How to find/make/whatever things like this cheaply?
I have several hundred metres (maybe even a km or so) of electric
fencing around our land. One of the things one often has to do is tie down loose folded over ends of electric fence tape and make connections. The best bits of hardware I have found over the years for doing this are these:- https://lister24.de/zaunverbinder-bv-444.html I have quite a lot of these, they tie down the loose ends nicely and I make connections by using a crimp connector with a bolt through the square hole (can't use the round hole as that's in the middle of the tape when in use). However they are rather expensive and also, since they are designed as joiners, they aren't quite as good as they could be for the job I use them for mostly. So can anyone come up with a good way of getting say 50 or 100 of them in a slightly modified format:- * Three prongs only needed, just to slide firmly onto tape * A smaller (5mm maybe) round hole instead of the square one * Made in stainless steel (as the above are), about 1mm thick I think * Price somewhat less, though for exactly what I want I suppose 50p is OK[ish] Even ideas for cheap alternatives that only do one job would be welcome. If I could buy very large paper clips made of stainless steel they would provide the loose end fixing devices but I can't find conventional paper clips in stainless. -- Chris Green · |
