Trying to beat the price increase on this….Lowes and Home Depot already raised their price on it.

T Posts are a necessary commodity for those with acreage and are good to have in abundance. We always have a mess of them and could scavenge dozens more in short order from interior fence lines if necessary. And, *for entertainment purposes only* could be buried in concert at an upward angle to prevent lighter vehicles from breaching a property line-especially the 7-8 ft ones. Also, having bollard-like materials is helpful, as well as bagged cement mix, barbed wire and similar items. Another one is dry branches-very large piles behind fencelines can be used as a “poor-man’s” barbed wire to channel the flow of interlopers into areas where you want them as no one will take the time and effort to wade, crackle, snap and tumble through them. That said, they’re a fire hazard, so don’t use them near buildings. I also once saw a garden hose bristling with old nails…poor man’s tire popper.
Another item skyrocketing in price is cisterns for water storage. We got ours for $1 a gallon more or less. They are over $2 per gallon in most cases now, and over $3 per gallon in some cases. Now is the time to get if you are gonna.

lots of good ideas there. I have been using industrial 320 gallon tanks and paying 25 -- 100 dollars for them. It is good to have excess water for fire and shortages!

Many thanks for the update on pricing! This is on my lists and now you’ve motivated me to take action. What spacing do you suggest using for T-post? Our back pastures are all wood posts but my from yard (2-acres) is open and I definitely don’t want that open to the Zombie Hordes!

8 ft works in most cases, depending on what you’re keeping in/out. We might stretch it to 10 ft in certain situations.

I use either 8 or 10 footers, depending on the terrain, to keep the deer out. Three days ago I paid $12 each for (4) 8 foot T posts….

As hound states 8ft is what I used on my 2 and a quarter acres.
