Completing Your Plan

Step 3: Post Accessories

1) If you are getting round posts, get 1 brace band for each round post, noting that these brace bands come in bundles of 8 (item 15-12).

2) Consider getting a digging bar, very handy for setting drive sleeves in straight if your soil is at all rocky. (We offer a digging bar less expensive and better suited to your purpose than those you will find available locally, item 15-03PB.)

3) If you are using round posts with drive sleeves, get one drive cap (item 15-03C). If you are using angle-iron posts or round posts without sleeves, get a manual post driver (item 15-05).

Step 4: Anchors

1) Use corner brace kits and/or earth anchors to counter sideways stress caused by falling branches, snow loads, and deer impacts. If you figure these things will not be a problem, especially if you live in the South or West or your deer fence is short (say 160 feet long or less) you may decide to forego these items. Otherwise, plan on using one deer fence brace or earth anchor at each corner, one earth anchor at each end (if your deer fence butts up against another fence, a wall, or a building), and two earth anchors at each gate.

2) If your deer fence runs right along a property line, or for some other reason you cannot go outside the deer fence, plan on using corner braces (item 15-06) instead of earth anchors at the affected corners. Otherwise use earth anchors (item 16-11). Enter the total number of deer fence corner braces and/or earth anchors you will need in the table below, noting that the corner braces are sold in pairs (one pair of corner braces being sufficient for two corners).

3) If you are using earth anchors, get one 100-foot length of 12.5 gauge galvanized high-tensile wire (02-07HT1) for every 5 earth anchors.

PRODUCT NO.	PRODUCT	COST	QTY
15-06	Two corner brace kits, each with 1 nine-foot corner post, 1 post cap, and 2 brace posts with connectors	$148.49
16-11	Earth anchor 30” long with a ½” diameter shaft and 4” diameter auger, vertical pullout strength 2,500 pounds	$16.95
02-07HT1	High-tensile electric fence wire, 12.5 gauge galvanized steel, 100 feet, for use with earth anchors	$4.99
