How far apart should fence posts be high tensile?
How far apart should fence posts be high tensile?
Most fence posts can be spaced 8 to 12 feet apart. While this is a general criteria, it doesn’t cover all scenarios. For instance, high tensile fence can have larger spacing, requiring line posts every 15 to 20 feet for field fence styles, and as much as 20-30 feet for high tensile barbed and smooth wire.
How do you do a high tensile fence?
Building High-Tensile Fence
- Dig holes for the corner posts.
- Set corner posts.
- Build braces.
- Attach insulator tubes to corner post.
- Unroll the wire.
- Lay out line posts.
- Attach the insulator tubes and wire on the second corner, before you walk (or drive) back to the first corner.
- Cut and attach wire on the first corner.
What are fence stays?
Fence stays are proven reinforcements for your barbed wire fence. With a 9.5 gauge wire diameter and a class 3 galvanized finish, this fence stay is designed to withstand outdoor elements and wear and tear. Increase post spacing on your field fence by using these galvanized fence stays.
What is high tensile fencing?
High Tensile. High tensile fencing is made from high carbon steel with a carbon content of .28%. High carbon wire will stretch 4% before breaking and will not sag as much as low carbon wire. If installed properly, high carbon wire provides a maintenance free fence requiring no additional re-stretching.
What is high tensile?
High-tensile steel is a product of clean carbon steel that is designed to handle high amounts of stress. This type of steel requires a focused creation process and the correct materials. High-tensile steel is used for construction that requires the use of materials capable of handling an immense amount of stretching and pulling without breaking.
What is high tensile wire?
High Tensile wire is regarded as the most significant improvement in farm fencing since the introduction of barbed wire in 1874. While relatively new in the US, it has been used to effectively control cattle, sheep and other livestock on ranches in other countries for over 50 years. High tensile wire is made with higher carbon steel.
