Here in Az. the Horse people are going to Cedar Posts with Barbless Wire on Steel posts. Gate and Cornor Posts are cedar with two posts either side of a Gate and a Horizontal Post cross tied with twisted # 9 wire. Posts are about 6" O.D. In between the Steel Posts about on 12" enters woven between the Barbless Wire in a vertical position are abour 2-3" Cedar support posts. They don't appear to be imbedded in the dirt just as a barrier so a Horse won't try to walk through the wire I guess. All wood parts are Cedar.It Is becoming quite popular versus the Sucker Rod and Pipe Fences we commonly see. The working Ranches still use Barb Wire with any kind of Limb or Branch from any kind of tree available to support the Barb Wire. Posts are real hard to drive in some of the places where the Ranchers have to put fences so the Steel line posts are some times far apart. Now a real wicked Fence is one the old timers erected and they are still to be found around here. They strung 3-4 barb wires and then laced Ocotilla branches thru the wire real close together. Well the Ocotilla usually would start new growth and would renew itself and "Boy Howdy" is it wicked. First "Spanish Sabre" Fence I ever saw I almost ran head first into it with my Quad before I realized what it was.I have a lot of respect for any thing planted in a row now.
