[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2747"] The most important thing on any fencing is to have substantial, sturdy, well-braced corner post units. We use (in our sandy soil) 2-7/8" pipe corner posts set 3' in ground with concrete. Then, about 8 to 10' out we set another similar post with cross brace between the two. Finally on the second post out, we put in a "deadman" post 3' deep and about 1 foot sticking out of ground with angle pipe from that one to the 2nd real post. By doing so, we can stretch 6 to 7 very tight barb wires up to 600-800 feet and using 8' T-Posts placed 10' on center. Our fences are 5-1/2' high. We sleep well at night.... P.S.: bottom barb wire is low enough so calf cannot crawl under the wire. Finally, the length of post and depth of T-Posts or corner posts in ground depends 100% on your soil type and its holding ability. A fence is no stronger than its corner and end brace units. All of our brace units are welded used well pipe. [email=bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com]bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
