mailman said:Hello, I have 10 acres of newly logged land I want to fence in for goats. Is it possible for me to save some money and use the live trees on the property border as fence posts?
Thank you in advance....Dennis
eb said:Yes, you can use trees...a healthy one is a lot stronger than any post you are going to put in...BUT, I would recommend not attaching directly to the tree (many people do), nail an old piece of lumber (pressure treated is better)to the tree and attach the wires to the board instead...as the tree grows out it will push the board away...if you nail insulators/staples to the tree it will tend to grow into/around the wires.
