[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 165093, member: 968"] Just finally read this thread. First, you do not want to dig & set your post in concrete. Here in NY it won't stay for more than a few years. The ground "pushes" it out. Flat bottomed wood post - DRIVEN - is the best - like what they probably (hopefully) did with your hi-tensile fence. The deer will leave your fence alone after the first couple of days (once they figure out it's there) BUT, when it's deer hunting season - fence will be GONE. Hi-Tensile is absolutely the cheapest, long lasting fence you can put up. If you hired someone to come in & pound your corner posts (3 to a corner for bracing). You can put up the fence yourself. If you already have hi-tensile, you need to have the tools to repair it, so get the proper tools & go for it. I use polywire fencing all the time - but it's for INTERNAL fencing. I have 3 strand hi-tensile for perimeters & 4 strand for holding lots. every thing inside is generally 1 strand hi-tensile for main divisions & polywire for temp divisions. A 6' steel posts works fine for the 1-strand hi-tensile if you don't tighten up real tite - for straight short runs. [/QUOTE]
