[emoji1360] seeing some 'contractors' on Facebook not even bothering to tie off, just hard stapling and cutting, done with a quickfencer I think. I'd go off my nut if I paid someone to put up a fence with creo posts and wire work like that.
I'll fight the side of farmers and hard stapling!! I've lots and lots of short pulls on this farm. Fenced a river off couple of winters ago and used 100 strainers in 1500m I wouldn't like to tie all of those!!!

Mate just got a Montana type for around £400 which is about half the cost of a Stockade I think - reckons it's great so far and thinks it'll save a lot of time. Anyone used a Senco/Montana/alternative staple gun for a while to see what they're like or know how they compare to the Stockade?

Do you mean the stay is too high? If so it has been lowered and shortened.
Ye, stay too high for me so at least that's lowered by why shorten the stay? Have they made a block for the strut too?
I cringe when I see that photo you posted and they have just used a tanalised post as a block, because that is going to last as long as the post, ye right.

Just discovered this great thread. I wouldn't mind seeing some up close pictures of knots used to tie wire at straning posts and joining sheep wire coils under tension. There are lots of videos of various knots on Youtube but I'd like to know what farmers/contractors actually use (and why).
