[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1517934, member: 21194"] I don't like to use concrete, mostly because I'm always afraid I'll be the one to have to replace the post if it rots. I don't want to have to dig that concrete out of the ground to set the new post. If you're going to use concrete anyway then definitely put gravel in the bottom of the hole, or even just backfill with 6" or so of the native soil and then add the concrete so you don't trap water at the bottom of the post. And unless it's a very large pasture so the stock won't be putting much pressure on the fence I wouldn't put T-posts farther apart than 8'. [/QUOTE]
