For more information, please visit Puhuasheng.

I am going to be different here. Last fence I built about 15 years ago. was 5 X8 Forever posts. If those are too high priced now 5 X8 darkest blackest creoste posts . I hate to handle it but in the cool parts of the year its not so bad. Absolutely NO metal posts of any kind cause they short out hot wires like ugly on a ape.

THEN you can space out posts 200 '. If that gets bad results you can split it and drop another at 100' and can put them later at 50'. BUT try the 200' plus one on every high and low spot in rolling ground. I used the longest staples and stapled direct to the forevers. on wood might try it but probably put porclean insulator with a long nail. Insulate all wires since then can move the hots and grounds around.

AND lastly yes hi tensile is king. The fence doesnt keep them in the heat does 5 wires where to top wire is right at nose level and I am 5'10". Pull the wires tight enough not to sag and retighten in heat.

As for remote pastures with no juice available 2 good battery fencers, big batteries, and a good solar panel connected to battery. Why two? If one goes down usually the other will keep them in. I am told cows sense the hot wires with their whiskers. If they sense hot at all in fence they walk away. Early season small calves(hard to hold till there hoofs harden up) make the bottom wires hot and a ground in the middle. You can raise the hots as calves get older and weeds get taller. Nice part of 200' posts is if you want to mow under the wire,after shutting juice off as the smooth wire wont snag anything. You can virtually drive into it , back out and cant see damage(dont ask how I know) AND the biggest plus of HT is it bites twice as hard as any other wire used.

Never had any problem holding them on any heat in that fence(reason for two battery fencers with solar chargers. Solar fencers are junk, you can do the same only better each piece these days. Never had many of those around in the old days but many now. Just a good battery will hold a charge with no help for a month or more. Depending on size and how often you are there could use 1 solar panel for two batteries
