Stretching a fence North vs south

Posted by fixerupper on February 24, 2014 at 11:07:12 from (100.42.83.15):

Didn't want to hijack Blue's post with this question. Is there a difference between the way corner posts are set and wire is stretched in the North where we freeze deep compared to the south where the ground doesn't freeze and it doesn't get as cold. In Iowa we have problems with the corner post lifting over time and the wire contracting and stretching in extreme cold. Snow load doesn't do it any good either. Do corner posts need to be set as deep in the south as we do in the north? Do corner posts heave in the south the way they do in the north? Or isn't there a difference? A neighbor used to set corner posts forty inches deep with a couple of boards nailed to the side at the bottom of the post. They were a bugger to pull back out but they stayed down. Jim
