what thickness does the round dowel need to be for a fence

[jcb4cxkid]

what i said up there?

[Tractorman810]

mmm i would say 2 or 3mm tops, i use 6mm for my power poles which would prob be ok for say the end turning posts as most farmers will use old poles for stuff like that, but 2 or 3 mm for the actuall bought posts

i used 3 ish mm round dowel.

if you cant get any, drop me a line and i will see time allowing if i can get to the local shop down here then post it on to you, prob wouldnt be till next weekend  as i am stuck down cornwall most of next week, only good thing down there is the pasty shops, and i dont like pastys

[jcb4cxkid]

[TM190]

it is just over 3mm 

I measured it and worked it out before i did mine  :)

As for what to use, I use skewers as they are about 3mm  :)

Try Tesco's, they sold skewers earlier this year for BBQ's that were just right for fenceposts.
