[QUOTE="BryanM, post: 834898, member: 6828"] I have a field fence on the outside of the wood posts and a 14ga wire going thru insulators( not wrapping) These insulators are less than 6months old. I am going to re do my ends where the wire stops at end posts. The insulators that insulate the wrap around(end posts) are breaking down. What kind of corner posts insulators do you use. I thought porcelin ones would be ideal.? Do you also use a wire insulator to go around your corner posts when using a donut style insulator? I am currently installing a high tension fence for another small pasture and am going to light up 3 of 5wires. I dont want to repeat any mistakes. I have followed the wire manufacturers installation video instructions! And on the high tension wires, I took threir advice and am using the 4 inch 3 fin insulators lightly stapled to the line posts. The insulators seem like the wood eventually burn thru. so far I am using all wood posts but will have to use a few metal ones for the high tensile fence. too answer ?'s from previous posts- when hearing the snapping it had just rained- grounds 2 8 footgalvanized rods less than 10 foot from the controller. Locally al we have is a tsc thats where my supplies have come from. [/QUOTE]
