50 acres of High tensile

Gizmo36, those cedar posts are the perfect choice for your setting. Your fence looks pretty terrific to me.

Are you doing anything special with the corner posts? How deep? What happens with corner posts is that sometimes even with diagonals and H-bracing, the corner post will lift as animals put pressure on the fence. Sometimes it will happen just from retightening and fence maintenance over the years. Anything you can do to keep the posts anchored in the ground is time well spent. Five or six high-tensile wires can exert an immense force. Add seasonal moisture changes in the ground and the corner posts start pulling up.

Also, your fence along you road right-of-way looks a little close to the road. Are you sure your set-back is within your property line? I had a neigbor who had to move a fence back about 6' just because he was not careful along the ROW. The county stopped in one day and told him he'd have to fix it.

richardbro my snow is on its way.David I hope I don't hit any rocks.jinman all I am doing is putting the corners down three feet deep.I have an old fence charger that has and output (in joules ) that is 20.0 I don't think any thing is going to put pressure on it.On the road right-of-way I am 37 feet from the center of the road.But I will take all input on the fence I can get . It has been so long I didn't know if I still new how to put one up. And I don't like to see a fence on a 45 . I would like to have a fence charger like I have but can not find one any where. All I can find is 0.6 and that ant much.
