[QUOTE="T & B farms, post: 1534013, member: 34352"] I’m looking to setup a new 160 with several electric cross fences for an intensive grazing system. We have a very heavy deer population, so needing something strong and visible. They are going to be 1/2 mile long and either 2 or 3 strand. In the past I have used regular 14 gauge wire from the farm store and t-post with plastic insulators. I am always replacing insulators, and patching wire the deer break. I’m looking to build something low maintenance, and permant. This is the wire I had in mind, I have never handled this type of wire. [url=https://kencove.com/fence/Max-Ten_detail_WM2.php]https://kencove.com/fence/Max-Ten_detail_WM2.php[/url] Open to any suggestions. Going to need a very large quantity, so trying to keep price in check. Would a single 10-12” hedge post concreted 8’ deep be adequate without a brace? Generally we have 8-15” of good topsoils, then heavy clay. What kind of strainers would be recommended? What about line post? What would be my max spacing? What kind of insulators for corners? Any advice/ recommendations are appreciated [/QUOTE]
