sb67 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I was looking at some fencing to use on my layout that is appropriate for the late 60's onwards. What year would the angled post with barbed wire at the top have first been used? I can remember seeing them in the 70's but would they have been around earlier? many thanks. Steve.

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted October 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Would that be angled concrete chain link fence posts? Edited October 20, 2021 by chuffinghell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Radford Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I'd maybe put it a few years earlier. I started school Jan '58 at Mickleover Infants (Now home to Mickleover MRC!) and Mickleover Junior had just opened and that had that type of fencing round it when I moved there in 1960. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb67 Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Thanks for your help guys. I've a really dumb question now! Does it matter which way round should the angles be facing? Should they be facing away from the place that the fence is protecting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fence is on the boundary line I believe the angled part should face inwards so that it doesn't overhang someone else's property. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of it like that! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
