If you see a job that needs doing..
Was thay the one being pulled out of a container by a loader?
I see the email now.
Is it Base Ireland that are the. Chemical company?
I'm not going down the grant route as I'd like to get it done in the short to medium term and it's only a few relatively short runs on a couple of acres around a dwelling house. I haven't any experience of clipex fencing and I was leaning more towards traditional timber posts. There's a bit of tidying up of trees and scrub to be done first which I'm tackling atm with a chainsaw. I'll be getting a man with a digger to gather up the bushes and clear a few drains so he could drive the posts at the same time.
In unrelated news I see David Allen Coe died.
yes
I would really lean towards the clipex fence really nice job
I've the Octo post stakes here for 16 years and there still perfect, some of them are driven into wettish ground and it hasn't affected them
Yup highly recommend clipex, you won't put up a fence as quick either
9 couples bought house gates and railings from China in 2007, plus fitted kitchens, furniture, bathroom suites, window blinds. Anyway they figured the gates and railings were rubbish and pulled on the manufacturer, his replied take them or leave them they're paid for, one house put them up, the rest were buried
On my drive this morning I seen a job done with clipex as a boundary fence beside the main road. 3 strands of barbed wire on it. Earlier in the year the hedge/trees were demolished with a digger and the fencing going on now. It triggers me no end that the fence is up and down the length of the job. It's like they were told to drive the stakes down x feet and they did that regardless of the ground undulations. Looks a shocker I think. Fence fairly tight though. Timber strainers used at the ends and along the length of the job too.
My fencing contractor says you can only use plain wire near a public road or footpath.
Really? I'll take a closer look later. It's a good bit back off the road. Would that change things?
Seemingly an ancient law. so AI says: 'In Ireland, the use of barbed wire near public roads is governed by the Barbed Wire Act, 1893, which remains in force. This act authorizes local authorities to compel landowners to remove barbed wire that constitutes a nuisance to the public highway.'
That doesn't read as strictly forbidden, but you could be asked to remove it, so probably less of an issue if well back from the road?
IIt doesn't read as forbidden at all, an idiot standing on a road can be a nuisance. If it's 6" off the road edge there's didly squat they can do about it, if closer and an historical fence it's the same, however if it's falling out on the road then they can act.
Loading up an old car and jeep that oh had this evening, a robin sitting watching us, dunno if it was giving out or saying good job but it watched us the whole time
Barbed wire and Cyclists .
Post and barb wire fence is an approved fence that is grant aided. Suits alot of situations. Granted I would not use beside a footpath, most rural roads have a grass verge area and it all comes down to common sense which is not so common.
I remember seeing a presentation from Dr John Hinds who was taking about road racing. He showed a photo of a foot that has been degloved by a barbed wire fence. Not pretty, probably a rare though!
Complaining......definitely
Would Brian or anyone know. My sister inherited an old farm house. It has a very old oil cooker, the one you start with a cotton bud. It stopped working and she wants something more simple with a timer, as the house is unoccupied and getting damp.
I was thinking an oil boiler and let the range there as is, it would not be used for cooking anyway
how long until things go belly up? Work is starting to slow down a bit especially groundwork’s, batching plants quiter, impossible to get some material’s especially insulation. Even talking to lads around Dublin they can see things slowing down. We bought some furniture during the week from a local shop, owner said she’s never been as worried, footfall gone way down and biggest worry is she can’t actually get stock. My blind guess is October.
Quoted €4400 for a 29kva esb connection for the milking parlour for a run of cable 30m from the transformer my field.Seems a bit steep?
@lmk123@lmk123 On twitter there now some man mentioned a furniture store in puntchetstown closed up and big house developer torka homes gone into liquidation so it's happening already for some.
standard charge, next one down is around €3400 for 16kva. There are rumours that they will be changing how they charge, they would then charge for labour, each pole, m of cable, transformer, nut & washer etc. would work out better for you but worse for the majority I’d say. AFAIK that’s how they charge in NI
ya, there’s a Civils company / Plant Hire not far from me, he has a hell of a lot of gear parked up the last 2 months
For your interest, there's a fencing event at Clonmel Show on 5th July. This includes a competition and trade stands. Handy place to scour out fencing options, in one place.
I thought barbed wire disappeared with rural electrification. I never touched the stuff or even see it.
Ah it's just for those of us who love hardship
I’m guessing you are from Cork?
