After my corner post are braced and ready, do I pull the bottom strand or two before pounding T-post? Can you recommend any tools (strecther,wire gripper,come a long)? Sorry for all the dumb questions but I'm very green.
Son no dumb question pulling wire is dangerous get some one with experiece to help as if when strecthing wire breaks it can hit the fan.
Now I take a roll of string and go from H to H on the ground come back and drive my t post.

I alwasy have a few old really torn up cattle or hog panels. I just cut the wires(bars) into whatever length I need.

NORTH FLORIDA":1qknrcz5 said:The article said not to run wire inside corners. I was planning for the wire to be inside my corner, can this be done? Also, if your turning the corner (90 degree) can you just loop the corner post then head the other direction?

Exactly. Go from corner to corner, cut the wire, wrap it around the post two or three times and wrap the wire back around itself. Then go to the next corner and do the same. Being in North Florida, do have sandy soil? If so, make sure those corners are in good and deep. I'd go 42 inches if possible. My daddy's place is in South Alabama 10 miles north of Florida and the soil is sandy. Corral posts will loosen up pretty quick with cows knocking against them, so I imagine brace posts would loosen when you start pulling on them with your stretchers. Set 'em deep.NORTH FLORIDA":2b5zoutf said:So I need to stop at every corner and tie. Thanks
That will give you a top wire about 48". I don't know what kind of cattle you're running, but that's not very high for a perimeter fence. And I really wouldn't even want it for a cross fence.NORTH FLORIDA":5w7wfdqo said:I'm buying 6' and plan on sinking them 22".
If you can afford the 12' spacing, it will sure make you a nice fence.NORTH FLORIDA":5w7wfdqo said:I was thinking 12ft spacing but wanted opinions.
