Farm Fencing: Steel V/S Wood Posts Who's Wrong? Share your Thoughts!
What happens here
The presenter begins by explaining his rationale for choosing steel fence posts for his farm. His primary motivation is the desire for extreme longevity, aiming for the fence to last 50 to 60 years, potentially for multiple generations, without needing replacement. This contrasts sharply with the typical lifespan of wooden posts, which he estimates at only 20 to 25 years. The core idea is to build a fence once and have it endure, avoiding the continuous cycle of rebuilding and replacing wooden structures.
Goal: Understand the long-term benefits of steel posts
