[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1803643, member: 6291"] Can you take a pic of the hole and maybe the H brace set up? That will really help people give good, specific suggestions. Hot wire is definitely a good option short term while you get things situated. I am of the same belief that fence in just a mental barrier. In sand you will never be able to keep the wires super tight. An extra wire or two may help, hot wire, or even a net wire of sorts. Most all that will require fairly solid corners. Is there is 7' of post buried in the dirt plus 5' or so above ground (12'-ish total) or are the posts 7' long in total? The last 2 weeks I have found 2 bad spots checking fences. We have had tons of rain and the grass is green as can be. Down side is we have big calves on the cows in the pasture and they are like teenagers looking for some thing to get in to. I'm not proud of my patch-work but you have to do what you have to do some times. 😄 [ATTACH alt="20230510_144332.jpg"]29934[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20230427_151554.jpg"]29935[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="20230427_155118.jpg"]29936[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
