I am building this fence per their specs. They are going with 6 foot t-posts on 16 1/2' spacing with braces made from 9 foot railroad ties on corners, 1/4 mile markers and direction changes including where a division fence attaches. This fence is mostly to keep winter range cows out, but the netwire fence is intended for the goat/sheep operation. They are putting in 2 wire dancers or stays inbetween each set of t-posts. I agree with you about using more wood posts. If it was my place i'd go 5 steel and a cedar post. On corrals i use stout cedar post or ties. As a very lazy guy, i try to build something i won't have to build again. :wink: The pay is great and so far the folks who own the place like my work and haven't run me off yet. I have made enough so far to buy a 2002- 20' used Sooner aluminum stock trailer!
RSL, If i come to Canada i'll have to tell ya up front that you are on the list of places to see but Gcreek has got a bunch of fence i have to build first. But if he gives me trouble, i'll head your way quick. :wink: And your payment would be about right for what i am worth! :lol:
I've got 100 10' x 10" posts and all the logs cut for the corrals at Morrison Meadow. All I need is the loss of fear or an expert contruction artisan to get started. Will use a vibrator to sink the posts, if our hoe is too small the neighbor has one on a 200 excavator that will push them in.
After that have enough posts to rebuild 2 miles of wire.
See you about the end of May, bring your own lunch. :lol:
Very nice job H. :tiphat:
Just waiting for the bush pilot you hired to swing by here and pick me up.
If that bush pilot ever shows up, you can come over this way, and I'll go help with all this fencing project. I am pretty sure you guys are gonna need a supervisor.
