Oil pipe corners

[Billythekid]

Needing tips on using high tensile fencing on pre welded pipe corners. I have been searching the net without finding very much info.
Is there any need to worry about the strand spacing moving on the pipe it's being pulled from?
What is the best way to attach and keep spacing on the second pipe of the H brace?
I have always used wood posts. Hoping to change to steel and keep running the tensile fencing.
Thanks for any help.

Callmefence will be able to tell you.

Staytuff post clips is all we use.
You've got to get the right size or they don't work. A little pricey and the tool for your cordless drill is about 80.00. but it is hands down the best way to tie pipe post.

We use these. Gotta be careful when welding though, doesn't take much heat to pop a tight wire.

It seems to me you would want to weld those on before running your wire?

Really dosen't work to well that way. Think of pulling and threading a half mile of wire. Vs rolling it out. We use the weld on clips on pipe and cable. We weld the bottom and leave the top open enough to lay the cable in . Then close them with a tap from a hammer and a tack on top.

No, string the wires first. The clips go on last. Like Fence says, it would be a major pain to thread all your wires through them.

Except the OP is talking only steel corners (I believe) so you would only be threading the wire through 2 or three posts over 10-20 feet. If that is the case I would weld them on first. But if it is line posts, then I agree.

One more question. You guys using a bullnose insulator for any electric strands coming off the pipe corners.

When I do a welded up pipe corner I have three post in line with a pipe connected to them both top and about 10 to 12 inches from the ground and paralell to the ground. All concreted in. To this type corner I weld a heavy duty bull panel that has at least 5/16 steel rods for the panel. I tie onto the last post and do not go to the corner post. The post making up the corner are about eight feet apart and the length of the bull panel which is around sixteen feet long
