[QUOTE="yme, post: 661081, member: 8113"] It will hold but it will get very loose and it will have trash on it you will have to remove. It will also pull your corners if they are not heck for stout. Been there, done that, bought the tee shirt. I used to use seasonal fence around a couple hay fields for fall and winter pasture but decided a few years ago to put up 2 wire HT. Worked great for years (no major flood) but last fall we had a 100 year flood that caused me to have to rebuild most of the fence and we have had two major floods this spring that caused some clean up on the bottom wire. Forget steel post and go ahead and use hedge for some of your line post as the steel will bend flat in high currents. The only good thing about them bending is that when your fence goes down it takes allot of pressure off the corners. During the big one last year it floated a couple big bales down and the fence stopped them. Before anyone asks, they were above what I thought was the high water mark (my father who would of been 76 always said it has never got above this one point in his life time so no need to worry) [/QUOTE]
