Do you think customers appreciate the amount of work that goes into fencing somewhere like that? And I hope that's not a gateway.

I may be wrong but don't they put a strand on top of net around forestry's too, to take the loading of fallen trees? We only get the snow loading, like what you can get, in a couple off places round here but you might have something in the 8/9 wires though, they haven't fenced most of NZ like that for no reason. They tried it this way many decades ago but I don't think they kept up with the maintenance of re-tensioning wire and if one wire snapped there was a hole that nobody really knew how to fix, and net was easier and the rest is history.

I put my faith in the quality of Tornado HT wire. If I needed to run extra lines I think I would change supplier :-)

Ye, all fencing round here, since forever, has stock fence hard stapled to the side, There's even some hard stapling HT to the side of posts!!! (Disaster waiting to happen) Couple of fencers will hard staple to side and then tie wire off round but just twisted round not a termination knot

There's a 6x3 block driven at the angle of the bottom of the stay, up to 1m deep, if it wont go down you can dig it in sideways. There's not enough stones of the right dimensions around here and you can spend longer (all day) looking for them so its a lot easier and quicker to supply a block. I find it very annoying that merchants only stock strainers and posts and occasionally struts but I've never come across one that supplies a purpose made breast block. Sorry premnayloon but your wedge wouldn't do for me either, cant see how you can get enough ground contact, and those wedges split if you hit them too hard. Kiwis will go as far as putting 1.5-1.8m long blocks if needed so I don't see how a 30-40cm wedge is enough. Don't take it personally its just my opinion.

Never, I don't understand why its done. Would rather put a strand underneath to lift height of fence.

How long is the strain?

I don't know what's worse, cutting the tops or posting a picture with them on the ground? :-)

Gate was already there, these fields have only been fenced by hedges and barb before. That is the best gateway, there were another two gateways with puddles and mud a foot deep. not nice for working, I might put up another pic.

Ah fresh paint!
