how long do you think the wire lasts? A good 30 years on the top of the farm (at 1000') and maybe 15 years more in a more benign climate?Same timber treated with the same chemical but they will last longer then the "cheaper" alternative. Figure that one out
I pulled some 15yr warranty ones out last week. They'd been In 7 years and most were still in good condition. Whether they'd all last 15 years is a different question but they had lasted 7 yrs with minimal rot.
But 15 yrs is naff all in the life of a fence.
Easily do 30 yrs but it will begin to fail between 30 and 40yrs, rusting through. You can help reduce this by changing any barb wire above that will begin rusting between 25-30 years and which will wash down to the netting belowhow long do you think the wire lasts?

I was talking to Dave when he was hedge cutting here, about creosoted posts, and apart from him mentioning he did a fencing job for someone, grant aided and the consultant took 1/3 of the grant, just for taking a few photos and pegging out the fence line! The thing that struck with me was his comment "the Welsh Assembly don't want us farmers here".Easily do 30 yrs but it will begin to fail between 30 and 40yrs, rusting through.

I was looking at a fence yesterday that's under 10 years old and noticed the staples were seriously rusty damaging the wire.Easily do 30 yrs but it will begin to fail between 30 and 40yrs, rusting through.

If staples get wet for a while before they're driven, they get white rust very quickly, which then rusts in a year or 2. This is because the tips of staples are not galvanized. Had to throw out a bucket a year ago, where rain got into them.I was looking at a fence yesterday that's under 10 years old and noticed the staples were seriously rusty damaging the wire.
New staples as well as new stakes required on that one this winter
"Sea air"Never staple on the knots I was told by an old boy up near the coast the staple holds the sea air rusting the wire on the knot.
They'll be shite
Twice the price are they???They'll be shite
Think there planning on being more expensive than creosote and I bet they don't last any longer then tanalised.Twice the price are they???
40 yrs crystal ball needed then is it?Think there planning on being more expensive than creosote and I bet they don't last any longer then tanalised.
That's 40yr life expectancy, no warranty or guarantee.40 yrs crystal ball needed then is it?
That’s a big expectancy though they must be expecting them to be better than tantashiteThat's 40yr life expectancy, no warranty or guarantee.
Soaking tanalised posts in waste oil Is proven not to be effective. They can promote this product as the new saviour to fencing all they want but they can't change facts. Posts will need to be super dry to make a difference and scampole love to cut corners so good luck with that.
I can assure you the only thing scampole care about is their profit margin .That’s a big expectancy though they must be expecting them to be better than tantashite
