What Fence posts are people using in wet ground?

Not sure how good it is, but you can get Crecote, a cresote substitute, to dress stakes with.

Very cryptic - there's no creosote posts anywhere around me anymore anyway 🤔

any good stake suppliers in the Munster area? Have some forestry to fence off.

Unfortunately its rubbish.

farm relief sell stakes with 15 year guarantee

Clipex are about €9 for the 4 clip post and another euro for the plastic insulator for electric fence.

Baught large quantity posts towards the end of last year. Went for the Woodford, copper oil alturnative to creosote. Too early to see how they will go, but nothing compared a proper cressote treated post. Was a grant job, so wouldnt chance the propoer posts from NI. FRS had a Dura2 with a 15 year guarantee, almost twice the price and no proven record. Have a few small jobs to do this autumn and always like to keep a reasonable number for repairs, so may look into buying from NI.

The creosote ban is another example of european over regulation. Will result in farmers replacing posts earlier, higher costs and importing proper posts from outside of the EU.

12 plus vat.

If they last only 8 years will the sales man honour that guarantee? Has the manufacturer taken out insurance against it? I doubt it and the guarantee does not mean much.

Really should be planting hedges along any post and wired fence.

Posts will always rot, hedges not so much.

Then rightly or wrongly you have a hedge to steeple wire to if required.

Top class farmer next to me steepled barb onto his hedges when he bought the place 25 years ago, and I've never seen him with an animal break out of a field in that time.

Don't yap about it's not right to do, because ive seen it work successfully.
