Has anyone successfully moved a clipex fence? Wondering whether it would be feasible for rotational grass on an arable unit?

Probably have to remove the anti-lift tabs on the posts before you erect the fence for the first time.

I didn't think I could get much below 4/metre for a complete fence, 2 barbed and 1 plain plus 8-10 strainer kits minus a bucket of staples 'and' all the hammering, I hate that job!

Wow! Clipex has gotten expensive!
The last lot of standards we bought were about £5/ standard post.
I put a clipex fence up this past week, where i wasn't happy with the fence line once it was up so took down 25 posts incl 3 beefys.
It's a fiddly job, but but didn't take too long, the net was still tensioned so that made it more fiddly as the net was trying to clip back in.
I used a farm jack/ pillar jack to get the posts out, which was easy.
I was working on my own, but I think 2 people, ideally with a tractor/loader to lift the posts and actually taking the wire down first, so unclipping and rolling the net past the post, before lifting the post, would make it pretty easy

I'd have a look at 'davles' posts. Kiwi kit brought a few over. Not as long as clipex and fit standard netting with a single wire to hold the wire in. Don't think they're cheap but I think they'd work well for the temporary option.
well they pull up bit easier or at least as easy as wooden ones ime.
would be good idea for say a 5 yr fbt then pick it up /remove

That's the exchange rate for you! How long before we reach parity with the dollar and euro?

about time they were manufactured in uk , (obv licenced ) as the product is gaining traction , it will cost them sales long term , wont be long before someone makes a similar product and will be to late .

That's why I tried Versalok which claims to be uk made.

Pallets of 14 doz. are quoted at 4.53 + v. Clips are 204.00 per thousand.
which puts them bang on eco clipex price but they can be had for that in for smaller numbers as well.
i suppose you could use less wire clips per post but there are 10 on clipex anyway which are all used in a wider spacing situiation
when were stapling wood we dont staple all wires i must amit.

I don't think you can compare clipex and versalock.
Personally I'd say clipex was stronger and more versatile/useable in different ground conditions

yea i had a quick look , posts are about a fiver , but you need 3 or 4 clips per post they are 50p each , so your up near clipex more or less

I make that 20p which is what I paid a few months ago.
I'm not sure about strength. Don't think there's much in it actually.
The advantage of Versalok is you don't have to be particularly accurate how far you drive it in, Clipex has to be just so. In Snowdonia stone is quite common!
I bought one of these to use when a crowbar won't cut it.

I've had issues with tornado torus snapping when tieing off usually it's if the twist lands on where the knot was begore stripping off
