    I was picking up some feed this morning at the local ag merchant, and saw a display hollow post set up outside. He had the solid post indoors. Funny looking things, he mentioned €12 per post, I think that was for the solid ones (I could be wrong). JFC are saying they will last in excess of 30 years.

    Could take 30 years to save up for the fence Vander lol.

    I've a stretch of fence in some fairly wet ground that they might work well in. Walked it a while back and quite a few posts have rotted at the bottom.

    U could not justify that price, could buy rebars and use them as posts cheaper than that

    Yeah I've been doing this. Replacing the white stakes that are all shattering with age. Bog land eats through the timber posts.

    We've some split stakes in boggy ground since '99. Getting replaced this years as a neighbours horses thought it would be nicer in our field than theirs :rolleyes:

    I've noticed that the split stakes last longer in boggy ground does anyone else find that to be the case ?

    Treatment is able to penetrate in to the split stake that's why your getting better value out of your split stakes

    Got 20 of the pencil posts locally recently at €5 each. The 6ft solid post with 4" diameter is only €10 according to Agriland article. They're good enough as strainers for me anyway. Going to give them a go along a stretch of wet peat land. 30 years should see me out! I'll report back at that stage as to how I got on ;)
