You can also use a standard post hole digger and drill a hole 4′ deep and tamp waste rock or use secrete to fill hole around corner post.

Most of corner posts are cut 8-9′ long and driven in the ground with pneumatic driver or pushed in with tractor front end loader in moist conditions. The corner posts are made from epoxy fiberglass material that ranges from 2.5″ – 3″ diameter. You also have to drill a much bigger hole through your post to get a cotter key through it which weakens your post at these drilled spots. We prefer this method over using cotter keys which are much more expensive to use. We insert a 12.5 gauge soft galvanized wire through this hole and give it two twists to secure our 12 gauge hi-tensile wire against the post. We drill a 1/8″ diameter hole in the post at the height that we want our wire fastened. I attached a picture of our wire fastening technique that has proven extremely durable over the years on many miles of fence that we have erected over our various farms. Epoxy foam filled fiberglass posts(diameter sizes range from 1.25″ to 2.5″) SOLD OUT These posts are highly visible which makes them very effective in high traffic wildlife areas. They are priced the same as the posts above. Unpainted non drilled 1.25″ diameter solid fiberglass line posts are $1.30 per foot. Even the woven wire fence will come back to a semblance of normal after a tree or something falls on it.2021 Solid 1.25″ Diameter Fiberglass Fence Post $1.30/Ft Post lengths are 5 ft, 5.5 ft and 6 ft Our typical 5-wire fiberglass post perimeter fence
The best thing about high tensile fence is it's ability to "bounce back" after a tree or other thing falls on it. For long lasting, highly conductive, easy-to-see fencing, 12.5 ga hi-tensile, galvanized, smooth wire is the top choice for perimeter and interior cross fencing. It takes some expertise to get the right stretch, and to get it to stay tight after. I will help with the post driver, I will "nail off" the fencing at the posts with staples, but the actual building/stretching I will leave to my son or an expert. I am not going to try to do any woven wire fencing myself anymore. I went to a fencing school and watched the professionals and really got some new insight on fence building. fencing should be stretched from both ends to the middle to get proper tensile strength, then attached at the junction point. I can tell you, contrary to what I would think was common sense. So some of it has to do with your experience in putting up fence. I personally don't care for high tensile fencing that is single wire, and don't have much experience with the high tensile woven wire fencing. We put up mostly all red brand or another type of wire. There is a different method to putting up, and stretching the high tensile fencing, like gaucho, and red brand fence that is a different type of wire. Pros Made in USA, "S" knot, Bezinal coating on the metal wire fence lasts at least 30 years.Ĭons 12.5ga stay wire 14ga filler wires, 805 lbs breaking strength. No warranty information, No weight Breakage weighting, High Tinsel wire, highly subject to rusting. Made in USA Class 1 galvanization, heavy wire 10ga Upper & Lower / 12ga Filler, Square Deal® Knot. No coating mentioned so I assume highly subject to rusting, Only available in my area as special order. Hinge joint, No warranty info, No breaking weight listed. I've decided that I will buy my fencing from Tractor Supply, I have a Love/Hate relationship with Rural King, currently the needle is leaning towards hate.
I wished there was a companion guide or something. Looking at fencing for sheep, goats and cows 4"x4" squares woven wire 4'x330' The options are so confusing.
but They also look like they could break pretty easily by an animal or branch or. I may consider using Lock-Jawz also with my existing tee-posts. Those little yellow plastic electric wire tee-post thingies are basicly chinese crap, short/long it doesn't matter 1 year in the sun and being frozen in the winter and they start breaking or bending.
Timeless fence plus#
Plus timeless posts are pretty high priced. I reckon I could pull them up and sell my steel tee-posts, but man what a pain it would be to replace them all with Timeless tee-posts. My problem is I have like a gazillion 6' steel tee-posts already set and spaced 10' apart. I could also use battery powered solar chargers or just regular AC chargers, or a combination of the two.
Timeless fence how to#
I know how to install it, I know how to test it and I know how to repair it. I have zero issues with using electric fencing. I'm seriously considering Timeless Fence with 12.5ga high tensile electric wire for the perimeter. I guess I should of specified perimeter fence, sorry about that.
