but in order to do this they have had to invest in some serious post banging machinery, a contractor model post knocker is around 10k and thats before the tractor, digger, auger, wire rollers etc. whereas backgarden type fencing can be done with a spade and a spirit level so therefore cheaper contractors are generally compromising elsewhere:sneaky2:

 

this is what the guy who does a bit for me uses, not much use in Mrs Miggins back yard though :thumbup: his fencing is some of the best i have seen

The thing i find with some so called fencers(large companies incl) is that they use 5ft posts that are hardly in the ground but does look good when finished.A blast of wind or cattle pushing then it doesnt look so good.

My moto is do the job properly first time and you dont need to go back.

i agree volvo when i was in auz they had to drill there posts in to the ground and they said that the post holding strength was porportional to the depth of the post in the ground Squared X the size of flat area on the base of the post

 

ie a post 1' in is only 1unit

but a 2' is 4unit ie 4times better held in the ground

 

ps that guy is missing one of the more usefull things on that driver the rock spike as they brillent for driving strainers in to the ground enven if there is no rock
