[QUOTE="Busterz, post: 545891, member: 7999"] Maybe. I've never seen anyone use a single corner post (which might tell you something). It would have to be pretty deep and pretty solid and the soil would have to not heave or move very much (if your soil is clay it may not work very well as it would expand and contract). You have to remember you are going to be pulling your wire tight against these corners. And then they will remain under tension. If your are going to do it I would probably go with at least an 8" pipe and I'd put more of it in the ground than whats sticking out (so like a 60" deep hole if you want 55" sticking out.) I don't know if filling it with concrete will do much for you. But you'll want some kind of cap since its pipe. Filling in around it with concrete. Changing these, if they don't work, will be a collossal pain in the you know what, and they probably still won't be as good as a pipe (2 3/4") L shaped brace or even a braced up hedge post. [/QUOTE]
