Product Description
C8/80/15 is the most commonly used mild steel stock fence. Mild steel does not need to be strained as tightly as the high tensile variant and gradual turns can be made of intermediate posts. This is particularly useful if you need to make a lot of turns in your fence. Suitable for all livestock including sheep and cattle.

Installation Guidelines
A straining post is required at every major change in direction or any termination and should be supported by a strut or box assembly. Netting should be tied off on the straining posts by hand or with suitable joiners. When tensioning the fence the ‘crimp’ in the net should be reduced by approx: 50%. Avoid driving staples tight against the wire as this will damage the galvanised coating. Two strands of barbed wire or a single electrified wire can be added to the top of the fence
