If anyone is using a radio fence for a dog here is a tip. The wire that comes with kit to make the perimeter can be a right pain in the bum. It breaks too easily.
I have replaced ours completely with cat5 network cable (purely because I already had lots of it). You only use one strand in the cable so any similar and cheaper UTP cable would be as good. It is much easier to work with.
But the real tip here is that because it's UTP cable if you use 2 strands so the return path goes back down the other wire in the twisted pair the signal cancels itself out so you can use it to create zones inside your main perimeter for flower beds or anywhere you don't want the dog to go. Or if you need to pass a door that you want the dog to be able to go through.
Hope that made sense

Anyway they said it would work good and you get gun wash and wash out the pot , pipes and gun. im thinking I might put an 8ft cage on tractor loader or hire teleporter, daddy do the spraying on a calm day and I drive. he trained years ago as panel beater so he would not leave overrun and will clean out pot. if well set up you could probably do 2 coats and almost have as much paint on as hand brushing
peoples thoughts / experience
I got the sheds painted here last week.
The powerwashing first is the most important bit.
Then some of the sheds needed a primer paint.
They had some sort of pump for the painting on the lorry but then there was a long pipe from that to the lance. It takes a good bit of paint in the pipe so you'd need to be sure of doing all the painting in the one day as as you say it needs cleaner/white spirits run through it after use to stop the pipe blocking.
They used castle paints and am very pleased with it only after a few days.
But we'll see how it goes.
Seeing them do it. I wouldn't do it myself.
Well wouldn't have the time, the equipment or the head for heights. 0
