carbolinium dipped poles | Eastern Highlander

You have no choice but to endure more and more posts – about more and more fencing! Its that much fun as you can see in the next 3 pictures!

We are using the first 600m as our testing ground – to work on our technique and get it right – ready for more challenging times ahead of us.

George and Garikai – enjoy that fence puller!

The bottom of the fence is bent outwards and trapped with boulders

Mr Artwell is actually hammering the staple sides together to make sure they are parallel and easy to hammer into the posts

And these days we can’t end a post with pictures of nice poles. (Now more important than doggie pics!)

Beautiful poles

Need I say more!

The pole dipping factor being decommissioned

So we’ve started dipping the giant pile of poles, one by one, two by two! At this stage we reckon on needing 450 poles and droppers at 10m spacing.

Happy Days Pole Dipping Plant

Part way through we also dipped the rolls of veld fence (Bonox fence) in bitumen to provide some protection to the bottom of the fence in contact (or buried) in the ground. No pictures of the operation due to yours truly being the ‘senior driver’ but we used the forklift attachment on the front loader to pick up each roll held on end. Then dipped it in the butumin and placed it on the stack shown below. Each roll is 100m and weighs approx. 90 kg.
