Post Driver

Ah right, I saw a solar farm with Galv posts while on my travels over Christmas. I must have seen a dozen or more on the way to Cornwall and the one with Galv posts would be my choice if I had to bet which would last the 25 years of a Solar contract.

Nice work ????

Was this job next to the M4?

Was this job in Australia?

Ah ok, wondered if there was a guage on the Solonet or something.  The rule of thumb is the tensions curves in the netting, should be reduced by half in size once its correctly tensioned.

Have you got a Strainrite guage that hooks on?

How do you get on with that Estwing?  My brother got a Vaughn the other day and that's a nice hammer

Aye,  just a 3 ton machine

Thanks for the feedback all,  glad I'm on the right track

Yeh pretty much.  We set out the exercise track that the fence borders first,  then once that was dug out and surfaced built the fence to it.  Took a bit of setting out to get it parallel,  and then form the radius on each end. 

Aye, 100x100.  We normally use rounds,  but struggling to get 9ft 4-5s at the minute as they are all going for solar farm fencing  

That material looks second hand because it is!  We put the fence up and 12 months later the council made the farmer move it out into his crop because it wasn't wide enough for horses.  All to do with some Oaks in the bridleway so the fence had to be 3m off them and not 3m off the fence the other side.  loads of room for horse and rider but still had to be moved.  Was good to meet the footpath officer mind so we ring him now if we have any queries and confirmation of the law. 

Aye,  great tractor and fair price.  The air conditioning unit sticking out at the back there blocks your view a bit when reversing under branches or when in the woods.   But apart from that we have been well pleased.

Thanks, appreciate that.  It's a bit old now that pic,  need to get my pictures sorted out 

Tidy work there.  Only thing I might add is that if you ease the staples out a few mm to release the wire,  this will let it move round nearer the centre and help to alleviate posts rotation.

No offence intended

Hi, how have you got a tension guage on the netting?  Didnt think that was possible given the tension curves?
