[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 608455, member: 1863"] You might try triangulating (sp?) the bottom point by measuring off of the side and bottom fence lines. Then set a post in concrete. I have stretched high tensile as far as 1200 ft but never 2000 but you may try stretching heavy duty high tensile between the two points. As long as it don't touch the ground or anything else it will give you a straight line to set tension posts about every 100 feet. GPS may put you within a few feet but that might as well be miles. If you can see each fence post from end to end you can use a rifle with a scope. Take an empty rifle and put it on top of one post and align the crosshairs with the post at the far end. Have someone set T-Posts with orange survey tape on top in line with the crosshairs every 100 feet or so. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
