[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1622515, member: 15537"] I haven't been on in awhile, but this discussion perked my interest. I have a fence that runs along a backroad highway. The road curves, so my fence curves. I have had a heck of a time keeping the fence tight, since it pulls the posts over. Right now it is wood posts about every 24' with two T posts between wood posts. It is barbed wire, 5 strand. It holds cows ok, but a car went through it last year and tore it up. I am trying to find a good way to keep the fence tight. I could put an H brace corner post every 50 feet of so and run shorter straight sections. It wouldn't follow the road exactly like it does now, but would stay tighter. I was also thinking I could use the cattle panels, which don't need to be pulled tight. Also, if a car runs through it maybe I will just need to replace a cattle panel or two and a few posts rather than try to repair a larger section of wire. I think it might be safer for cars that run off the road also. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
