply them with the full range of in-ground fencing products. This has taken up a substantial part of my time and assets. You need to realize that mills producing fencing specifications are cutting sizes that are completely new to them, so they require me to pay them pro-forma. I am using the total of my available facility supplying this group.
Of course, this group are only now using these posts so they have only my word that they will last as long as I said they will.
I have no concerns, as several end uses have already committed to using only these posts for the future, they are convinced the posts will provide them with the durability they need i.e 25 years in-ground.
Only time will tell, however, I remain absolutely confident the posts will be giving good service in 50 years time.
(unfortunately) I won't be around to collect the bet.
Regards
Brian

That's still no price , do you not know how much you charged the group. Or what are you hiding.

Frustrating when people don't respond with information and price isn't it?

It's called " talking crap." Talking about having to pay upfront , what's that got to do with us. Excuses excuses and excuses .
