[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1660347, member: 39018"] Yup... you want that wire to be able to slide through your "clip" without any resistance, so when it's hit by a deer, for example, it can stretch the whole length of the fence. Can't get much simpler, OR lower cost, for a fastener than what I posted above. [SIZE=3][COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)]ssterry: [/COLOR] For line posts on an electric or smooth wire high tensile, [/SIZE][URL='https://timelessfencesystem.com/'][SIZE=3]Timeless Fence makes a really good pre-drilled post.[/SIZE][/URL] [IMG width="98px" height="97.295px" alt="ProductTPosts.jpg"]https://www.cattletoday.com/attachments/producttposts-jpg.1708/[/IMG] I've heard that these are good too.
