When we bought our property 4 years ago, our neighbor said we did not need to put new fence between the properties ( we have a horse ), that his fence would suffice. He later put a gate so that our horse could enter their pasture and socialize with their horses.

He now wants us to put up our own fence and because we just had to replace our leach field, the expense is an issue.

I am looking for the most economical way to do this. The neighbor suggested corral panels but I am thinking that would be too expensive. My husband and son will do the labor so I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion, experience or idea about the best way to do this?

Is there anyone who sells used fencing materials?

Thank you for your time.

I'm thinkin' that maybe we could get this moved over to the Corral.
I'll bet there would be a of of good suggestions there!
(and maybe you could even score some used materials!)

Oh, that kind of fencing. My first thought was, "Foil, Epee or Saber?"

Lol Sabel.

So LBL I am new to this. Do I move it or does an administrator have to do it?

Great idea by the way! Thank you.

It's a Moderator task-
& here ya are!

The least expensive and easiest fence would be three strands of slick wire on t posts, with wood and cement corners. If you're worried about the horse leaning on the wire, you can run an electric strand from a solar charger. This will increase the price though. Some people would use barbed wire for this reason, but I wouldn't. Horses are masters at getting caught up in wire, and if it's barbed wire bad things can, and often do, happen.

Corral panels are a good option if you don't have too much to cover. Although they may be a little pricey up front, you can generally always sell them when you're finished with them, or move them as your needs change. People are always looking to buy used panels.

Just a couple thoughts. Good luck.

look, free tee-posts http://www.pinecam.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=149594

If you use them, remember to cap the tops so the hroses don't get hurt. I'd recommend a small square horse wire, not strands--again, so they don't get hurt, but am not sure of price on either. If you get the mesh wire, be sure the holes are not large enough for the horse to put a hoof through.

Thank you for your help. I would not have seen the free T-posts otherwise. What a wonderful community we have!

I am very grateful.
