[QUOTE="simme, post: 1742798, member: 40418"] High tensile fixed knot woven wire - high tensile means very little stretch/give in the wire. Old style wire just keeps on stretching and getting loose over time. Fixed knot means each joint between vertical and horizontal wires is tightly fixed in position with a knot. Keeps the fence dimensionally stable. Strong posts and braces on the ends allow the wire to be stretched tight. Tee posts will keep the wire positioned in the vertical, but not so good about the horizontal. A long run of tee posts can be pushed over by cows because they are not deep in the ground. That wood or steel post every 100 feet will be deeper in the ground and keep the fence vertical. My tee posts are 20 to 25 feet apart with a wood post every 100 feet. That tee post spacing is where the savings are in a high tensile fixed knot fence. An 8 or 10 foot spacing on tee posts is to compensate for the give/stretch in older fencing and for the lack of dimensional stability in multi individual strand fence. [/QUOTE]
