    Fencing with Wood vs Metal T posts

    Need your opinion/experience on fence post materials. The question is to use entierly metal t-posts, or a combo of treated peeler cores and t-posts.
    We're in the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. Fortunately very little rock (so far [img]/forums/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img] )
    We're fencing for a horse. 48" no-climb with an electric strand on top.
    What do you think?

    We have 5 horses. Our fences are all t-posts with braces at the corner. We use 3 strand electric tape and have had no problems. We can stretch the tape as tight as we need to. Don't know about the no-climb horse fence though. That may need to be stretched tighter.
    Good Luck!

    I use wood post for corners and gates and t post for everything else. I H brace the corners and gates.

    On top of what Jim said, I'd put a wooden H-brace every 100' of run, no-climb is heavy stuff and you can't correctly stretch much more than 100' at a time.
