How would you like to buy timber fencing that is not full of chemicals & will last 50+ years

Can you show us any pics? A bit of a storyline as well, to go with the pics?

It isn't for everyone - we all love hanging onto tradition, even if it's a weight around our necks

we use these, can drive over them with a tractor and they stand up behind you, take about 250kg of upward pressure to pull out

it's rather invisible once up, we use 1.6mm HT which is a lot lighter than 2.5mm (1680m vs 650m per 25kgs)

Hopefully now you've brexited you're allowed decent electric fence units, burn the brush off?

One of the joys is that you can just adjust the height of the wire(s) to suit the stock and the season, our worst fenceline was a 9-wire on wood posts - between grass growing up the fence and inductive coupling/leakage, a right pain in the gizzard

gives me great joy to do thisView attachment 986795and bury the dinosaur relics in the ground

Not a pretty site; is that all barbed wire?

Jeez! They look more like javelins, harpoons, or some secret WWIII weapons.

I wonder if the steel could be replaced by some other material; carbon fibre, plastic, or bamboo? Silly thinking, I suppose, but that can be the joy of think tank ideas. I have seen bamboo used for scaffolding.

Just shite steel now.
Go look at german ww2 bunkers on French coast.
Even where shells taken off dome concrete and exposed the steel, still little rust heave.
Mind you, can still see the wood grain imprint from shuttering as well in the concrete after all these years exposed to sea spray!!

Thorn won't stop stock. Sheep defoliate it opening it up, then go in under.Cattle can kick it out of the way.

Plenty of thorn around here but very little or no stock. Joe Public just throws his trash over the top of the hedges but most bung it in the hedge.

I have subdivided a field with arrow posts, think now I would probably have been better with temporary fencing actually and poly wire, but I have also put in a permanent fence on the side of a farm track with arrow posts and HT wire, and very pleased with it.

I pulled out an old 'hinge-joint net and two barb' lane fence in the last couple of days, and put up a taller (1400mm) pressure fence in its place.

It's certainly opened it up... I just used arrowposts everywhere as I figured anything else will just work loose with movement
