[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 698632, member: 7795"] Not knocking your answer HD, just expanding on it a bit. If you think longer term. Bigger post and another wire won't be cheapest up front but 15-20 years later you might be looing at a fence still standing and not replacing it. Then you start collecting on the added up front expense. Adding a fifth wire brings the spacing closer together and helps cut down on grazing thru the fence which tends to loosen and stretch the wire. The major work setting the post has already been done. Adding another wire at this point is easy. On the fences I have been replacing, I've been using 4 barb wire and 1 smooth. Wood post every 32 ft with 3 T-post in between. Smooth wire is the middle wire and is electrified. This does two things. It is a way to get the electrified fence just about anywhere I might want to put up a temporary one and it cuts down on thru the fence grazing. [/QUOTE]
