Exactly the problem we can’t quote really.I've been telling people to budget for £10 and hope for £8 but then prices went up another 20/30%
as a student, was sent to roll a grass ground, no problem, but l did point out l had no lynch pin for the drawpin, told not to worry, so off l went, field was bumpy, on a slope, anyway, pin duly hopped out, roller took off, and 50 meters or more, of 7 strand new barbed wire fence, joined the roller for company, best bit, no one could say a word to me, l had asked the manager for a pin.No idea, but I have just had an Insurance job done here after a HAAC student fell asleep at the wheel and demolished 12m of hedge and post and barbed.
Decent creo stakes to carry rails, were over 7 quid each! Strainers over a tenner I believe. rails also silly money. Grant funding really only buys the cheapest shite on the market, which IMO is a pointless exercise
Amen to thatThere’s creo and there’s creo
That it’s tan oil, but sold as creosote, there’s a big differenceAmen to that

Didn't realise the local tanning salon also treated timber
Holy f**k strainers over a tenner? You don't know your bloody bornNo idea, but I have just had an Insurance job done here after a HAAC student fell asleep at the wheel and demolished 12m of hedge and post and barbed.

I was speaking to wire rep yesterday and told him they are now at the very limit of thier price rises, folk just won't pay moreI've been telling people to budget for £10 and hope for £8 but then prices went up another 20/30%
well, I wouldn't call them strainers in all honesty, more like podgy drivers!!Holy f**k strainers over a tenner? You don't know your bloody born
I’m afraid that dipping tanalised posts in creosote doesn’t do the job, they rot off nearly just as quickly, we have a customer that’s has soaked 100’s and it doesn’t seem to make a differenceI did a few hundred metres here in Wales on my smallholding (so not a big area compared to some of you guys) a couple of months back.
I supplied the posts and strainers etc. and the contractor erected with him supplying the HT wire and a plain strand on top and along the bottom @ £4.00 pm.
Standard treated posts were £1.85 each which I have had standing in barrels of creosote for several months. He said that prices were still moving up though.
He had a nice bit of kit though.
