Loving the herd life
i need help on the best method of fencing pretty much alone (will have my two young sons who can help but will only be able to assist due to age and size) and best corner post.
I am currently going through a divorce. This leaves me alone after big promises of “oh I’ll help since it’s the boys animals”. Sigh. So I need to get a second pasture fenced. I have all the fencing and posts that I need already purchased. I am going to simply duplicate the set up we already have (nearly square but slightly rectangle though the naked eye couldn’t tell). We used old telephone posts for our corners in a very sturdy manner. I can’t use those because I am alone and can’t handle them nor do I have the skill to cut them. So, my two questions are:
1) corner posts - least expensive but sturdy?
2) how do I do this by myself with minimal help? I know the method. Built other fence rows. But give me your best tips for going solo. I want to get this done between now and the spring because this girl doesn’t want to build fence in 100+ temps.
