    Thanks for the info. Is the market still in the same condition or has it changed with the installation of more biomass boilers ?

    Hi John, What system do you use and what output do you achieve. I'm tentatively looking at going into production so any help or info you can give would be grestly appreciated. Thanks

    Bread and jam sandwiches and you can still have another processor
  4. caledonian bob
    Is that wise Jake, you will just end up buying another processor !!

    Creosoted post and rail will stop them eating it or an Equine net 1.25m high with 50mm or 75mm vertical spacing and perhaps an electric on top.

    These people are utter scum, stealing a guys work tools is the lowest of low. Tom, you seem to be having a run of bad luck with equipment being stolen.

    QTS, one of the biggest arb companies on your doorstep, OK they do have their own grinders but always worth knocking their door, you just never know !

    Can't slate the English, I work for an English company and it's just the same in Scotland. Tying to a strainer can either be done by wraping the wire around the strainer and tying as normal or you can ues Gripple "T" clips which is the prefered method.

    Apologies for what has become a hi-jack of you'r thread. If you can get the more durable timber in the quantity you require, go for it. Alternatively you are looking at either pressure treated creosote or Class 4.

    Clipex has been used in Argyll in what you call "real world" conditions with great success. Yes each post does have to be knocked into the full depth but it is equally bad practice to cut the top off wooden posts and posts which last perhaps 5 - 10 years at best look expensive in comparisson. The Clipex posts are easier to knock in as you have a much reduced displacement compaired to wooden posts. As I have said previously it's not the answer to all the fencing problems (there isn't one) but is is a fantastic inovation and like anything else should be judged on it's merits. If you want to try it let me know.

    Sorry, no pictures only feedback from others who have used it. It obviously has worked for you for what ever reason so happy days.
  13. caledonian bob
    The options realy are Class 4, pressure treated creosote, some of the more durable timbers although they are in short supply for fence timber or steel posts.
  14. caledonian bob
    Not good if the post has a high moisture content also prone to being scratched/cut while being knocked in.

    True I am going to promote it but aside from that it is a product that I believe in. The guarantee is valid no matter where in the country you are situated. More than happy to bring it to Aberdeenshire.

    No such thing as a Clipex rep. It's all sold through us. What is "clipped wire" ?
  17. caledonian bob
    Thant's because their net is a slightly different spec. What is wrong with buying it as a complete package which is how the majority of fening is bought ?

    Standard post £4.40

    Not so much what you are sealing out but what you are sealing in.
  20. caledonian bob
    Totally wrong on both counts. Why give a 30 year guarantee on a post for temporary fencing It can be used with any net which fits. It was initally produced to fit X Fence which is the most durable net on the planet. It will also fit our own net but will also fit any net which has the same spec. I take it from your comment that you have no first hand experience of Clipex ?
  21. caledonian bob
    Yes, simple answer, DON'T
  22. caledonian bob
    I manage their Scottish depot. Clipex is the best thing to hit the fencing industry since Noah built the Ark. Cost effective, quick to erect with minimal machinery and a 30 year guarantee. OK I do work for them, but it is an honest view from someone who has first hand experience of it. Tell me where you are located and I'll give you the number of your nearest depot.

    Bad things can happen so quickly in this industry. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

    You could try Industrial Access Systems, Queenslie, Glasgow. I've hired form them a few times but not for a couple of years. Had good kit and decent service. Tracked, Powered Access Platforms for Sale, Hire | PASMA, IPAF Training in Scotland

    I was brought up with Border Terriers, great with kids and fantastic at vermin control. I was not a fan of Jack Russels until my kids persuaded me to get one but now we've had him for almost 12 years I've changed my mind totally. Probably the most intelligent dog I've had the pleasure of owning. Great at vermin control but as has been said can be a bit nippy with children if they push it too far.
