[QUOTE="kb5iod, post: 173439, member: 3302"] I used some 3 1/4" pipe with 3/8" wall for some of my corners and at my gates. I didn't build an "H" but instead I ran another pipe down from the corner post at roughly 45 degrees, then turned it down to go into the ground. We put concrete on them and they are rock solid. We used some creosote posts on opposite ends because we are just used to stretching past the posts. I thought about using the technique mentioned earlier with a clamp in front of the metal post I was just not sure how much slack that would put in the wire since a short distance of wire (between the clamp and post) would only be hand tight. One thing that we have had success with is alternating the wire from one side to the other on corners and at gates. This helps to distribute the torque of the wire so that it doesnt try to pull the back post out of alignment with the fence. [/QUOTE]
