Next BIG Farm Project Starts Today!

What happens here

Using an online mapping tool, the creator accurately traces the planned fence route, calculating the total length needed (approximately 4,000 feet) and identifying key points for corner, brace, and line posts. He determines that 12 corner posts, multiple stubby posts (driven into the ground for bracing), additional brace posts, 10 turn posts, and 180 line posts will be required. He also calculates that 12 spools of 330-foot wire will be needed to cover the entire fence line.

Goal: Determine precise material quantities and strategic post placement
