Fencing requirements....Pony, mini-horse....

[BotaGuy]

OK, I will post some pictures later... My property is flat for the most part. The fenced area will be about 1 acre or less. Of course then I get to build a small barn too!!!!

With the white electric you really need posts every 8'. That's the nice thing about the high tensile is that you can space posts 20' or farther apart.

The best fencing I have found for an area that'll get crowded is 'diamond mesh" (AKA Kentucky Horse Fence", pipe posts and pipe top rail.

Wrout'nHarv has posted pictures of what he's done.

I use the New Zealand fence for cross fencing, where the kids won't be near it all the time.

I run POA's, miniatures would be even easier to keep in...

Hmmm, sounds like you won't be using that many posts. Am I right?

Wow. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I was a lineman once. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

In fact I taught my father when he was fifty four to climb. He did as good as the young guys but was just a tad more deliberate. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That picture was taken in a land far far away in 1967. In 1968 I graduated from lineman to cable splicer, same land far far away.

If you've ever been around telco guys you'll see they wear those scissors. Most of them call them "snips". But they're scissors. They also like to cut pennies to show how strong the snips are.

One day I found I could cut quarters with mine. All it took was seeing a lineman do it.

I know what you mean. Have you ever found a pair of hooks that work on concrete poles? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Look at the photo again.

We hooked native poles over there that were made out of some kind of Teak. In school they told us a sixteenth of an inch would hold. They were right. But it was unnerving if you looked down at your feet and it appeared all the hook was exposed. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The reason I was doing that in Nam versus carrying a radio was hooking a pole was natural. So I got to go to signal school. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif while my buds not so inclined got to hump the boonies trying to keep up with some officer.
