I am building a fence(first attempt) to start turning some vacant overgrown acreage into pasture. On one side is a row cropped field that I want to encroach on as little as possible and on the other a curving dirt entrance road.
In order to do that I made two braced corners that were not 90 degree. I used 9 inch treated posts for end, corner and brace posts. I sunk the posts via a PHD on my tractor to 3.5 to 4 feet deep and tamped.
I have run the line posts and high tensile wire and tensioned everything. The end braces seem fine but these two corner posts have slumped inward and the wire has slackened with the top strand getting the loosest.
I have attached a picture showing the layout. The two problem posts have the red dots by them.
I really do not want to have to redo 900 feet of fence - so is there a way to make this work?
