Clipex® Fencing Standard Post 1.8m

Triple X is the name we’ve given to an all-steel fencing system using the revolutionary Clipex® steel post with X Fence premium wire netting and Triple X all steel strainers plus a choice of barbed, plain or electric wire. This is a fencing system like no other and can offer up to 50% cost savings over a more traditional fence. It is a fence with a life expectancy exceeding 30 years, takes significantly less time to erect, cutting both labour and machinery costs.  

Our interactive infographic below is a great representation of how Clipex posts fit in to our Triple X Fencing system.  

The Clipex® Standard post is a 1.8m long 11 clip post, thicker gauge than the Eco which means it offers greater strength and longevity. 

This eleven clip post will suit X Fence 8/80 premium long life wire netting. All eight lines of wire will be clipped, with two rows of barbed, electric or plain above, plus one row of plain or barbed wire as a base line. It can also be used for permanent electric fencing, line wire, barbed wire or rabbit fencing.

Don’t forget - Clipex electric insulators can be added anytime to a clip that does not have a line on it, or simply add a Clipex cap.

 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.
