Hi all. Have some questions about fixing fence on the property we just bought. In fixing fence I've been removing old worn out wood posts and simple pounding in T posts and attaching the barbed wire to the T post with wire clips. This is much easier, quicker, and cheaper than using post hole digger, digging new hole, putting in new creosote post, attaching wire thereto with staples. We can get some heavy snows and drifts here but nothing like in the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes Region, or the New England States. We are generally semi-arid country. Will the T posts bend and require fixing a lot sooner than the creosote posts? Is the creosote post better than "taking the easy way out" with the steel posts? Also what do people think about buying/using wire clips vs. fashioning your own out of 12 1/2 gauge wire?
