Clipex® Fencing Heavy Beefy Post 2.0m - 3.5mm Thick

The Clipex® Beefy post was specifically designed to add ground holding and extra strength to your fence line. They can be used to strengthen slight bends up to 15 degrees or in combination with standard posts to add strength where needed. Many people also use Beefy’s solely to create a formidably strong and long-lasting fence. 

Clipex® Beefy is a 2.0m long 11 clip, thicker gauge and larger profile post. It has been designed to suit premium X Fence. All eight lines of wire netting will be clipped to the eleven clip post with two rows of barbed, electric or plain above plus one row of plain or barbed wire as the base line. It can also be used for permanent electric fencing, line wire, barbed wire or rabbit fencing.

The Beefy can also be used as an economy strainer when coupled with a beefy bracket (CL2765) and Triple X strut kit (CL2742).

Countryside Stewardship (CS) Programme - Approved

Defra has introduced important new fencing guidelines for the Countryside Stewardship (CS) programme. These will provide funding for the use of metal fencing alongside existing treated timber, this applies to CS schemes from the 2022 application round for agreements starting in 2023. From early February this year farmers can claim up to £7.47 per meter, subject to several other conditions, such as post diameter and fence height.

Since the banning of CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenic) timber treatment in 2006, farmers and landowners have complained about the longevity of timber fence posts, and until now, CS provisions for fencing and netting have insisted on the use of softwood timber “that is fully peeled, coated with wood preservative and pressure treated, or treated with an approved preservative” only. Effectively, Defra and the RPA have banned alternative materials including galvanised steel.

With the support of organisations including NFU, FWAG, CLA and RSPB McVeigh Parker were able to show Defra that farmers are looking for longer-lasting and better value options such as the award-winning Triple X fencing system which has stormed the market since its introduction in 2014 and comes with a 30-year guarantee. Following extensive discussions with Defra, Secretary of State George Eustice has agreed to widen the choice available to farmers and landowners. Now farmers have a proper and fair choice. Instead of spending time mending and replacing old fencing, they have the option to choose a guaranteed 30-year fence which is easier to install and requires minimal maintenance.  You can view our guarantee here.
