So I am getting ready to put in about 300 ft of field fencing on edge of part of my property. The fence is mainly to keep any nuisance animals (loose cows, stray dogs, etc) from wandering onto my property and to keep my dogs from going onto the neighbor's. In my planning, I realized I was defaulting to use 5" treated posts for the end H-braces. Is there any reason for this size? Would a 3" or 4" posts work just as well?
