The Fencing Picture Thread

[S J H]

@ S J H
Bottom pic- what size netting have you used, is it for horses? It looks quite high. I ask as I'm looking for a fence with some height.

It's only 800mm just standard net, with one strand of electric on top.

If I was to do it for myself, with cattle I'd have a plain wire between the net and electric, as I've had it at home, when the electric is not on they reach over and the bend the verticals in the net. I think the extra strand would protect the top of the net if you see what I mean.

Thanks @S J H
I've got to put a fence next to an arable field where there is no division, where I've split the field and I don't want the cattle leaning over to the crop.

I've also got a bit to do where I've put a new ley in and there are some horses other side who stand at the fence and I'd sooner they stayed their side as the current fence (not mine) is not the strongest.

Sam, how do you get on knocking your estate fence? Do you concrete every so often, or are they twin leg posts? Looks smart.

Haven't taken any photos for a while, here's one from a solar site last week, not too exciting. Bit sticky too.

How have you got on with the autoguide? Can it handle strainers?

 

[Lewischris]

Absolutely fine dry ground under trees just put a 4inch in first, struggles a bit with stony ground need the rock spike I think.
Bigger machine helps tho!

No they're just spade posts, I knocked them all in, it's the first I've done,

I just welded a couple of bits of plate on an old post cap, to hold them, it worked well on clay, I wouldn't try it on much else, they did whip.

I'm sure they'll be fine without concreting, it seems very strong atm and it will have electric added after.

Are you still doing many solar farms? Or have they slowed down since the change in tariffs

Not doing much solar now, only done two sites since August. You're right it's slowed down a lot, and sites are smaller. Not a great loss as working on those sites can be quite challenging, and we've luckily got plenty else on.

Anybody use a post plate like this on a protech? Has a hardox plate on top and just wondering how it sticks the abuse.

I have got one like that. Has stood up to everything i have put it through. Had it about 12months.

Finally finished155 mtrs. Over clear felled. Hag. Stumps. Ruts. Holes. Re gen sitka.
All in all a satisfactory result.

Are strainers fitted by hand as good as post driven strainers? Im guessing they aint.

 

[Ray996]

Never used wood to prop strainers,always flat stones wedged in tight with clay in between.never use concrete as over time the strainer and concrete will move in soil.never had one move in 25 years if done properly

One of the fences I've renewed this winter

Creo strainers, class 4 treated 75x75 stobs, 8/80/22 ht.

Using wire knots to join and tie off might be slower, but I'm pleased with how it looks. The net is pulled to the middle and much tighter than previous fences I've put up where they're hard stapled to the strainer and end pulled.
