premnayloon Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 In light of tepapas comment regarding him having the great idea of carrying a collection of wire samples. I was wondering if there is scope for tornado to offer samples of different specs of mesh, I was thinking perhaps the condemned rolls could be used for such a thing, if you were to have a sample of each spec, then an accompanying list of different gauge, I.e ht, ms, med.light etc, and the different lengths of rolls. And of course I would be willing to pay for such a thing to cover tornados time, and effort, and scrap value, Was just a thought if that's not possible perhaps a picture of each product.

Rossco Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 That's a really good idea to put in the contractors packs people like to look at there options it can only premot tornado s products and different wire specifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAWYERFENCING Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I thought that this was a good idea,it would be good to show the customer some of the different specs on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goaty Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 A good suggestion, we could start our own from offcuts from jobs. You would only want to carry them when quoting. I find space runs out and somehow you always lack a tool you should of brought to the job, despite having a tool carrying/storage system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffencing Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 A very good idea, I was asked to provide a sample for a deer fence, I had an offcut, but it had been in the nettles for x years so wasn't the best way to sell the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonE Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I can certainly look at the viability of doing this (without promising it will be possible!!!) could you suggest a (short) list of the wire samples that would be useful to you. could you also let me know your thoughts on how you would want these presented. John was talking about having comparative nets joined together, is this the way you would want it to be done? Are you demonstrating spacings or knots or both? Realistically we are unlikely to be able to get anything done this side of the show season, but it may be possible for September/October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Personally I would go for, 8/80/15 8/80/22 6/83/22. R12/110/8. R13/120/5. And a sample of the different knots, and also a sample of titan barbed just to compare to mild steel I've a job getting my customers off the ms barbed, they think 1.6 is too thin but don't know their is the intermediate titan barbed. They could just one section of each by that I mean if there are 8 lines then a strip of that and so on, how about presenting them looped through a short piece of each grade of barbed, (just to please robbell! ) sorry Robert!

ffencing Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 A 1 metre section of each of the main sizes, to demonstrate spacings, knots and overall appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goaty Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 A section to include just the full height and 1 pair of vertical wires. Possibly all joined in a book form hinged at the bottom. Then lay it on the floor and lift each page up against proposed boundary or fence location to show the differences. Rabbit, chicken, stock and the various mesh sizes but not tall pieces of deer etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tepapa Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Personally I would just need, HT 8/80/15- 8/80/22- 8/80/30 and pheasant friendly HT????? (if joinable) one of each square all joined together to make it just over a meter wide to give a visible sample and equine r 13/120/5 r13/120/8, I think you could just hide a line or two to demonstrate shorter nets or shorter nets crimped to taller ones to show height difference?

SAWYERFENCING Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Just a suggestion, I'm not sure if it is possible but could the actual size pictures be printed on laminated a3 sheets or may be slightly bigger and presented in a sort of ring binder ,it would be quite large but might be easier than carrying all different sizes of netting.

premnayloon Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I think the issue with that could be that it's the fact the customer can feel the thickness of wires, actually see the different . Knots in 3d, and certainly for me if it was the barbed unless you gave a same of both folk would struggle to see on a pic the difference in thickness between the three types, I can see your point but it could be the actual ability to feel the product that would make someone mind up, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 How about one section of each product full height one square in width people like to see the gauge and height width of square in a folder like the contractor pack light and easier vehicle storage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
