Looking for some input.....
I'm going to put in a HT woven wire fence. The total perimeter is about 3200'. There will be 8 - 10 corners depending on how I zig-zag around wet spots and other obsticles. The longest runs are around 700' to 800' with some short runs of around 100' feet thrown in.
I'm in Northern Minnesota which means wet muchy clay, wet peat swamp, and lots of snow.
I'm wondering about post size, depth, and spacing.
I'm thinking 8" x 12' treated, round corner posts, 6' down, on the corners with long runs in both directions. On these corners I'd use double H braces made of 6" x 6" x 10' treated square posts, 4' down. The braces would be treated 4" x 4" x 8'.
Note: 6 x 6 x 10 posts are cheaper than 6" round. For all other sizes round is cheaper.
On corners with smaller runs I'd size everything down but the H braces: 6 x 6 corners, untreated cedar single H brace posts and braces.
Everything but the big corners would be down 4'.
Any thoughts, advice, suggestions, etc would be greatly appriciated.

Possibly the modern machine with its 6,000 mile or even once
