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 -
This summer's little project, two ploughs become one, putting all the best bits into the 3f plough with the hydraulic turnover. It's not quite as good as buying a 4 or 5 furrow plough and converting it to a 3f with all the best bits, but could be a bit cheaper;),. It's important to label it all first though and take pics.
If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

Totally agree. when we bought here 7 years ago I hot washed most of the shed before painting, the pipe to the lance wasn't long enough to reach the full roof. you can see exactly what was and wasn't washed after about 3 years.
Bought 4000psi pto washer with turbo nozzle at ploughing last year and 100ft of pipe so should be good this time.
Last time I had 2 bay shed with lean to.
Putting up a 3 bay with lean to at moment so ill have a 2 bay and 3 bay with lean to and no way will I be brushing both of thempedigree 6 wrote: »I got the sheds painted here last week.

I used Castle paints ten years ago and again this year, it's great paint.
Contractor had a really good paintsprayer, he only used about 15 litres white spirit in the 260 litres paint, he reckoned it gave a better finish with the litre of white spirit in the 20 ltrs paint.....don't know if that's true or not but the contractor that did it 10 years ago claimed the same.0 -

Who did u get. I got it done here 2-3 years ago from a susposedky reputable firm who gave a 7 year guarantee. After 1 year it went flakey and of course they had closed down and reopened under a new name.
Anyway will have to get it done again next year.0 -
