[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1018077, member: 18945"] Wire goes on the side of the post that the pressure from animals is coming from. The "knobs" on the tee posts also face the animals. Trying to keep something in, the wire goes to the inside of the posts--I don't trust just the tee post clips to hold the wire, especially if they are the cheap alum alloy clips and some of these are. 7' Tee post--about 56" above ground, spaced 11 feet apart. I don't try to make it perfectly level--I just follow the terrain of the ground but I want the bottom wire to always be so a new calf can't roll or be shoved under it. Yes, I used 1/4" galvanized cable, but on long runs especially down by the river, I have used some 1/2 stainless cable for diagonal brace tie. Corners and ends are the life of a fence--they gotta be there for a long time. Overkill--probably, but that's the way I learned in '66 and have done it that way ever since. [/QUOTE]
