Mike, Running a fence, ALWAYS requires a number of element #1..A set of Double H-post end braces. Set a minimum of 4 ft deep, south of the Mason-Dixion. North....deeper with consideration to freeze/thaw jacking post out of the ground! #2.. Use real substantial Cedar Post or large 4in or somewhat larger pipe. Wood,. hand tamped in or Pipe can be cemented in, but leave the cement below ground level. #3.. most line post are put 3ft deep. Spread every 5 steps (15 to 18 ft) apart. #3a.. Since you are using Steel line post use 6 or 6.5 ft post. #4.. on a lazy curve depending on the sharpness of the curve, with a post every 5 steps a brace post every 4th or 5th post will be necessary on the inside of the curve (a brace post is a single H setup to keep the integrity of the curve). #4a..Move the brace post to every 3rd or 4th post. #5.. There is NO Substitution for Tight wire. On a length of any distance of 1/4 mile or more Use a Tractor to pull the wire it will have more leverage and torque than any fence stretcher on the market, Period! Then do not give up any tension you already have when you tie off. Slick horse wire is just about worthless! Use 12 or 12.5 gauge American made Barbed-wire. Not that foreign made or that Gaucho Crap!!! I have fence here at my home that has bee standing tight for 40 yrs! enough said! #3a and 4a are specifically to your application. If You have Any questions call me 512-577-3837. Later, John A.
