No no...not this sort of fencing..... not Sir Farmer Deno.
This kind of fencing!
Throughout the farm, steel T posts were used for fencing. Great material to use...but not for corners or where one fence line meets another.These areas simply caved inward from the horses pushing against the fencing....especially when the ground is soft from winter rains.
These "tension corners" are being installed at every union of fencing meets...and the corners. Hey....this is the second time I've done fencing in the same spot! When on a farm and doing something you never have done before......whether you are a newbie or season farmer....you can bet your last donut..... you be doing all your work twice. Employees love this....... keeps em employed for years.
That shorter post in the diagram keeps the taller one from popping out of the ground. We got enough things here on the farm popping out....like Gophers and Moles. Each post is indeed...concreted in. The cross pieces of lumber you see....is recycled material. Do not ever throw away lumber that is over 18 inches in length...it will come in handy sooner or later.
The red posts are cheap at Home Depot. They are not treated with wood preservatives.....I do that part myself. Details on that... in the future here.
Fence entries are being upgraded the same way.
