Are you in Shetland? If so can you answer me this, why does everyone use square posts?

Square posts are the norm in Scotland

They hold far better than rounds

Any of the fencers here put up much estate fencing? Was looking at some for around a property which has a field behind - is it sturdy enough for livestock fencing (sucklers & sheep)?

You can get off set electric fence insulators for it, if that helps.
you can run stock net along it, for sheep.

What heights everyone putting 2 strand barb wire fencing and distance between wires ?

 

[sheepdip]

Do you think it is better to put the tension springs in the middle of the run, rather than the end? I put them in at the end.

I notice you have used the metal clips, rather than the plastic insulators on the fibreglass posts, I wonder which are better? I used the plastic ones (partly as the metal ones were out of stock).

This is our helicopter on pipeline patrol in the midlands looking for anyone working near to our client's pipelineView attachment 528814

This is him coming in for a closer look after seeing a 360 close to our pipeline.View attachment 528816

This is our ground crew's photo of the area. A tidy bit of fencing unfortunately it has been constructed over our pipeline without us being notified about it first.

This is the photo of the strainer when exposed. 250mm between the bottom of the post and the top of the pipe. A little bit deeper and it would have cost the landowner in excess of 30 million and maybe death to the fencing contractor as we normally pump at 100 bar and yes some days it is pumping petrol !!!View attachment 528826

Thanks for info. Do you cover N.Ireland?

Going to put up a fence and will be using concrete posts with rail. To protect from animals in field side I was going to install some runs of barb or HT pigwire on back of the concrete posts. Was wondering if any of the Clipex style posts could be bolted to the back of the concrete post?

Or has anyone got photos of something equivalent?

2” above net, then 5/6” above that strand

I honestly didn't know if I had the mental fortitude to complete this job. Just over 400 meters of fence, by hand in some of the most challenging ground I've experienced, from hard as iron to soft as porridge, undulating wildly in places, nearly too steep to stand up in others, only hit my head with the man killer once, questioned my life choices many times, everything carried in about 300m at the furthest, slung down into the gorge at the closest. Fences like this certainly make you appreciate oil pressure and the ability to even get the truck handy to the fenceline. It certainly isn't the best fence I've put up but it definately the best I could do under the circumstances with my ability.

I was going to ask was it all hand work. I don't think I would have been able to do what you have done, very well done. I was looking at McVeeParker petrol post knockers at Sheep 2022, I think if I had that to do, I would have stumped up the £1400!

Yeah all hand work, I don't know if they're worth the faff or not tbh, maybe in soft ground, but I think they'd have to be heavier to do much good which defeats the object, it's a fair bit of cash to splash out if it doesn't work, same as a post hole borer maybe had one hole that wasn't full of stones or roots, but it didn't take much digging with the spade.

You are some man, my arthritic wrists would never handle that ,
Go and have a rest and refreshment you deserve it

 

[Oscar]

Good effort @Tubbylew !!!
Where you have put a strut into a stainer post , how have you made the hole for the square to fit in the strainer ??? Very tidy and neat from photos . Is it all by hand with Chisel/hammer or chainsaw/ drill bit and then hand ??

Good effort, those jobs are definitely character building, would have been a good opportunity to try clipex.

Petrol post drivers are fantastic on metal posts and pretty useless on timber post.
