Up on the side of the black mountains, yeah cleft chestnut, the plates are more of a precaution than anything else, it can split especially when driven in with the post rammer.Where abouts is that?

it's lovely round there, but I am sure it's probably a long winter. When I speak to my aunt near Hereford, it's often raining here, and sunny there!Up on the side of the black mountains, yeah cleft chestnut, the plates are more of a precaution than anything else, it can split especially when driven in with the post rammer.

Give me half an hour I'll have a lookI'm hopeful that someone here can help me. Does anyone have an unopened 250m roll of netting lying around they could put a tape measure over for me like this please?

I'm in the middle of making this thing out of scrap to bolt to a quad trailer or loader to unroll net
View attachment 1181864
and if I'm going to do it I want to do it right. I've only got an opened 100m roll here and local place didn't have any 250m for me to measure when I went for a nose
Perfect thanks that's exactly what I wanted to seeOnly had a forestry tape to hand sorryView attachment 1181919View attachment 1181920
Yeah it'll fit no bother, I wouldn't worry the net bursting open they don't seem to.Perfect thanks that's exactly what I wanted to see
It should fit just about as is then.

It's the side of an old hay rack that fit over a frame of heavy channel I rescued from my father in law scrap bin years ago. I would have made it a bit wider somehow if needed. I just need to make some sort of cage around it to stop the net bursting out as it unroll now. And attach it to the trailer somehow.
This is what I have so far if anyone is interested.
The upright pipe just fits in the socket in the middle. The bit at the top slides off to hold barbed wire. I'll make a shorter pipe for that I don't think doing both at the same time would work that well but might try.View attachment 1181924
