the only tip i can give is i used roundup/vegetation killer between each
post, then i weedwacked the dead grass out then i took 8 foot 2x2, pressure treated and screwed then at ground level between each post this gave me something to tact the fence to after a season or so the grass grew and hide the rail a bit but the fence was nice and straight coloradotrout wrote in message ... I'm hoping to fence about 1.5 acres At the back, I have 12 feet of 3-rail western post and fail fencing to append to what is already there. On either side of the house I want to use the same 3-rail Then down the sides I want to place a post every 8 feet All around, I want to attached 47" field fence -- the kind that has the tighter mesh at the bottom and more open at top. I have clay soil, for I'm planning to hire out the digging of the holes. Since post and rail fencing fits tog. like a puzzle it has to be assembled one section at a time. Since most of my 3-rail distances are short -- 12', 50' and 60', I'm hopefull that by having a 12" hole I can have all the holes predilled and still be able to get the fence installed w/o having to enlarge any holes. What are some tips to.. a) keep all the posts at the same heighth? b) keep the posts inline? c) brace and support the corners? d) stretch the 47" field wire and attach to the posts? is there a good book on doing this kind of fencing? thanks much, |
