I am looking at building some new cross fences at my house on 18 acres. Most runs will be short anywhere from 500' to 1500'. My question is on material. I am thinking of going with all steel fence. 4" galvanized corners with 2" galvanized line post every 5 or so with galvanized tee post. Also using net wire fencing. My question is the galvanized pipe material worth the extra cost. From what I have seen its anywhere from 3-4 times the cost of regular black pipe. Also, does an all metal fence last that much longer than a good treated post fence? I want good fencing but also not trying to break the bank. This fencing will be in hay fields with black dirt. Thanks for the input.
