Another electric fence question...

To me, the 14 gauge is easier to handle when using t-posts. Funny, the guy who worked on my DB also worked for the dealer in Boydton. He tried everything to get it to move but said the internal parts (gears?) were jammed.

How far apart are you put your wood posts and how far between are your metal posts? I have spent a lot of time removing T posts from our farm. If you haven't actually bought your metal posts yet there are some really nice composite posts that don't require an insulator.

I have been stocking up on t-posts, mostly off Craigslist. Some even came with the insulators on them. As far as spacing of the wooden posts, it depends on the terrain. We have some hills and valleys. On the fairly level areas, I would say 300 - 400 ft. We also use trees when they are in line.

You and I build completely different types of fence then.

Still willing to share anything I have figured out, though it may not apply to you.

Thanks for the input.
