Price of fencing materials shooting up

[D.M.Taylor Firewood Supp]

Had a 13ton 360 digger in digging three new duck ponds for my shoot this easter wkend.Two for flighting wild ducks & one for releasing ducks on.The latter needs fencing off to keep foxes out 200metres.What a job i had to source 6ft 4"x3" fence posts or in fact any fence posts in Northumberland Cumbria or Durham.Finaly when i did source some what a expense £2.96 + vat that was for a full pallet of 160 posts plus a trip to Haltwhistle to seek them from a lad we deal with alot.

 

Seems with all these woodburners out there & us fellow firewood suppliers supplying them with logs.The price of other wood produce is shooting up.

Before somebody says it I know all about the price of standing wood/wood shortage as i buy standing timber.Never mind the price of fuel.

 

Looks like our farm & shoot fencing bill will be quite large this year.

Get some sweet chestnut posts mate, half the price of softwood and last longer too. Price has been shooting up wildly since early 2009 down here
