My recommendation is to not use power poles for the corners unless they are really old creosote or the newer green colored treatment. The ones that are whitish/light tan looking won't last long enough to use. I had to replace some that hadn't been in the ground longer than 5 years.

A tight dress is like a barb wire fence
It protects the premises without restricting the view.

I fenced 30 something acres using cross ties & t posts. They should out live me.

If I had to build a fence and was using T-post I'd go get me one of these.




Dang I used to dream about stuff like this when I was younger! I used one of these about this time last year. Had the generator and compressor in the back of the truck. Stood on the tailgate and put some post in the ground in a hurry.

You don't need 5 wires to keep a horse in. You can keep them in with 3.

Well on the plus side if he gets rid of the hay burners and gets some beef 5 wire will hold them to and he wouldnt have to change the fence up. I usually run 6 strand barb wire for cattle, i started doing this after me and my grandpaw ran 5 strand for years and had issues with cows pushing calves under the bottom wire. So now i run a 6 strand fence with the bottom strand about 3"-5" off the ground. Its help alot seems like when the cow pushs the calf into a barb they stand up and move instead of sliding on out.
