Fencing question

[Mactownfuzz]

I’ve wanting to build a small pen for my wife’s alpacas and will need a corner brace and some H braces. My plan was to use field fence with the smaller squares. I’m not a welder, but would prefer to use pipe over wood. Could I use galvanized pipe, like what goes with a chain link fence? I was thinking if I concreted the posts 3 ft in the ground they should be more than capable of holding the tension of the wire and a gate?

Is there any reason this wouldn’t work or I shouldn’t pull tension from the galvanized terminal posts?

You may look into WEDGE-LOC fittings for your corners. I haven't used them but they may be useful to you.

Buy your corner and braces at Tractor Supply. Dig holes and cement them in. That, IMO, would be the easiest. Would last for years.

You can find corners and Hs already pre built. All you do is cement them in. For a small project like you’re thinking that would be the way to go.

Check with your local pipe supply yards, the one I use here in parker county has braces prebuilt. They also have a single leg and cross bar that bolts on to make a corner.

Thanks. I was looking at this, which seems similar to what your talking about.

I think field fencing is actually very suitable and hence I find that kind of protection to be the best anyhow especially for gardens and farms.

To me, 3 feet is for line posts.
I like at least 4 feet in for a corner or brace.
Ideally, I go five in, five out.
