Thanks for all the great advice I will 100% be using it!!!
Im hoping that the ground will not get pig sick as there are only pigs on the paddock for 4-5 month max so it should get at least 7months off a year.

myself and my wife run a childminding business hence the electric fence behind the stock fence rather than just electric (a couple of very near misses last year)  :innocent:

I'll just add that if you are on light soil, as we are, the strand of barbed wire along the bottom will most likely be useless. Our OSB boar just buried the wire and then dug under it. He didn't escape but he did knacker the fence never mind the huge trenches around the edge!
