Powered Staple Gun
 

Looking for a staple gun for a fencing project, all items I have seen are
silly money. Wondering if it is worth hiring a unit for a week or so.

Has anyone used such a device recently and could recommend something that
might do the job ?

Hoping to put up a chain link wire fence on wood posts 6ft apart over
about 40feet.

7/8 posts? Fencing staples & a hammer?

That's what I'd have thought. What three strainer wires for a 6' high
fence? Two staples per wire per post only about 60 staples inc a few
extra at each end to secure them.

I did 120 feet of chain link here, with galv staple and a hammer. Three
or four staples per post and easier than carrying / using a gun.

Use a hammer. Earlier this year I put-up a 90m fence. A post hole borer
for the poles (scrounged old telegraph poles that I'd chainsawn into 8'
sections). A home-made wacker to compact the soil (first a bar with a
lump on it, then a small plate welded onto an old SDS bit and used with
the SDS breaker). Straining wire at top, bottom and middle of the posts,
then fix the stock or chain-link. You'll need a tensioner; I bought the
Draper bar version but one of the cheaper chain tensioners would
probably be better.

I forgot to add: don't forget to put barrel tensioners on each section
of straining wire.

Not worth buying one for so little work unless you're disabled & using one would avoid you paying a pro. Hire? Never.

If you're new to it just don't forget to tension the wire well.
