[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1621666, member: 38479"] The ends are not normal t posts......are jumbo or max or something, a few makers have them. Driven in with manual rammer. There is no way at one end to put a 100mm post anyway, well, not without a serious excavator. On this line of fence I am not too worried either way as is probably temporary, have also found adjusting height upward is not a good idea, the clay tends to all lift and grip is lost. I do not seem to have an issue keeping them reasonably straight, it is twisting an issue at times, as I sit the fence on the flat side and I usually put offsets for hot wire, if the post is twisted, then that offset will put extra sideways pressure on the internal normal star posts as they wont be 90 degree to fence line.. Our posts have holes, it is pretty easy too tell how far to drive them, I also mark them with paint. Will see how it fares when I strain a few more wires on the top, it will have more limitations vs a round steel post, it has advantage that I got a lot of way into ground that is not disturbed.
