First trial installation of Clipex fencing near Finghall - Fencing is up. You can see the concrete markers of where the very high pressure water main runs. We spoke to the Yorkshire Water team working nearby to make sure we wouldn't hit it. The new fence follows the curving boundary line of the original fence. On the close up you can see the little clips into which the fencing easily attaches to the posts. (11/07/2023)
