Building A Wire Fence With T Posts

Tie the wire to the pole.

Building a wire fence with t posts.

You should space your posts 8 12 feet apart as a general rule although 10 12 feet apart is sufficient for 5 6 wire barbed fence. Metal posts are a quick alternative to wooden posts. Use the baling wire or metal ties to tie the wire to the post at the top the middle and the bottom. Position each post with the anchor plate at the bottom and perpendicular to the fence line.

Even novices can put up a quality fence using t posts and professionals will find t post fencing a breeze to work with. Step 1 layout the fence plan for best results identify the corners and run a string or twine line to define a straight path from corner to corner. Secure the fencing to the first post using four more clips spaced down the length of the t post. Starting at a corner attach the end of your roll of welded wire.

Once all the posts are set hook the mesh over. Fit it over the post lift the tube and ram the top down on the posts. Wrap a wire clip around the back of the t post place the ends of the clip around the wire on either side of the post and squeeze the ends of the wire clip to make tight fits around the fencing. Continue to the corner.

Once you have the corners set and braced run a guide line between them to ensure you set your t posts in a straight line.
