I used 3 strands of barbed Wire Top bottom and middle was Cheaper than the high tensil Wire and helps to be able to get the wire tighter. I Also used regular UV resistant Wire ties to attach the fence to the barbed Wire Cheap and when and if they break Cheaper to replace Mine has been up over a year now with no problems so far..(except the skunk) i do have a few deer that jump over but so far they have not done any damage I also Strung a hot wire along the top of the fence to keep out the cats Ect...I started with using posts cut from telephone poles For my Corners and placed 8 foot treated 4x4s buried 3 feet every 50 feet with metal posts in between every 10 feet i used the redbrand Apron fence and it is holding up just fine....I Will be adding a hot Wire along the bottom on the outside to keep out any other unwanted visitors....
