I once passed a little copse which had been fenced like that. There was a Welsh Mountain ewe and her twin lambs living happily inside it!

Tidy wire tying - you can beat me there....

I wind the insulated wire around the dead side of the egg too - from the post to the egg - and then thread the insulated wire through the holes in the egg before winding onto the live wire. I have had cattle chew the loose insulated wire and end up disconnecting the fence.

I wish i did that after i had done it! i might go back and tidy it up. Calves are little buggers for chewing

Can someone tell me what the best way to tie dog netting to a straining post. Im reluctant to hard staple and it’s very small wire compared to plain ht wire so wrapping plain wire and joining looks a bit ott
Many thanks

Is the an adaptor for the Senco/KMR style staple gun for putting in electric fence insulators?

Do you think the kmr staples are big enough to hold on insulators?

I'd do the shore differently (I see the date so it's done already!), the concreted in post will break eventually resulting in a ballache having to remove the set concrete. Two suggestions, instead of surrounding the post with concrete set a 4 inch pipe in there along with a bit of bent rebar. A round post should fit into the pipe to hold it in position, while you can staple a bit of plain wire to the post and tie it down to the bent rebar to stop the tide lifting it. When the post rots or a heavy sea breaks it, there's no concrete to remove, only posts to replace. The other solution is to galvanise some rebar, bigger than 1/2" which can bend, get an sds drill and bore the rock. Fit your post and tie the wire on directly.

What size posts do people use for strainers and turners. I usually use 8ft 8inch for strainers and 7 inch for turners. I have the possibility of a job fencing along a river so plenty of turns and twists. Am thinking of using 6inch for the turners and 8inch for the strainers. The job will need approx 100 turning post so quite a saving if they are up to it.

Why should turner's be any smaller than strainers?

Especially along a river side ground should be softer, I'd be tempted to use all strainers

and all creosoted, I was really surprised, the wind farm just employed a fencing contractor and I asked him how many people use creosoted posts, he said he has about 35 farms he fences for and only one uses them, all the rest (bar one who uses 15 year guarantee posts) use the normal cheat Wynnstay posts. All the fencing I do here is now creosoted as I am narked off having to go round and re do fencing that I have put up. I think a fence should be something that you erect once during your working life.
