[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 545768, member: 7956"] Ever staple or tie wire to a tree and then have the tree blow over in a storm?? No thank you. Learned the hard way on that one and got the shirt to prove it. I would not recommend using a tree as your corner. In my parts we used hedge for posts, minimum 12" diameter for corners. 18-24" are better. Dig a hole at least 3 ft deep, I set mine 5 ft deep. Then tamp it in til you can't tamp no more. Then you have a corner post that will probably out last you. A 5 barb wire fence done right will last a very long time, and will hold back any cattle you want on the farm [/QUOTE]
