Building A Barbed Wire Fence With T Posts

Each post should be driven into the ground until the flared fins are beneath the surface.

Building a barbed wire fence with t posts.

Pull the fence taut. Now you can strain the wire. Position each post with the anchor plate at the bottom and perpendicular to the fence line. Simply lift the tool and let go gravity and the weight of the tool will work to drive the t post in.

Unroll the fence to the opposite corner or end post and attach it to the post with 1 1 2 inch galvanized fence staples. Anyone who s ever tackled the job of building a barbed wire fence will have to agree. Low spots require additional braces to make sure the tight wire doesn t pull up the posts. The key to a good barbed wire fence is good braces.

The fence should be on the outside of all the posts. It is a special weighted pipe that slides up and down on the top section of a t post forcing the post into the ground. Then define the level where the top rails should be placed. 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.

You can skip this step if you build a barbed wire fence. Check the level. Start from the corner post and move to the next pillar unrolling the wire and stapling it carefully. 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.

That is the top of your fence.
