    Super super job! I'd put the wire and insulator on the other side of that bend though

    I normally put them on the outside on bends alright. Slipped my mind on that one obviously...will see what the tec screws and insulators are made of now anyway :D

    Scaffolding bars?

    Just the 2" tubes like you use in a cattle crush. You can work away with a sledge and they fit between the cracks in the rocks. Couldn't drive timber posts there.

    What do tyry work out cost wise? Looks a right job for a stretch I was to fence on stoney ditch

    Works out about €6 for the stake and the insulator. Not too bad really and should last a long time.

    Mmm.. but if you can drive 2" tube there, why can you not also drive (pencil thin) stakes? Have you buried the tubes deep?

    Those pencil stakes aren't worth driving. No they aren't that deep. The ground under them is basically a solid sheet of rock with an odd crack here and there a few inches wide. They are wedged into the cracks.

    I use something similar. But l use the heavy tube insulators, pre drill the holes & tap in the insulator. Works out a little cheaper. Will take a photo next time

    I did that with some of them too. Reason I started doing it that way is because it's hard to pull out the wire and feed it through them all on a long run.

    Got the welder out for a while today. Got a second hand agitator and the bottom of the sleeve that holds in the bottom rubber bearing was rusted away so made a new one.

    You would want a good cab to keep the dust out. Great job though

    Lads have a 30 year old cubicle shed with box profile roof and the skylights are totally gone. Its an unusual profile and cant get a match anywhere. Any ideas from the guntering community on some way to keep out the elements?

    Talk to CPF in Longford. Ask for Peter. If he can’t sort you, no one will. They’re well used to older profiles and deliver anywhere.

    Important info to have to hand for him. Sheet width, valley width, profile width at base, width at top and overall profile height and number of ridges. In less than five minutes he’ll tell you if it can be supplied or not.
