[QUOTE="Txwalt, post: 362599, member: 5970"] I just recently built this fence and lost about 200ft of it. I have a dry creek that runs through my place. We built the creek crossing very sturdy assuming the worst. The creek enters the north side of the property and out the south side. The fence on both sides held just fine at the creek. But the water came out of the banks about 3 feet high on the east side of the creek. On the incoming side it took out 50ft of fence and on the west fence it took down about 150ft. Just snapped all five strands. Even took out a drill stem post cemented about 24 inches into the grnd. This happened Friday. Saturday morning I went over to the neihbors to see if he needed a hand. He said he was up till 2am. He said water was pouring in the house. He thinks that was the worst flash flood in 50 years. Only 3 roads lead to my place. One was washed out. One of the 3 culverts washed down the creek about 40yds. About a 6 ft drop if you were dumb enough to cross it. The 2nd road is a low water crossing made of concrete. I was told you couldn't even see the other side of the road. The 3rd road was safe. When it rains it pours. Walt [/QUOTE]
