Is Tensioning Necessary for Field Fencing with T-Posts?
I want to put up fencing to keep neighbor dogs and coyotes off my
property, but know little about it. I won't be keeping animals inside - just protecting my cats and garden from predators. I bought 4' high woven wire field fencing, and 34 six-foot t-posts. My land is hilly, and the fence will be climbing up and down its entire length. It is soft dirt in spots, hard clay in others, with no rocks anywhere I've seen. Some places say wooden corner braces are unnecessary, that you can make braces from t-posts using the right widgets. I'm interested in that, because you wouldn't have to dig post holes. However, no site describes how to tension this sort of "t-post only" field fence. Let's say I did install wooden corner braces, and try to tension the fence. How could I tension that, with the land being as uneven as it is? Is tensioning even necesary in this situation? Maybe just rounding the corners would work. |
