Does anyone know if the fences are different in Britain, I’ve never been, nor did I know our fences had curves

    Can honestly say that I never noticed any difference between our fences and Brit fences. Ours have more centrist dad’s sitting on them maybe?

    I live rural and now I’m genuinely trying to think of any non curved farm gates I’ve seen. Struggling.

  3. A lot of our 8′ fence gates have a rounded corner on the latch side – that’s what he means.
    Obviously there are other types of fence that can exist in both here and the UK but like he’s playing off the probability

  4. I think he’s actually trying to talk about the gate, not the fence? Most of the regular farm galvanised gates you’d get in the coop have a curved corner.

    But it’s bollox, or at least lucky, I’ve got gate the exact same as that.

    edit: out of curiosity I dropped into a few different places in scotland and the uk on streetview and all of the galvanised gates I found had sqare corners with a join where most of ours are indeed a 90 degree bend in the pipe stock around a radius.

  5. These videos are getting faker all the time. “Not an Irish fence its a British fence….” lol stfu

    I’m sure that sounds impressive to americans who won’t know any better.

  6. I think it’s probably got to do with the corners of the gates – and he’s probably spot on. Drop a dot on google maps anywhere in the countryside and nearly every gate in the country does indeed have the rounded corners.

    It’s probably just more likely that the gate will be rounded in Ireland, rather than a definite thing. He is guessing off that probability.

    I have a square one, but it’s very old. Square gates were common 100 years ago in a sheet style rather than tubular. I’ll go take a photo.

    He’s talking about the gate not the fence. Our gates have curved/rounded corners. British gates have welded 90 degree corners
