Aye

A good made post like that will save a lot of time by no having to be replacing it

Will look good when you've installed a few more and made enough time to trim the hedge šŸ‘

I love Holly.
Its one of the few shrubs /trees that we find sheep wont browse.

Installed six full sets in the last week or so, very high gateway to field ratio here, which is a bit of a pita and definitely costly.
rail line is a bit dear now and harder to get so its back to concrete (but if they are not really heavy made they can crack if driven into ) and galv. ms. nowadays.

ideal would be some 7'6" 7x 4 of a good weight rsj with hangings welded on then sent to the galvanisers i reckon.

I trust that you were true to your user name and ran your tractor on red diesel.
I studied the guidelines carefully and concluded that as the tractor hasn't been filled up since 1997 (about the time of its last oil change), it is still legitimately running its tank down according to HMRC rules. Although we were working at "Mrs Fred's dad's", he actually passed away several years ago and his bungalow, along with the access lane, now belong to Mrs Fred who is a vital and irreplaceable part of the farm's operation. The fence also forms one side of Mrs Fred's livestock operation keeping in chickens, guinea pigs, spaniel etc.
