[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 643162, member: 8840"] Has anyone attempted to utilize high tensile for temporary cross fencing. I have a couple 10 acre fields that are long and narrow. The easiest way to cross fence is of course across the narrow span and that works out best for providing water. I rotate from year to year which field I mow for hay so I need to be able to remove the cross fence for moving, fertilizing, spraying etc. I also cross fence winter annuals that will be shallow cultivated in the summer to start my summer crabgrass. How about two permanent posts down the side opposite the border fence. Pull high tensile across and connect over the top of the post with a wrap around insulator. Then with the ability to tighten the fence I would only need a few t-posts to keep it at the right height. It would stand up much better to the occasional passing deer or small calf and could be used for creep grazing. I currently use steel wire and fiberglass posts. Then when done pull the high tensile down the long side of the permanent border fence and attach to offset insulators spread out to hold it off the ground. I would probably need a post to again attach the wrap around insulator over. I know I would have to be careful when moving the fence to keep it from coiling up, but I think if I have a couple people helping it could be done. I would leave it in place for about 6-8 months at a time. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
