All my wood posts are 8 ft long. I put them 3.5 ft into the ground. Then with the brace posts I buried them about 6 inches in the ground and also put a cinder-block under to brace the underground end. So the hole is big enough to put a cinder-block and still make sure the wood is about 6 inches underground. I use nails to attach the other end to the upright posts.Vickir73 said:

K if you want spools for your goats. Call up your local electic company. That's where we got our spools from. We called up our light company and asked if they had leftover spools they let the public have. All DH had to do was go up there and get them. In our case they were free, you just had to go over there, get them and load them yourself. I bet your goats would love them if you got some. The ones we have are huge! I wasn't even sure if our goats would be able to get on top of them at first but BlackJack proved me wrong. Sitting on top of them is his favorite things to do, they also will chill out underneath them, they make great shady areas for them.

*sigh* Been working since 12:00 and just finished at 9:15. The does have their new area. It is a bit larger but has some less browse in it. So the previous owner to one of my goats came out and tattooed her. (Arianna)
There was several cool things I wanted to say when I got on here, but I'm so dang tired and can't remember. When I do I'll let you know.
Oh and thanks Marlow. I think getting a few would be cool. The Kiko does wouldn't play on them but the Nigerian bucks would and the Nigerian does would try. lol They are so fat they might have a hard time. The LaMancha would love it too.

congrats on getting the fence finished.
still have a question on the fence corner post. Once you put the cinder block on the ground, how do you keep the post in the right position? Once you nail it to the upright post, does it support itself pretty well on the block until you can get it packed with dirt?
