[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 816856, member: 5478"] Should always put the wire on the bump side, that is what it is there for, to hold the spacing. As far as flood waters, place your posts with the bump side toward the rushing water. That way the water pushes the wire against the post, rather than pulling it away from the post and straightening the clips out. We have a LOT of "water gaps" here. I put a brace on each side and then fence across the gap. They get torn down every spring, but it only tears out the gap between the braces without tearing out 2 miles of fence. Takes me a week or so every spring repairing water gaps, rather than months of fence repair. On regular field fencing, if you only own one side of the fence, put the bumps (and wire) on your side. When the cows push on it, they push the wire against the post rather than away from it. I would not recommend weaving the wire between the posts......you will find out why if you ever have major repairs to do (which you will, eventually). [/QUOTE]
