The Fencing Picture Thread

[tepapa]

If you view the picture referred to you will see it was very poor stock fence !

Ah right. That makes sense but it wasn't clear you were referring to the pic. Totally shocking both quality and price.

Grounds to wet for fencing i would of thought, when it drys out the posts will rattle in their holes .

Got this from Wrag to add on to my driver when ever I get home. There will be no post safe now. Sent them an e mail about what I wanted they replied with a price , very easy to deal with so thumbs up to Wrag.

We hardly use any other wire now than x fence, pulls really well and is a good strong all rounder

Which wire strainer would folks recommend the hayes or the strainrite, I'm going to get a strainer and am curious as to which is better. The hayes is most expensive.

They were virtually the same. Hayes was brought by a Chinese company couple of years ago so not necessarily the same quality as once was.
Almost all my tools are strainrite so I have no problem recommending them.
Strainrite have a few different types. Standard fixed handle should be fine. Try and get a swivel one or buy a swivel separate will make it easier to use. You can also get it with a 3m chain + extra hook instead of the normal 2m with the jaw. Again makes it more versatile.

@tepapa Do you the strainrite crimps ?.

No, aren't we talking about wire strainers ?
Or do you mean use strainrite crimps?

I meant the trainers in the first post.

I've got 7 or 8 wire strainers and 2 sets of boundary strainers all strainrite.

I took this on my visit to Patagonia 3 years ago. This is the standard fence type all over the province. Seems very labour intensive doing all that threading especially as I can't imagine a way of doing it. You will note that the second from top and second from bottom are not threaded except in the 'strainer' which is probably important in the erecting process.

They do something similar in Australia with barb wire.

Well I suppose if you put up the two strands and tie the posts to them it wouldn't be so bad threading the wire through if you have a spinning jenny and just think, no stapling and no staples coming out over the years.

Ah yes, that would be the way. Which is less trouble, drilling all those holes, especially the strainer, or knocking in all those staples? I wonder how staples would behave in that arid climate?
