[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1724"] I think it is a lot easier to do the top wire first. I agree with Dunmovin on this one. (I find I agree with Dunmovin on most of his posts.) If you string the bottom first you'll constantly be snagging the upper wires. Most of our fence is steel T-posts with wood corners and tighteners. After we stretch the top wire we clip it to the T-posts and start on the next lower wire. We use 8" posts for corners and tighteners and we like to bury them at least one third of their length. (Actually we like 8' posts in 36 inches) We have some friends that never bury their posts deeply enough and their fences are always falling down. The tumble weeds get along the fence and the wind blows or the animals start rubbing on them and they just lay over. [email=DeerTrailMan@aol.com]DeerTrailMan@aol.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
