[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1181102, member: 9096"] Are you wanting to fence other stuff out as well as fence your stuff in? If you have neighbors with livestock, you'll want the best fence possible. If your fenceline is nice and straight, and on level ground, T posts will work for high tensile, but you'll still need wood posts for anchors, and with HT, you'll need to build STRONG anchors! (cannot stress that enough!). If your ground is rocky, pounding the posts is going to be hard to do, and you'll have to auger them in or have a mini excavator put them in... Pounding them in *is* possible, but you'll need a steel driver to put in first and make the hole before you bugger up the tip of the post. In softer ground, pounding them in is the most effective way. Around here a "legal" fence is 5 strands, with droppers in it, 15 ft post spacing max. That makes for a pretty strong fence. If you use wooden droppers, you get the bonus that you can electrify the 2nd or 3rd wire to keep them all smart. [/QUOTE]
