If I didn't have a barn full of 12g Red Brand wire, I'd go with the 15g high tinsel. Cheaper and easier to install. I've been to 2 day classes on fencing types and building methods.

H braces might not be enough if you pull the wire as tight as designed. Add that dead man. In our sand, we need to run double H's with the deadmanLast edited by Shiner; 01-14-2014, 08:39 AM.Comment

Upping it to 4 strand and a larger gate. I dont like 5 strad because half my deer like to go through vs over the fence to get to my feeders and plots.Comment

We are in rocky country. If I can get them 4ft in the ground they arent going anywhere. Found a guy in GT that prefabs H braces and corners. When I price the steel out it only cost me about $30-40 per brace to get them from him. Huge time saver.Originally posted by shinerbock View PostComment

How to build corners/H-Braces. Pick your wire height, and open the file. StayTuff is netwire, but their corner design is solid.
Dont go all T-Posts. You need some posts every now and then to hole the wire up. A fence thats all T-posts will eventually "push over" from pressure. They arent deep enough, and they bend easy.Last edited by Palmetto; 01-14-2014, 09:56 AM.Comment

The concept of 2 days of a fencing class is one of those things where I'm glad someone did it, but glad it wasn't me!!Originally posted by Dusty Britches View Post
With a lot of fencing to do (Young County) I am searching the wise GS and came across this thread. Has any new wisdom emerged?
I'm sold on 5 wire, t-posts every 12ft, the need to add line posts where it's sandy, and good H braces (although they are already in place and in good shape.)
I have tons of busted wire on an old suspension fence and with it being over-grown, the cheapest answer is to replace it.
My current uncertainty is high tensile wire vs not.....Comment
