[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1737870, member: 24565"] I have used them for years and bought all in bulk loads to cut costs. I prefer to tie the wire to the post in case of a limb or tree on the wire. The tie will give but a wire thru the post can ruin the post. Out in the open and no trees - no problem with the wire through the hole. Rocks: the posts have flex. So if you hit a rock they can veer to the side and be as crooked as a dog's hind leg. Also with the flex if you deadhead on a rock and you are using a hand driver it can bounce up and off of the post enough to whack you in the head. I will not tell you how I learned about that. They cannot stop a car but I sure like them and they stay in the ground many times better than a fiberglass post. I use them on both smooth and woven fences. I am a pessimist/realist and put wood posts in dips and peaks and generally put one every 100' out of wanting to be sure. But you can skip the 100' wood posts and not have a problem. [/QUOTE]
