[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1642369, member: 24947"] We call them stiffner post. And typically put them every 100'. You absolutely can get by without them. The main reason we put them in is folks expect them. A 1.35 tpost is stronger than most 4" wood post. It might bend but it won't break. Of course you have to drive the tpost deeper (longer post) than normal. With that said most tpost in my area are only put in about 18" . In this case the stiffner post becomes more important. My advice is to build a brace twice as strong as you can imagine needing. Put a 1.35 tpost every 12' deep enough to get below frost line or around 2 foot. Whichever is greater. Drive a pipe post every 8 or 96'. Pull at least six wires for cattle or 10 for sheep and goats. And pull it twice as tight as you think it should be. 10 Barb on 16' centers with stays.
