WHAT FARM FENCE POSTS ARE BEST? - Creosote, Treated or Hardwood

[@alberttalbot9534]

I love these bits and pieces busy episodes. You’ve learnt such a lot on the farm. Thoughtful of you to leave the children to chase and sort the sheep - memories being made.

I love heavy duty knockers😊

Love watching your videos. I'm not a farmer, but it's always been a dream of mine... thank you for sharing

[@diyfarm]

Our pleasure!

[@54mgtf22]

You need my Australian Kelpie. Just stand where you want the sheep and he brings them to you. Love your work, team 👍

Rosa the shepherdess needs a shepherd!

Chestnut is the rational wood for fencing. Easy to split vertically Straight and rot resistant. Lasts years

[@diyfarm]

Yeah chestnut would be great too, that was first option when looking at hardwood but the Robinia was just. that bit more durable in wet conditions so went with that.

[@claretbuck1882]

Awesome 👍🏻

I admit Australia is a nanny state but Creosote has been against the law for years as the authorities (some government body) recognise it's a carcinogen.. Seems in the UK some of the good old products are still available to you..

[@AndrewLumsden]

Tim, Have you heard of/ tried CREOCOTE as opposed to Creosote? Creocote is a synthetic equivalent of creosote that is not oil based and, therefore, non-toxic. My feather-edge fence looks just as good as it did on day one, 5 years later. Available from Wickes, amongst others, I expect.

[@vaalrus]

The Creocote website describes it as oil-based, specifically, diesel.

[@brynthomas3484]

Years ago every fence post was oak, simply because oak was cheap and available and oak posts would last longer, old farmer from uk

[@diyfarm]

Yeah still pull out the odd oak post around here that's held up well. Hopefully get the same life out of these Robinia.

[@PazLeBon]

thought creosote banned decades ago tbh, could just as well use diesel n old engine oil lol

[@justwannaridemabike]

First first first 😂🎉👍🏃‍♂️‍➡️

[@RenoTBG]

Maybe try old engine oil? At lest it's free and do the job.

[@davidw4970]

Stagnant water, creosote in eye, fly in throat…nightmare!!

[@vaalrus]

Sounds like a typical day on the farm/ranch to me. :)
