Sure all westmeath fellas are like that :P0 -
Not sure if this belongs here or in a fencing thread. Put some galvanise to use of an old shed, an old pallet, old gate and tree that fell down to fill a gap. Not pretty but the place is stock proof without spending a penny.
Will send on links if images don't embed.

Who are we, pale face? :P It's my gate and have another one like it as well. Definitely my field as well. 4 acre field the far side. Has never been rented either so you won't be claiming squatters rights or anything. 0 -

just do it wrote: »Why use 2 when 1 will do
Ah no!! I'm with gg on this one. We tried that years ago for a while but rebar isn't sprung like steel in a pigtail stake and will bend in a hoop. also weighs a ton.. aaannd with all that steel they can earth too easily, especially in wet weather. There's 3 reasons why I don't use them!
I remember Stan had steel rods welded onto his reels. Why I could never fathom. All that extra weight. I use a pigtail post to prop it up where it hooks into main fence line.
10 light white posts and a reel is the most my two hands can carry. Quads smads.0 -

With farm safety in mind I think its time I upgraded from a pallet and pallet forks! My loader isn't self levelling though and just looking for any clever ideas on how to design the basket on some sort of swivel so that it keeps its own level.
one of many - sure someone has better
hang the basket from the top edge on pivots
put a hydraulic ram between the basket and arm with a pipe joining end and a valve in the middle to stop it swaying from the force of the power washer and to stop it flipping upside down and dumping you out
