[QUOTE="stugordon321, post: 2200000, member: 43272"] Since going on my own I've noticed how I can be critical of new fencing work, on the other hand I will say when I see good work as well. The amount of wire fencing I see where the wire is stapled without being tied off, wires not being tensioned or just shoddy workmanship. As I say I will be the first to say if the jobs done well. I agree with brynseiri, by the time you've de-nailed & cleaned up telly graph polls & cut the points etc the customer may as well of paid for some decent new posts. They look crap anyway unless it's a gate post. My parents had some put in 40 odd years ago when they had the house built. I pulled what was left of the fence down a few weeks back & was surprised by how strong they were after all that time. The first 2ft had rotted where it was in ground but the 4ft out of the ground was still ok. They were knocked in by the old yellow driver I ask about in my last post. My way of thinking is if that driver could knock those polls in then it should be fine with normal fence posts etc even if it's a old machine. If anyone can help me find out who made them & if they still make PTO powered drivers I would be well grateful as I would like to look at one to see if I think it would be up to the job. Thanks Stu [/QUOTE]
