Tim I'm wondering if you had thought about using the heat shrinking bitumen sleeving that you can now buy on the lower couple of feet of your post's?. Even though your post are obviously well treated I was wondering about how long they will last especially when you have mentioned that the area is basically a very wet area and is prone to flooding etc, knowing that you're post's are really going to be lasting less time overall than they would have in normal conditions I was wondering if you had considered using the bitumen product I mentioned to help with the overall lifespan of the post's especially when you can purchase a 5 meter sleeve for around £20 or so ?
It’s not actually been as wet there as I thought so these good posts should last a good while. I’m actually looking to stitch to Clipex steel posts for some of the jobs which will outlast anything timber especially as grants will now cover that. Not sure how sleeves would stand up to being knocked in hard ground either?
When the contractor lays the ground wire for setting out does he then tie it off and leave it in situ? Or does this get removes once the stock fence is fixed?
It would be interesting to see a map of your property showing where all this fencing is being placed. Thanks for the wonderful videos.
Now thats how you put a fence up. Everyone to they're own trade and stuff like this is best left to the folk with the right kit. Thanks for sharing.
First, love these, even though I’ve seen it on the other channel, I’ll watch again!
You have to smile at the armchair veiwers. You do what's best for you, and by the way, you are doing great job. Love the videos.
You and Clarkson's Farm provide all my countryside watching. Another fascinating reel.

How expensive is it to do this? Can you provide a link to the comapany?

Left in. That way you can keep the net of the ground a bit and in this case it’s barbed to stop the pigs rooting under.
