stock fencing

What Gareth said. £5/m min unless it's a new fence across the middle of a level field on not too damp sand.

 

Avoid the really cheap stocknet- it's all made from recycled wire. End result is that each line has a different breaking strength/tensile properties and some lines will sag or may just break when you pull the whole lot with the clamps.

 

Hope this helps.

 

even some of the big fencing suppliers own brands are the same, you can put 200hp thru the netting clamp or fencing trailer and some of the line wires are tight as a piano wire and others are slack!

 

sub £5 a meter really wants to be for straight runs without excessive changes of direction or undulation as it doesnt take too many strainers and struts to knock the arse out of £4 a meter especially if you have a small post driver.

Another fencing team locally was using a small parmiter with 90kg weight and they said it was taking over 40 hits to drive a 6ft half round into depth, with current ground conditions my kinghitter with 350kg weight was taking 3mins to drive 6" full rounds into depth

Oooh I bet them posts are going to look a treat.

 

I think I would have called it a day if that was how it was going :biggrin:

Gripples will save you loads of effort but you just can't get the wire as tight as with monkey strainers. I really love gripples though, perfect for doing quick repair jobs when your fences have been snipped by pitbike riders.
