[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1581161, member: 38479"] Yep, tie wire, or actual wire runs (not barb of course) You can get these in all sorts of steel, cheap chinese garbage, Aust steel and even reclaiming old ones is worthwhile as the steel was very good quality, the ones on my perimeter would be hard to match today. I also have some of the Chinese ones that wer gal plated, well, they are rusty....so cheap steel and poor gal plating...lol The one I buy now are prob Chinese, but through a steel company, not from a cheap bulk warehouse, anyways, it will end up stronger than my poly wire strands and plastic posts, I will use electric offsets, I think my internals are prob most likely to be damaged by me or other humans using cars or machinery, if it was my perimeter, I would be looking closely at all materials. Ironically perimeter gets pressure from roos, and it is diamond netting, I am surprised at how well it has done after 40 years with goats, and sheep, cattle do not come near the fence at all and are new to property AFAIK, but the hotwire keeps them off no prob & I do not plan on any wild cattle... It is pretty easy to patch too. If I was to re do perimeter, I would put a strong pre fab on outside & prob diamond netting behind that, keep small stuff out and most larger stuff too, although roos can be persistant buggers if they are used to taking one particular path.
