No, non, but funnily enough there was someone on Twitter mentioned it the other day, and I looked at the link in their tweet. (horsey tweet) :oops:

I see ... [emoji6] I just don't want to put it up how I interpret the bits on the website and find out it's not 100% right ... these horsey lot can be some fussy beggars!! Mind you I don't suppose it's cheap either so it wants doing proper

I've put some up, it pretty easy, iirc there's a way round the ratchet strainer goes on, but it's all pretty straightforward.

The best way I've seen of unreeling the rail, is by having a scaffold board in the open back of a truck, with the reel laid in the bottom, then cut a slot in the board and pull it out through there.
