Hi All,
We prob do things a bit different here, or use different terms rather, but I guess fencing methods or requirements change everywhere.
I have standard height perimeter fencing, with net mesh on the bottom, is diamond shape, then on top 1 plain wire and a top barb, this keeps most things out and in.
I am about to do some internal fencing, and while it is not likely to face much pressure, I would like to know peoples thoughts.
On my external fencing and some internal, contractors have run the single wires through holes in the t posts, so far, so good, until you need to replace a post
Anyway, for my internal, I am going to use hinge joint, and unlike my other posts that are concrete, I will be using steel, and T posts between strainers at about 15ft intervals. Now, my questions are...
1 How do you face the T posts, so the netting meets with the flat section of the T or the pointy section, if that makes sense.
2 Do you run single line HT wire at top and bottom of net, or, do you just use the existing strands fixed to posts to hang the nettiing. On internal this is prob too much.
3 I have undulating land, I have a run that goes on a right angle, so 3 strainer posts, from the middle one is approx 100ft run each way, but one side of the middle post is pretty flat, the other is going up hill, I was told I can do this as one run, but thinking about it, this would probably only work if land was flat each way ? It also mean on the part going up (or down) hill, the net will not be lining up with the post that is level, but everyone say make sure the net lines up with the post....err, ok, I think they assume your land is flat ?
PS our T posts do not have the lugs I have seen that some of you use, so you must tie on with wire.
