Advantages of Galvanized Pipe Posts and Post Spacing

What happens here

The video discusses the benefits of using Schedule 40 galvanized pipe posts over traditional wood posts for fencing, especially in rocky terrain. Pipe posts are only slightly more expensive than wood posts and offer significant advantages: they can be driven directly through small or fractured rock without splintering or breaking, unlike wood posts that would either break or be kicked off to the side. Pipe posts are also consistently straight, eliminating crooked posts and making fence lines visually appealing. They do not split, can be hauled more efficiently in bundles, and have a high moisture content which makes them more durable. This results in a fence that lasts three times longer than a wood-posted fence. Additionally, modern high-tensile woven wire fencing, with its inherent stiffness, allows for wider post spacing (up to 25 feet), reducing the overall cost of installation while maintaining effectiveness, especially when there isn't much stock pressure.
