[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1227440, member: 9267"] That's trouble, because the first time one of the wires breaks your whole electric fence will be shorted into the ground through those steel posts. Then the next bit will go, and the next... I don't know anything about barb either. Any time a rusted wire (high tensile) breaks here I replace the whole rusted out section with new wire. Don't bother doing it pre-emptively, just wait for it to break first & it'll only break once. Look to the coating on that barb wire & is the T-post rubbing through it? If it's relatively new wire it might not have the best coating for your area, or a plastic spacer might protect it better. [/QUOTE]
