Following years of replacing timber posts, clearing debris off the netting, tensioning and repairing the fence after regular flood damage, the landowner looked at alternatives.

A simple 8-line fence with ratchet tensioners at either end allows the tension to be taken off in flood season. So the lower line wires can be simply moved up and out of the way of flood damage. In the spring Clipex® insulators can be attached easily to the posts and the fence electrified.

"After our initial trial with Clipex® using the stock fence system we have now used a line wire system on a flood plain area of the estate and the deer fence posts for a large pheasant pen through part of our woodland.  The ease of use, lightweight nature of the posts and speed of installation along with the 30 year guarantee now makes this our choice for all types of fencing on the estate."
