Rebar posts

I have 800 meters of Coppicing to do for Glas. Every hedge that's coppiced has to be fenced - some only on 1 side as they border a road. But i estimate that I have approximately meters of fencing to put up.
This is all an advantage to me. Farming small fields, this increases my paddock system and should help me to utilise grass better all over the farm.

My hedges have a maximum of 60 meters run before they are broken by a gateway. I will drive a strainer post at each end (ESB replaced poles on my land recently and kindly left the old poles to me and I will use these) and use steel posts inbetween to hold up light polywire. The advantage of this is that it can easily be taken down to give me access with the hedgecutter to cut and shape the hedge annually.

I'm looking for to gain some advantage with the steel posts. Currently we use 10mm rebar for temporary fencing and we use good quality insulators from the co-op that cost up to &#;1 each. We have a very good quality post that costs about &#;2.50.

10mm is heavy enough. You would get away with something lighter in my own view. It's possible to buy 6mm rebar for 50c per meter. You could have the steel for posts at 75c each. I was thinking that I would look into making pigtails instead of buying insulators. This could be done by buying 6mm pvc tubing and bending it into the pigtail costing approximately 25c per post. I don't need a foot plate for driving the post into the soil.

What's people's view on it - would my plan work?
