[QUOTE="Fencemaster, post: 4019694, member: 67648"] Look, as you can see from other people posting on this site their is a serious problem with timber fencing. Apart from the cost of repeatedly having to replace it, there is the labour costs, the replacing of the wire, as well of the time element.. I appreciate that there are many thoughts on the reasons fencing is prematurely failing! the truth is there is only one!! You Are Using The Wrong Timber! I can assure you that the posts you have got are from a home-grown mill and will be 100% Spruce, if you take one of the posts, cut it in half and inspect it, you will see the treatment will not have penetrated 1mm into the post, now take a Redwood (Pine) post do the same procedure and you will see the treatment will have penetrated 100% of the sapwood. The differences? the Spruce post will rot in 12-18 months, The Pine post will last a minimum 20 years. The Spruce posts are not the good buy you thought they were!! Tell your supplier you will only use UC4 treated Redwood posts in future, and your fencing nightmare will be a thing of the past [/QUOTE]
