Are you going "professional" at the sheep.....Doing a bit of fencing, first serious fencing I have done in nearly 20 years, just repairs and botch jobs since then. Going to do a bit every year for the next few years.

Been there, done that and have got more sense than to go back without help.Are you going "professional" at the sheep.....
What part of the country are you in Ozzy?Nothing more satisifying than seen a well constructed wire fence
Actually can anyone give a price on single strand electric boundary fencing, posts as far apart as possible, usually do it myself but im getting very lazy
Also a price for a small bit of post and rail.

Bit far to go to do a bit of fencing so. I would've gotten a lad to price it if you had been closerYou would be here in under 2 hours!!

I was thinking of Ken. Paul hasn't got the post driver anymore but does a bit with Ken.You would not inflict Paul on him , but the job would be done right .
Ah no not on this job, got a lad locally to do most of it, I was only dogs body tidying up fetching extra wire or staples.Are the Macra Farm Skills days coming back gone!

We use to lamb about 400 ewes 3 times every 2 years.
It use to be all the fashion in the eighties, ye some Dorset, but most Suffolk. There was a premium for young lambs for the Christmas market.Mate why on earth would you want to do that ???? Dorsets was it ??? No wonder your called gone,,,,,
Lovely bit of fencing though
There use to be a wedding style very close to that pier, I believe, my Grandparents house use to be the Bishop's residence roughly 150/160 years ago. My grandfather always regretted removing it to widen the yard gate.I'd say that stone pier in your last photo could tell a tale or two!
Just thinking out loud.
We have a lot of Ash trees here. Many of them in need of a good pruning.
Would ash make good strainer posts?
If I was to cut them into length and leave them in the back of a shed for a few years that is.
Probably wouldnt be good enough stuff for planking. But pleanty of 8 to 10 inch thick branches in there.
Figured there would be a good reason.Ash rots very fast once cut and in contact with the ground. It will just go black and soft. I would not be a fan of it for a strainer post. It would probably be cost neutral to sell it and buy a treated softwood fencing post (although some of the treated softwood posts don't last too long either nowadays).
