[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1847538, member: 25884"] To get a perspective, I went on the internet and got some conversion charts to see how long 7.5 km was... so about 4 1/2 miles in US measurements... or 23,700+ feet.. so for us with the common length of 330 ft rolls of wire here local, that's like over 72 rolls of wire... WOW.... Love your wood fence, but here it would not last that long either unless it was chestnut like they used to make the zigzag pole fences out of because chestnut lasted forever... sadly those trees succumbed to the chestnut blight... I did not find any references to a "panel" ... some old timers here will still reference a fence to "rods" which is 16.5 feet... but few even know that anymore it seems. Although it is still used in horse racing...with furlongs... which is 40 rods I think... 660 ft in a furlong if I remember right... a rod also used to be called a pole... [/QUOTE]
