    Gonna try and see if I can use 3 strand poly and a reel to try and strip graze sheep. Have those nets here but a few of the pegs are broken so pretty much unusable

    Split up a 9 acre field here started with 4 strands to get them trained to it and the rest 3 strands then. Dunno about small lambs going through it though.

    Don't want to jinx myself but I'm getting away with 2 strands here about 1' and 2 1/2 ' . Lambs aren't getting under either

    If the wire has a good shock, and they are afraid of it, you'll do.
    But I'd they get any sense that it's off, or the shock isn't so strong - they 'll run through it / over it...
    Well, that's my experience anyways... ;)

    Anyone know of anywhere in the midlands/south east that's not too bad for chain link fencing?

    Might be a bit far for ya but the FRS in Kilmac was the cheapest I could get it last year - got the staples for tieing it to the wire free as well as the loan of the gun to tie chainlink to wire as well which was handy.

    O/T a bit, but where's the best value to be had for grease? Looking to buy a few cartridges in bulk that screw into the gun, probably work out cheaper than buying 'em individually. Are all greases, e.g. LZR, EP2, more or less the same?
