Where to buy barbed wire ?

englander

Ok - I've had enough of the little tip-rats (and p!ssed up hoodies) climbing over my wall.

I want to get some barbed wire to nail up.

I have been to Woodies, Chadwicks and Universal Providers to no avail. I asked where to get some and they sort of recommended each of the other shops !

Where do farmers get their barbed wire or any suggestions please ?

Thanks

Try Lawler Agri supplies on the Callan road.

The farmers score their gear at Farm and Industrial on Barrack Street. It's the little street that connects John's Green to the Xroads at Lenihan's pub and the Army barracks. Extreme Pizza is on Barrack street.

As well as rusty razor wire, consider shards of glass set in concrete, or you could go all Viet Cong on their ass and fashion sharpened bamboo sticks, smeared with your own excrement.

Bear in mind that if one of these little turds can prove that you set a trap for them maliciously, you will have a law suit on your hands. Better off just lying in wait and mauling them anonymously with a wrench.

Farmers Store in West Street in Callan would likely have it to,

Drive towards Callan and take the 3rd exit which is also signed for Waterford, drive approx 200metres and its on your right where the old cremery is

I like where your head is at with the sharpened bamboo.... now allow me to expand on the idea if you will.

Join a sword based martial art, practice your cuts on said bamboo as it simulates the human neck, All cuts should be at angles thus making the bamboo sharpened, leave sharpened bamboo out the back. Wait for the smug feeling when you hear them wailing.

Your legal defence, I use them for martial arts practice, nobody but me(and whoever you live with) ever go into our back yard, then press charges over tress passing for that double smug feeling

Thats great - thanks for the suggestions.

I spoke to KK Gardai who advised me to call them next time people are tresspassing, but dont apprehend them or shout at them or hurt them in anyway but to get a description of them..

" ...yes they were wearing errrr a hoodie and runners.. ....ok... your sending someone around within the hour ? ....errr ok ...."
:rolleyes:

I like the Viet Cong suggestion. Maybe I'll have barbed wire along the wall except for a gap where I'll have a manhole dug and 'poo-sticks' at the bottom to impale them ?! That'll learn them.

The wall is between two private properties which is different (apparently) than if one side is a public place for putting up barbed wire.

Thanks again for the places will give them a go.

Another idea would to be to hook up a battery fencer (used to fence livestock) to a bit of fencing wire placed along the top of the wall. When they try to climb it, they'll get shocked and won't be able to climb over. and it won't seriously hurt them.

i use whats called security paint, its paint that never drys if you touch it and your cover in the oilly based paint, so hard to get off.... put it along the top of the wall let anyone try touch it and they will be destroyed in it, they wont be gettin it out of there hoodies and there lovely addidas tracksuits will be destroyed....

Yeah that vandal paint worked a treat on the religous protesters outside the strip club when they tried to sit on their window sill.

The fencer is a good idea, and you cxan get that in the farm place too. Actually you could buy pitchforks and equipment to make burning torches in there as well.

Gem of a place, that farm shop.

Haha, seriously, they used that security paint stuff on the religious whackjobs?

Just on their window sills on Friday evenings, heh.

They also liberally watered the window boxes on the upstairs windows with large sweeps of the hand..

Yeah I've mates that drink in Parliament street and they used to argue with them every time they went out for a smoke, just for the laugh.

Personally, I couldn't be arsed with arguing, protesting or viewing at the strip club. I have always subscribed to the analogy that the idea of a strip club is like a fancy resturaunt with nice food that only ever lets you look at the menu, or in the case of Whispers, a chipper that only lets you look at the menu.

Either way I can think of easier and cheaper ways of getting into an arguement or making myself sexually frustrated.

What was this thread about again?

Not much point asking in Kilkenny forum where to get it in Dublin

Dozen Wicked Words

Kilkenny Barbed wire is considered to be some of the best in the Country though, maybe hes just a discerning buyer.

No point digging up a 2 year thread.

Why would a head up display climb into your garden?

_Tony_Stark_

We had the same problem, but what we used was burgler paint, (That thick tar) its pretty harmless, but very effective, if you get in on your cloths it destroys them.
I think all hardware stores do it.
We got ours in woodies though.
All you have to do is smear it all over the wall they are climbing.

look im a farmer, you are allowed put up barbed wire as long as you put up a sign also,,, " Caution Barbed wire. Do not climb!" thats all, perfectly legal, i had a dispute before with "hoodlums" i put up barbed wire and a sign, gaurds came took a look and and said thats fine. bye bye
