Fencing a square post.

[Percy Veer]

I've about 8 metres of wire netting and top wire to be strung.

There's a square post in the middle, (concreted in).

As it's such a short length there won't be much strain on it.

If I do it in 1 length of fencing it means a 90 degree turn for the wires around the post.

Can I do it with 1 length of fencing with a 90 degree turn or best to wire the 2 lengths separately?

Thanks

Concreting wooden posts in will kill them ,,be rotten inside two years ,if not sooner .

One length. Don't cut it

Remember ht wire is like elastic band , the longer the pull the tighter it is

If it's only 8m total, assuming it's approx 4m per side of the square post, then I'd just use 16' (4.8m rails). 5 Rails to make it stock proof. Far easier and better than trying to fix wire.

If you're really set on doing it with net, staple it to the centre post, just enough to nip the wire, and pull it both ways. Don't pull too hard the first time, as it's only the staples holding it, but you'll get a better pull the second time.
Should even itself up that way.

Vertical nails under the horizontal wires to stop the wires digging into the post.
