[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 271504, member: 2882"] I have a T-Post concreted into a dip in the terrain, with wood posts uphill on either side. I need a post in that specific spot in order to bring the wire down into the dip, and I used a t-post because I couldn't get a 6" hole there more than a foot without dynamite. It's concreted in for weight, so the wire doesn't pull it out of the ground....hopefully. It's a short run, and I got three wires run and tightened on Sunday. I used the [url=http://www.mytscstore.com/detail.asp?pcID=8&paID=1043&sonID=370&page=1&productID=15559]yellow, 'claw' type insulators (click here to see)[/url] on the T-Post, and when I looked out Monday, I noticed that the bottom insulator had let go of the wire. It's too tight to force back into the insulator, and even if I could, I know it would just let go again. I've got a lot of T-Posts to drive in order to complete this fence, so I'm wondering if anybody knows of a T-Post insulator that's tough enough to withstand the strain of HT fence?? [/QUOTE]
