The Fencing Picture Thread

[Jabennett]

@agrotron they were the ones i tried. Not too sure on who else to try round here. Any recommendations?

I think it might be g Lloydsold vector. Harrison's machinery never told me just said he'd got a new one. It's defiantly seen some posts. But seems to work well enough

Got a bad leak on the spool block of the tractor. Seems to leak loads of oil when hoses are plugged in. Not quite sure why. Either way had to stop today, once I'd got the spike free

A question for you experienced fencers. I want to fence a section where the ground goes up and down over a small hump between two strainers. I think that if I try to pull up stock net here it will go tight at the top but stay baggy at the bottom. Whats the way round this, or if I keep pulling will net stretch more on top than below?

Cut the netting where you think there will be a problem, put in a set of gripples with which you can take up any slack lines after tensioning, always pays to dig off any humps and bumps before fixing a fence if possible, but i appreciate it might not always be possible,

In case you haven't ,that knocker will need a free flow return straight into the back end of the tractor on a 3/4" fitting, oil shouldn't return though the spool valve.
Could just be the little oil seal in the coupler has gone, (black and white rings) easy enough to replace.

If it goes over a small hump, it should pull up even. I suppose you need to define small.

That one did catch me out at first. Had to have the tractor adaptated. Being an old ford it didn't have the fitting already. Is there oil seals in the spools on the tractor? Was leaking when splitting wood just seems to have got ten times worse!

Just noticed @tepapa your from north wales. Which part if you don't mind me asking?

Edit** YouTube is a wonderful thing. I'll be heading Atkinsons Monday for a new seal kit

Bit hard goin on post and rail this week. Only got the spike stuck once so far!

 

[JohnD]

i bury the foot of my stays. i use my own system. which i don't want to reveal on here.
it uses basic physics and is physically demanding to do but its a method ive yet to have fail.
i don't like them jammed against the first intermediate and then that post wired to strainer.yet many contractors seem to find that acceptable

Your secrets safe with me

If you don't mind me asking what's your method to get it free? I had to hand dig around then use a hammer drill

 

[Tubbylew]

I trickled some water around it and gave it a wiggle with the tractor arms applying some upwards pressure i.e the front wheels were just off the ground, not an experience i wish to repeat in a hurry!

I’ve got mine free by pushing the mast leg down but did once have to get a telehandler and chain

 

[Mouser]

Anybody using rylock high tensile barbed having bother with it breaking? Looks to be a manufacturing fault

The finished article.

You will be banished to the pits of hell for using a strainer posts to hang a gate from. Not much for a gate post and 5 bits of rail

You just tie the gate to the strainer instead. Baler twine is usually cheap.

 

[Y Fan Wen]

In England it's considered best practice to set a separate gate post and rail between it and the strainer, keeping both separate from each other. Then when useless tractor drivers hit the gate post the fence should be still intact. In wales you'd have a job getting a farmer to pay for a separate post.

Glastir requires separate strainers and hangers so it's getting more common now.

Yes glastir is almost the only time I'm asked to is separate posts. Well they don't actually ask to, more the question why I have used extra posts and I have to explain the spec.

If your stainers are in well and properly strutted you shouldn't have a problem
