GMS Timber Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 Hi again gents,I've been married to, against my own will, 15 pallets of 1.65m x 85mm UC4 machine rounds. Now I've been trying to sell them to chicken, rabbit and other small critter farms, tree plant companies etc. I'm really at a loss to where else could these be used. Any and all advice would be kindly appreciated! Thanks!
Goaty Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 Allotments, landscapers for tree stakes rabbit net buried in fence round new hedges etc. Should shift aload over the winter months. When they've gone everyone will want them.
tepapa Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 They're normal size agri fence posts round here, so will do any stock fence.
GMS Timber Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Posted August 30, 2016 Do you use them often, Tepapa ? Or do your customers tend to use the 50mm - 75mm width ?
tepapa Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 Don't use tanalised UC4 often but when I do its that size. 50/75mm would be too small for me.
Ajmoore1 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 Yep pretty much what we use for stock fencing. Sure most farmers would buy them if there the correct price. Think we are paying £2 ish a post.
GMS Timber Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks for all the replies guys, I really do appreciate your input and it really helps me. I'll be concentrating more on local farmers. Yep pretty much what we use for stock fencing. Sure most farmers would buy them if there the correct price. Think we are paying £2 ish a post. I believe our price is correct as I have yet to find a better retail price for the same product.
GMS Timber Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Posted September 12, 2016 Hello again,Don't want to create new topics, but I need some advice again. Got some 2.4m x 200mm and 150mm machine rounds. Where are they mostly used in fencing ?
tepapa Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 200s are either gate posts or strainers, 150s strainers for livestock fencing. Ur starting to make me worry now, u don't seem to know what ur stock is for.
Goaty Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 2.4 could be used for box strainers. As tepapa says you might be better off researching before buying. Plenty of free advice on the web. Other merchants will sometimes have quite a bit of info.
GMS Timber Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Posted September 13, 2016 I bought them because I had a client for them, but I still have some left over and didn't ask what he was using them for. I appreciate you worrying on my behalf, but please don't lose sleep over me, I'll manage somehow Thanks for the help!
