Fence post spacing for welded wire fence?

I don't have any welded accept for panels.  Understand that mesh fences don't deal with animals reaching over well, or at least the ones I have seen don't.  Stables we use put in mesh, with a single double strand of wire 4" above that.  Their fencers should be fired - and honestly they were and the people who fixed the mess should be fired as well.  My fencers put in a double strand to reinforce the bottom, a double strand to reinforce the top, and a third double strand 4" above that - and mine is not sagging everywhere.  That said, I probably started out with a better mesh, and they tensioned the fuck out of it (100hp tractor).  Probably another issue - my guys probably used high tension wire for the reinforcement - I suspect that the stables did not - because their top wire is sagging everywhere as well.  Half want to fix the paddocks I use,  but not my fence.  12 gauge standard wire will stretch and not snap back, 14 gauge of high carbon will spring back.

It has been damaged in a few places, but is still serviceable - not sure if it was bulls or a truck.  It will not keep hogs in or out.  They will find a low spot and root under it in short order - damn things will find any weakness.  I doubt they ever need to look more than 100 yards for a place to cross.

while I am bitching - please also note there are different weights of T-posts.  The discount ones are cheep for a reason.  They tend to use 20% less metal.  I bled once, put in the heavier galvanized posts.  I have wood every 5th post, with welded galvanized cemented in corners and welded cemented in H braces every so once and a while (I do not recall if it was every 100 or 300 yards).  Put in almost 2 miles of it, still bleeding a bit.  Off hand, I think I have about $12k of mesh still to install for pens and cross fences - and probably need 2x that to actually finish the job.

Double Wire Fence System also called 2D security fence, twin wire panel fencing. It is quite popular in Europe countries, like German, France, UK. Looked from far away, the wine wire panel is like the regular fencing panel. Nevertheless, unlike traditional welded wire fence as 358 security fence and euro fence, 2D security fence panel welded with two horizontal wires is particularly strong and firm.

Doubled wire fence could be normal type with huge holes or 358 fence with small holes. Two choices of the spacing between two doubled wire of common 2D security fence were offered: doubled every horizontal wire, doubled horizontal wire every three horizontal wires. Usually 868 & 656 &545 are the most common types of welded twin wire panel fencing. 868 type welded wire fence means the panel has two 8 mm diameter horizontal wires and a 6 mm diameter vertical wire.

Features:

·        Double wire: Twin wire panel resists deliberately sabotage.

·        Visibility: See through by holes.

·        Whether resistance and durability: Galvanized wire and powder coated surface make the panel live a long life.

·        Simple to installation: With accessories like brackets and clamp bars, the panel could be installed into the posts easily.

·        Ideal for secondary operations: The fencing could be disassembled into parts easily for secondary use.

Surface treatment

1> Electric Galvanized Then PVC Coated(powder thickness 1mm)

2>Electric Galvanized Then Powder Coated(powder thickness 0.7mm)

3>Hot Dipped Galvanized Then PVC Coated(powder thickness 1mm)

4>Hot Dipped Galvanized Then Powder Coated(powder thickness 0.7mm)

5>Hot Dipped Galvanized After Welding.

Installation:

·        Posts must be buried into earth, 0.5 m minimum to 0.7 m maximum.

·        Several panels could be installed on the top of each other to achieve a higher height.

·        On the top of the fence, if Y posts are used, razor wire and barbed wire could be fitted.

·        Spacing between brackets in post would better be 0.3 m.

·        A full installation guide is available upon request.
