[QUOTE="chiefgriz, post: 163517, member: 2311"] length of material generally dictates how I would cut it up. 24' pipe gets you 3 pieces of 8' material. Sink it 3 ft. in the ground and it leaves you with 5' to work with. 20' pipe gets you (2) 8 ft. post with a 4' drop left over for your horizontal H piece. Saddling the horizontal members is the easiest way to go if you have access to a torch.Its easy enough to eyebal cutting a saddle in. A good weld all around and you wont be able to tell the difference. As far as pipe size, the 2-7/8 O.D. pipe which I think is considered 2 1/2" pipe I.D. is plenty strong. If you are going to have any cross fencing, you should then build an "L" shape intermediate support. [/QUOTE]
