Green fencing wire

[Kram]

Where can I buy some green fencing wire. Its for repairing a chain link fence after tree damage, two of the green pvc 3mm tension wires need replacing.
Ideally a 30m or 60-100m length to avoid joins. Fencing suppliers dont appear to list it?!?

A previously local shop had it in 50m lengths but they are now 60 miles away in Beaconsfield and wont deliver. Ideally local that I can get Monday morning.

All I can find is on amazon or B&Q with slow delivery and questionable quality...

depending on what sort of chain link it is , you can join it and leave no sign of the join at all , the diamond one zips together very easily.

 

[tom2207]

there you go .

@tom2207 The chain link is a bit bent but usable, should bend back ok. Its just the top and second tensioning wires - that secure it to the poles, that have snapped.

I'd think one of them agricultural supply shops will stock some .
Tractor shops also have lots of random stuff - for repairing things the trattor bois hit/brake !

Mcveigh have it listed as a 700m spool. A lot more than I need, but it is the correct stuff.

Is it green through paint, or because it is covered in green PVC?

Searching 'PVC straining wire' finds the latter (e.g. https://premiernetting.co.uk/products/galvanised-line-straining-tension-wire-green-pvc-coated)

 

[Kram]

Correct but they are in Norfolk and I am looking for something locally available in Sussex/Surrey or the west half of Kent.

It was the slightly non-intuitive name of 'straining wire' that I was drawing to your notice. That might help locate a local supplier (Toolstation have it at a pinch, but quality may be low).

 

[Kram]

Nope toolstation is 2.5mm and too short.

Found wire, VR22 hog clips and pliers to collect tomorrow.

Unsure if the fence had tensioners on the end poles or just bolted clamps. Anyone know what is usual for this style?

Think I have seen a drilled bolt (maybe 12/14 mm) at the end in a U bracket off the upright, poke it through crank it tight and do the nut up. You would need to get it fairly straight before rotating the bolt as they normally only have a couple of turns on them

The uprights aren't that strong so watch they don't bend before you get the fence straight

you could just use galvanised fence wire if you can get that locally
