[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 933106, member: 8829"] it snapped because the sucker rod is tempered if you heat it before you weld it it looses its hardness and will hold I always sleeved mine with 8" long pipe that slid over the sucker rod that way if a weld did give it was still held I have built miles of pipe fence with 3 and 4" pipe and 1 1/2 pipe rails on alleys and pressure points I went with 10" between the horizontals and 8' between the vertical post I don't like sucker rod for pressure points but it makes good holding pens I always used 3" post spaced 10ft apart and topped that with a 2 3/8 od pipe then spaced my sucker rod at 10"s and I also drove a 1" pipe into the ground welded it to the toprail and then welded the sucker rod to it in between every post [/QUOTE]
