great workmanship there , love the figure 8 knot ,and the attention put in to the straining post. Tools are razor sharp.have a look at the shavings coming from the saw :D
what are the advantages of the plain wire over using say sheep netting and barb or plain wire? we mainly do 8/80/15 and 2 barbed wire strands. id love to be able to blast holes like that :)
Plain wire and batten fence better suits the undulating land that we have in most of rural New Zealand. It is far easier to deal with in challenging conditions and is a lot cheaper per length.
On the right terrain netting is ideal and quick and easy to erect but can be a nightmare to tighten when you have to go over hills and through hollows.
We don't use a lot of barbed wire in this country anymore. We prefer to use either more wires or use electric wires.
that knot you do is very simular to the one i use but im going to give it a go on monday when igo to work and i mihgt just adopt it cheers mate keep the vids coming
Cheers mate. This was one of the more challenging lines I've done and I've been doing it twenty years. Ironically it is on my own farm. If it was for someone else I might have had second thoughts.
Do you want to come and help me batten it? Only seven hundred metres to go.
