Excellent video. I’m using your 1.5” T-Posts and really like them. Two questions: How far apart did you set your posts in this video? How did you set your end posts?

[@michaelmcelroy6038]

The post I used were 4' X 1.5'' set on 30 foot centers. For the end post I used the Timeless Fence H-post. These post were put in the ground 30" with one bag of quikrete then back filled with soil material. The H-post were out of plumb one bubble so when I tensioned the wire the H-post still sloped away from the pull. Another section I used the H-post and put a short kicker at a 45 degree angle like a floating brace.

Michael McElroy thank you!

Why cut in the middle? Use the gripple on one end to tighten the fence.

Cut the wire in the center and then re-thread it I’ve been doing it the hard way for years The ratchet in the center 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice video! What are the specs on the wire you’re using?

[@bryjbry]

You didn't need braces at the ends and you are using all H-posts, what kind of fence is this?

[@Plastic-innovation]

Thanks for asking about Timeless Fence Bryan. The fence is not all H-posts. There are only H-posts at the end where Mike is installing a spring gate. This was mainly for demonstration purposes on how to get a straight fence line.
