[QUOTE="RiverSide Cattle, post: 489482, member: 7362"] Nice looking fence. I understand the comment on why not deeper on the corner post. I never saw the point in any fence post being taller than the top fence wire. Someone correct me if I am wrong but the post the part sticking up above the top wire is a waste. Either buy a shorter post or put more of the post underground. We alway go 60% or better buired on corners or end posts (usually 9 ft post some but a 5 foot hole is awfully hard to dig out even with an auger and extensions), but we run high tensile seven wire so that puts alot of strain on posts espically when we we can have 40 degree temp swings from night to day. On our longer runs that wire is super tight at sunrise (coolest part of the day and slack by late afternoon. Last summer I build a new section of fence and got a little carried away tightening the fence wire, when I came back the next morning the wire was way up in the air across the draws had pulled out the tie downs. You flat land people probably have no idea what I am talking about. -RSC [/QUOTE]
