I'm looking for a little advice and thought y'all might be able to help. I'm putting in a pasture fence for horses. I plan on using the 2"x4" woven "horse fence" wire fencing (48" width). I'm planning on setting 8' treated lumber posts about 2 feet in the ground and hang the wire fence about 10" off the ground. This makes the fence height about 5 feet. I also plan to put a 1x6 top board in place to keep the horses from leaning on the fence wire and to add stability. My question is this... I've been looking at 4" treated posts and found the going price to be a little over $7 for the 8 foot length. I've also considered using 8 foot 4x4 lumber for my posts at a cost of about $7 each. I've noticed that I can buy 8 foot treated landscaping timbers for about $3 each. These are are 3" across the flats, and 5" across the rounds, ACQ teated. So, is there any reason not to use landscape timbers for posts? They look just as stout as other 4" diameter posts. Thanks in advance,
John

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
