My weekend job!!

[enduro]

I have a very wealth customer who over the years i have done lots of work on her estate, she has just bought some more land and has asked me to re-fence it for her. 4,000 metres is the total fence line, first i have to remove the old fencing and replace with new stock fencing. She wants all the fences 3 metres out from the boundary to make the hedges wider for wildlife. Also i had to do a 12 metre strip of wild bird seed for the little birds to eat...She is big into conservation. Thought i might share a few pics of the job.

Yes we use a tractor with a knocker for the posts...And its for the the daughter of Hans Rausing, from the tetra pac empire. Just had a look and he is number 11 on the rich list, only worth £4 billion...think my price is going up :yikes:...Ha Ha

Phew.!!. i wouldn't like to have to hand knock all those posts home with a post hammer..:lol:

So much easier and less post damage with a knocker..

What wire are you using..?

Stock netting, but we have to fix it upside down so the big holes in the netting are at the bottom to let the rabbits etc threw..

I have seen that done before..:smilewinkgrin:.. infact i have fitted quite a few mtrs of post and wire a lot of yrs ago.. father in law is a fencer..used to do bits with him.. from post and rail to wire and even security fencing like palisade.

Nice pics though..
