    I see a lad on DD selling high tensile 8/80/15 sheep wire at 60 Euro plus vat per 100 metres. located near Carrick on Shannon.
    Seconds.
    Going to have a look tomorrow, great value, if its as good as he claims.

    In what way is it seconds do you know? Is it just varying roll lengths?

    He says that in each roll, one or two of the upright wires snapped during manufacture. Therefore seconds. Going to take a look anyway. Not too far from me. Some rolls are 300 metres.
    Don't know the guy, never dealt with him before.

    I see, I might be close to that neck of the woods on Saturday myself. I see he has roof sheeting as well which I'm in the market for too...

    Bought some cheap rolls of 100 meter wire there a few years back. Seemed good value till it came to rolling them out......Needed a pliers in your hand for every second or third turn as the wire was all tangled, would do your head in.
    Not saying they will be like that but it put me off buying cheap wire.

    I havent dealt with that chap , but another guy here .locally used to have it a few years ago , some of the boxes were different sizes

    I used to buy off him by weight.. apparently if it was spotted on the manufacture line they would take off the roll before it was full, not saying it's the same here but bear it in mind

    EDIT just checked the ad on dd and it's the same story different roll lengths, I would'nt be too keen on that brand, would ideal for along a ditch but I wouldnt use it for paddock fencing

    is he giving a vat docket ?

    60 plus VAT for 100 metres. VAT receipt given. only 35 minutes away so will have a look anyway. Its for along hedgerows that I want it. Lots of whitethorn/ash/holly to nail it to.
    Bought few rolls of Tornado wire on Tuesday, so will be interesting to compare.

    Went down to look. Lots of rolls, but hard to judge what lengthIis in each , all different lengths. Also 8 strand and 6 and 5 strand, hi tensile and medium tensile. Got about 350 metres . Ended up at about 75 euro per 100 metres. Will know more when start unrolling.
