[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 318430, member: 3162"] Here we go again :lol: This weekend I burned a whole bunch of cedar. There were "posts" as big as 10 inches and 16 foot long. They all went in the brush pile. The land I bought adjacent to this property was covered in old growth cedar. It is now gone. I have been burned out. I will not use wood. I use 3 inch pipe, usually drill stem, for H-Braces and corners. (that is 3 3/8" for you O.D. folks) 2 inch pipe works good for cross braces. I use T-Posts and have never had one pushed over. Of course, I don't buy the short 6 footers. I can show you runs of T-Posts that are 27 years old that have never been pushed or bent by cattle. The wire was tight them and it is tight now. It is always cheaper to do it once, and be done with it. Electric fence is fine for interim barriers, internal fencing for rotational grazing, and the like. If you put it up and think that you are not going to have to clear weeds and underbrush out of it in the next five years, well, I have some bad news for you. [/QUOTE]
