Building a wire fence with t posts. Fit it over the post lift the tube and ram the top down on the posts. Metal posts are a quick alternative to wooden posts. Space metal posts also known as t stakes 8 feet apart and drive. Secure the fencing to the first post using four more clips spaced down the length of the t post.

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. 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. Position each post with the anchor plate at the bottom and perpendicular to the fence line. Step 1 layout the fence plan for best results identify the corners and run a string or twine line to define a straight path from corner to corner.

Once the roll is attached carefully unroll and stretch the wire to the next post. Tie the wire to the pole. Wrap a wire clip around the back of the t post place the ends of the clip around the wire on either side of the post and squeeze the ends of the wire clip to make tight fits around the fencing.
