[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1020811, member: 4362"] Greybeard, I am not questioning any of the advice because I don't know squat about frost lines and such but I would like to suggest one other thing that he may want to consider and this phenomena might aggravate his fence situation. You know when you run a fence between two corners with a dip in the topography between these two corners there is an upward vector force on the wire because the wire isn't running truly horizontal and is trying to make itself work toward horizontal. Most of the time you never notice any problem but I have seen fences lift posts out of the ground just for this reason. If your friend has a situation like this, he might want to first try and sink a post or two in the lowest part of the dip like suggested and if these can be anchored it might help prevent the others from popping up as well. But like I said, I don't know squat about frost but I think this is well worth thinking about. [/QUOTE]
