[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1437936, member: 27490"] I am putting up 5 strands of 14 gauge tornado barbed wire I got from Farm Fence Solutions. I am going from one double treated wood post brace to another one 700 feet away. It is along a wooded holler. The fence will be supported by 6 1/2 foot T-posts. At three points along the fence about 175 feet apart, I am setting posts cut from the big end of old power poles. These power pole posts are 8 foot long and are set 2 1/2 foot deep and concreted with 250 pound of concrete each. Here is a picture of one of the posts: [img]http://i67.tinypic.com/14npphs.jpg[/img] [img]http://i68.tinypic.com/osbu54.jpg[/img] Between the power pole posts I will use the T-posts on 20 foot centers. One of the difficulties is stinging the barbed wire, as a one man operation. The rolls are 80 pounds. I plan to put the spool on the three point hitch of the tractor on an axis that goes through the eyes of the lower two points. I cannot get the tractor along the entire fence, but I hope to be able to pull it into place off the spool. I got the three power pole posts set. They are all solid and from the days when power poles were creosoted. So should last forever. [/QUOTE]
