Take a small piece of Timeless t-post, cut into the hole, mount to the face of the vertical post, and run a string from corner to corner.

Install your corner post 2-3 feet down using 1 bag of concrete.Turns out you use less wood and create a much stronger corner anchor so that sounded good to us! Moses highly recommended we go with a triangular or "A" brace style instead of "H" bracing. Triangular or "A" BracingĮach vertical corner post also needed bracing. This was pretty back breaking work, even with our gas powered auger and 8" auger bit. The first major step in finishing our fence was to install all the corner posts and t-posts.

#TIMELESS FENCE COUPON FULL#
We're working on a full cost breakdown, and will be sharing soon. Usually electric fencing can get expensive, but since the Timeless T-Posts act as insulators, we actually ended up saving money over a traditional barbed wire fence. This will allow us to keep out large animals like cows, but also smaller ones like coyotes or javelina. That being said, we opted for a nine strand high tensile electric fence. We have an irregular shaped 6 acre parcel that has 8 corners, so our fence project will likely be a little more complicated than most. Oh wait, we should probably tell you what kind of fence we're building! So what was the process exactly? Read on to find out. It was a gargantuan task, and looking back I couldn't be more proud of our little family, and how we pulled together to make it happen. One of those weeks I took off work so we had more time, and the kids helped in rotating shifts (someone had to keep an eye on the puppy). That doesn't mean it wasn't hard, though! We spent two weeks working around the clock installing posts, running wire, and hanging gates. Thankfully, we had great teachers in Moses & Polly from High Desert Homestead, and felt like we had a good handle on the process.
Interested in folks' input/experience/thoughts.The last two weeks may be the hardest we've ever worked! As the fencing workshop came to a close, we had a sobering revelation: there was still about 2/3 left of this fence to build - and it was all up to us! I was thinking about the fence to replace aging barbed wire perimeter fence. Probably 7 or 8 lines of high tensile steel wire to cover the entire height of fence, which could get expensive depending on your situation. One nice feature it has is that holes are pre-drilled every 3 inches along the length of the t-posts, so you can run a couple or three lines of high tensile steel wire down low and then space them out more as you go up. That said, a well known sheep rancher (Greg Judy) is an advocate for the Timeless Fence system. My concern is that multiple parallel layers of single strand high tensile electrified fence in the Timeless Fence T-posts will not keep out predators as well as electrified woven wire. I've done this to keep predators out, in addition to using guardian dogs. The entire fence is electrified and it will get your attention if you touch it. I use high tensile, electrified, woven wire on my farm for containing sheep. I recently ran across this: and was wondering what folks think about using their system for containing sheep (primarily) and also cattle.
