It really is another world .........

I see you’re using the knot jointed wire, rather than hinge jointed, what are the benefits in your experience? Knotted stuff looks good but I’ve never used it yet.

I just don’t use hinge knot anymore at all, fixed knot all the time. Stands up better when pulling, it’s stronger and easier to tie off as well. It more or less stands up on its own even when slack, it’s not much more expensive either.

Notice much difference going up and down over rough ground?

Don’t do a great deal of real undulating stuff but what I have done I haven’t seen any difference between the two no

You can’t get away with as much but just use more strainers and pulls, it does take more work but then it’s a better fence all round

Haha. It is what it is!

thanks for your reply @nacnud - yes it would be straining from each end - its a tiny short peice that ive been left with by a contractor who threw up the posts for me - and i figured i would have ago at the NZ style tie offs etc - as i dislike the hammer staples like crazy that weve had in the past.

You should put that on UK Fencing...

that uk fencing is for folk that make a decent job, who ever did those rails surely wasnt a person who is competent in fencing. im pretty sure they wouldnt be on that page.

You seem to put lots of pictures up of other peoples bad work so that one would fit in nicely with the rest!

i had issue with the wire snapping where the knot is. infact when you remove the knot you can see an indentation in the line wire that is where the wire snaps. i know of another guy that will never use it again due to it always snapping, it does pull nicely though and as long as you are careful where you twist wire for knots you should be ok

seen the same on deer fence.

does take / hold sections hogringed into place nicely tho, where repair is needed from horizontal machinery damage

From someone that doesn't do fencing, Its an art form ..........

I expect his jobs are done in dance form with appropriate music playing in the background

be my guest

 

[nacnud]

be my guest

I’m just quite surprised you aren’t willing to air this picture in front of other fencers, especially when you are normally so keen to do it? Why’s that?
