[QUOTE="stugordon321, post: 2134172, member: 43272"] Hi all. Not sure if this is the right place for this post but here goes. Out of curiosity to what standard would you as a paying customer expect from a fencing contractor? My reason for asking is yesterday I passed this field that had some proper kit 3 big tractors with Parmitter drivers on the 3pt linkage. On way back from work passing said fields I noticed how shockingly sh:t there work was. Half the posts were put in so p:seed I couldn't belive they could expect to get paid for the job. Admittedly I was impressed by the amount of fencing they had done in the time given. They were erecting post & stock fencing. I'm unsure from looking at it if this is intended to permanent or tempery but even so surely the quality of work should still be upto standard. There's some civil engineering wrk going on as there were a few mini diggers & bigger 360s around some of the fields doing some big project. The fencing was done by what I assume to be proper fencing contractor by the kit they were using. I'm a fencer by trade, slowly establishing my own fencing business (mainly domestic housing etc) although I have & do agricultural fencing & in process of getting the machinery together to do more agricultural wrk (tractor & post driver etc) As a paying customer even "if" the fence is tempary or perminant too what standard of work would you expect ? Due to lack of funds so for any agricultural fencing I done I've either put the posts in with a hand held post knocker (tube with handles ) or dug holes out by hand with graft & either back filled & consolideded the soil bit by bit as I back fill or dig & concrete each post hole ( mainly for gate posts ) keeping every post true & level. I wouldn't be happy knowing I'd been paid good money for doing such a sh:t job. What as farmers & paying customers would you expect from a fencing contractor ?? I'm interested to hear if you would be happy to pay for p:seed posts & that don't run in a straight & true line. Thanks Stu. [/QUOTE]
