23 tons of fencing materials on farm...I only dropped?? Our life savings gone!

What happens here

With the posts largely unloaded, the farmer proceeds to unload the heavy rolls of high-tensile woven wire. Similar challenges with weight and stability apply here. Once all materials are on the ground, the farmer details the specific types of steel posts: 999 2.5-inch by 8-foot line posts, several 4-inch by 8-foot strainer/pull posts (heavy-duty corner posts), and a bundle of 6-foot by 3-inch pipes for brace struts (buried underground and welded to main posts for support). He also describes the 'Tornado Wire' (T 1348-12) high-tensile woven wire, explaining its unique Titan knot, the 13 line wires, 48-inch height, and 12-inch spacing (with tighter 3-inch spacing at the bottom). He proudly mentions that the steel posts are US-made, while the Tornado Wire is made in England.

Goal: Completely unload all fencing materials and provide details on their specifications.
