U-Bolted T-Posts Make Solid Corner Post

U-Bolted T-Posts Make Solid Corner Post FENCING Techniques “After many years of building fence I finally figured out how to make a strong corner post out of T-posts ” says Sam Powell Hagerstown Md “I use four 2 by 3 1/4-in 5/16-in U-bolts to hold the T-posts together First I drive in the corner post Then I attach two brace posts at an angle putting a U-bolt around the top of each post securing them to the corner post The bottom of each brace post is U-bolted to the base of the first post in each side of the fence line “My place is very rocky so sometimes I have to use a hammer drill with a 1-in bit followed by a 1 1/2-in bit before I drive the T-post in After driving a post into rock don’t expect to pull it out again easily “When I want the corner post fully insulated I use a piece of 1 1/2-in pvc pipe slipped over the T-post I cut notches in the pipe to keep the wire from sliding down ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Sam Powell Hagerstown Md ph 301 491-3046
