• Wood posts and t-posts have to be purchased locally.

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN POSTS

Post spacing should be reduced to 10 to 12 ft for wind speed above 60 mph.
To calculate the number of posts divide the length in feet of the area that is going to be fenced by the spacing in feet between posts.

HOW TO SET THE POSTS

At the corners and at the gate

The corner posts or gate posts have to be strong since they take the major part of the strain of the fencing: wood post set in concrete, T-post set in concrete, and metal pipes set in concrete are all valid options as corner posts or gateposts. For sandy or rocky soil you will have to brace them.

• 1. Drive your corner posts, gate posts and end posts.
• 2. Make a straight line 10 inches above ground by stretching a string between each end post.
• 3. Install the tensioners at each ends of the string on the end post.

On the fence line

• 1. Along the same string drive the intermediate posts every 16ft maximum
• 2. Set the insulators on these posts following the string’s straight line.
• 3. Repeat the process for each strand of tape.

....I never cared for or considered electric tape before, because when I had seen it used on other farms and paddocks, it looked like CRAP flapping in the wind, sagging, etc... Horseguard is the best I’ve seen, and if it does look professional, safe, attractive, it’s because it is!
I wish I did this a long time ago, I’m looking forward to a maintenance free fencing system. Thank you for creating a product that horse owners can truly rely on for safety and durability.
