Dear all,
I am about to begin fencing my 1 and a half acre site. I wish to put down cylindrical wooden posts (treated). From each post I intend to attach sheep wire to the bottom, one strand of barb wire and atop that a strand of electric wire. Does this seem ok to make stock proof?
Regards,
Mohainle

- How far apart should each post be?
- After what distance should a support post be placed?
- Is putting the electric fence atop the fence suitable or should I place it on stakes the far side of the fence? (I own that bit too so I don't need permission)
- Is it necessary to place concrete around the posts as I intend to sow a Copper Beech hedge asap adjoining the fence?
- What tools would make the job easier?
Regards,
