Build steps
Dig the four brace post holes 36 in deep and set the two H-braces at the ends: 8 ft apart, a 4x4 brace between them and a tie wire diagonal.
Stretch a string between the braces and drive 8 T-posts, 24 in into the ground, 10 ft apart, with the studs toward the animals.
Roll the woven wire along the posts, with the closer spacing at the bottom, and tie one end to the first brace post.
Stretch the wire with a fence stretcher or a come-along on the far brace, until it springs back when pushed.
Clip or tie the wire to each T-post at the top and bottom, and staple it to the braces. Add a hot wire at the top for horses.
Before you start
Woven wire keeps goats and sheep in, and coyotes out if you add a hot wire at 8 in. It does not hold a bull or a determined hog.
The woven wire is bought by the roll: 330 ft of 47 in wire costs about $330. The shopping list prices 100 ft.
Pull the wire only after the braces are tight. A loose brace lets the whole line sag.
