Does anyone know where I can purchase one in PP? I've got a fairly long fence to build and a fair number of supporting posts to support them. Thanks for your help.

I've seen this variety on the highways outside of the city, but can't recall where. If this is the type you're chasing I'll ask on Facebook as I know you don't use it.

Taa, I have erected miles of fence line , mostly 7 wires , in my lifetime and I would recommend using the star pickets. But firstly start by putting in good solid strainer post at each end.

Edit: Psar touch

Duncan, would a good solid strainer post be made of wood or metal? (Treated pine post?)

In Cambodia,,, Concrete,,,10 inches square containing at least 4 bars of 1/2 steel. Dont skimp or cut costs or it will have to be done again and end up costing twice as much.
