Morning all

Well, here my next problem. I am running some fence for a new pasture. I have a elevation change of 20 feet or so. I would call it a slope like a pond bank. I was thinking that I should build a H post at the bottom and one right at the top. Don't think Allen can help on this one bet he can buy a ridge out therw.

Sam, Sound to me like you can get by with a lot less Going On....
You do not need the H brase at the low end @ the tank dam. A heavy 5/16 log chain, about 9ft long, Dead-manned @ the bottom will more than suffice for holding your fence. Use a old plow disk at the end of the chain will work nicely. The chain links will be close enough to get the ground clearences you want.
Be sure to use heavy wire to tie EACH run of wire even on Netwire.
At the top of the incline you can use a Wood,Pipe,T-post, or whatever you are useing just be sure to tie every run of wire also!
If you space it right can place the top and bottom post soas it fits your post spaceing perfectly. Also if the fence is in a visable place everyone will be puzzled, and ask.... "How Did You Do That"
I know for My Dad and I did this on a fence 26 yrs ago. We used heavy Dog Chain though, and a light steel plate. The drop was about 25 feet. And the fence is still going strong, here in Central Texas. As I previously stated the main trick is tieing every run of wire even on Netwire. Hope this helps.
Later,
John A.

I think the H posts are a good idea, but also stick in some more line posts. Instead of every 10 feet between posts, go just 6 or 7 feet - you need to make the transition in a series of steps, rather than in one big step. Good luck.

Yeah,

And, I can't lay in a straight fence if my life depended on it. My fences are all crooked as a dog's hind leg. :>(
