Rain Creek Farm After work Wednesday night David sunk two fence posts. Eleven will be required to complete the pen. This morning, David started at 7am and put this fence post on our property line. (07.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm At each point that the fence starts or ends, a double set of fence posts are required. A horizontal brace will be placed between them and a tensioned wire will transfer the pull of the fence to the ground. (07.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Using horse wire (no barbs) a tension wire is strung diagonally between posts. You can also see that the gate has been hung, although it won't be adjusted until all the fencing is complete. (07.04.02) |

Rain Creek Farm Well, we ran out of daylight! It's starting to look like a fence. Still two posts short of being ready for fence wire. We'll use a horse or field fence material (like hog wire) it is a wire mesh with small openings to keep small animals on their side of the fence. It also doesn't have barbs that could scar the donkeys or poke the kids. (07.04.02) |
