Fence post spacing — a quick guideLine posts (star pickets) carry the wires between your strainer posts. As a rough starting point: crop or exclusion fence about 5 m, sheep about 4 m, cattle about 4 m on flat ground and about 3 m on hilly ground. Space them closer together for more wires, larger or pushier stock, and undulating country. Let your strainer posts do the anchoring at ends, corners, gateways and any change of direction or slope.

Drive the 270cm Waratah Galstar Maxy JIO post using a hydraulic or manual post driver to 600-700mm depth in firm soil. The Maxy profile is heavier than standard JIO, suited to exposed ridgelines, corners, high-tension fence runs, and any location with elevated stock pressure or wind loading. Tips: The additional steel in the Maxy profile also means it takes more force to drive — a hydraulic post driver is strongly recommended for large quantities. Set end and corner assemblies first and use a string line to keep intermediate posts perfectly aligned.
