It is indeed. JF Supplies, Turriff would be my local dealer. I’m sure they could either point you in the direction of a dealer near you or arrange delivery!

We have been doing our own fencing this year for an environmental scheme. By no means pros like you guys but we are getting there

Very tidy work nacnud. I am intrigued by the fence with two hot top wires. It seems like overkill - do you find it necessary withstock both sides ?

Looks tidy! There are contractors in this area who could learn a thing or two from you [emoji12]

I wouldn’t have bothered personally but it was what the customer wanted, he has pedigree cattle, so if he has bulls on both sides it will just help a bit more, will also stop them scratching on the side without the wire.

Yeah, with the rockspike. I didnt actually drive it the way that photo is taken I drove it with the flat side to the post after a re-think

Tidy, it's worth having a bit of 4mm mild for that job. Thicker wire and more galv so will last a bit longer in the ground.

Yeah definitely, also for underground tie backs and the like!

I tend to keep 'under ground' tie backs over ground unless unless they're going to be in the way. And use three wraps of 2.5mm ht.

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

Was that a particular brand?

It is amazing the difference an extra 3 inches makes! I do find them short but the 1.6s can be handy for hard ground!
