- How to install T post properly
T-posts are relatively low-cost and easier to work with than using wooden post; however, it is always a good idea to make sure you space them appropriately and drive them into the ground to the correct depth and facing the right direction. We demonstrate all the details you need to know in this video. By following our instructions, you should have a fence that will last for years with minimal maintenance.

Thank you! I learned a lot, most importantly how to drive them straight.
Thank you so much for the very detailed instructions and the tips for getting them straight. It was very helpful.
I appreciate all the tips on putting T posts in the ground...depths and how to turn them. Thanks for explaining which side goes toward the animals you want to keep out. Pretty basic stuff, but I never have seen it anywhere else. Good job!
Your welcome
You're doing great 👍. I'm following God bless your new homestead.
Very informative video. I learned a lot. Thank you!
We use 6 1/2 ft t post we drive them deeper. Im 5' 8" T post should be at least shoulder high. For 5 strands of wire. Been doing this for about 30 years now. Brace posts about 54" high using 8×8 treated or cedar posts. T post are guna be a bit higher. Then you guide the wire about every 5 to 7 t post. We do ours every 10ft apart.
Its easier to show that to explain but im not a social media teacher. Rather show, hands on.
Good video I enjoyed it and can’t wait to get started on my garden soon
Very helpful video, thank you.
Thank you! You covered everything, best video I've come across on this subject !
Wow, thanks!
Good video with nice little tips.
A city kid who now has 10 acres, thanks for this video. I have T-posts backwards that I now need to go fix.
Hopefully you didn’t put too many in the ground
@@MrozinskiFamilyHomestead luckily it wasn't too many and was a temporary fence I'm taking down anyways
Great video. I've learned from my mistakes thanks
This is really helpful, thank you so much!!
Thanks for the wife asking ‘What are you using’ as I didn’t know what they’re called. It’s a t-post driver, for those like me who couldn’t hear it properly.
very useful, thanks
Hey guys so great to see progress!!
Thank you it feels so good to be out on the property
Thanks! Very helpful!
Your welcome so glad We were able to help
I grew up where the ground was hard and occasionally rocky. In that case I suggest cutting the bottoms of the handles (the bends and horizontal bits) off, grinding the weld where the bottom of the handles used to attach to the main tube smooth, and grinding the lower (cut) ends of the handles smooth. That way when (not if) you’re starting the post (reaching up high) and the post hits a rock your hands just slide off the bottom ends of the handles, not into the bend and horizontal part at the bottom of the handle. And wear gloves.
Thank you so much
Great information.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information it will come to use in the future
your welcome
I'ma followin ya'll!!!!!!!
Thanks
I’m in the middle of a 180 yard run right now and even though I pull the string all the way down the line between H braces and use the same tools you got I have absolutely struggled with getting those tea posts in Straight. Even with an extra pair of hands and a level they just seem to have a mind of their own. So after the fact when I’m stretching this fence and getting ready to fasten to T post what I’m finding as they’re not vertical but off to the left or right. Anybody have a solution?
Sometimes, rocks cause the problem, and moving the post one way or the other can make it easier to get the post straighter.

Safety first thank you for being cautious about animals and kids
your welcome
Definitely a job we let our grown children do!
Lol yea that’s why he is doing it not me lol I dug the holes for the post lol
Thanks, didn't know the boot twist tip. Your property is level, what about slopes?
T posts go straight up from the slope of the ground to maintain the height of the wire. As the slope gets steeper, if the post is plumb, the wire gets closer to the ground.
If I am understanding this right, regardless of in or out, you want the animal to push the wire against the t-post? This prevents the animals from just bending/breaking the clip/wire holding the wire to the post, thus forcing the wire off the post, correct?
The bumps on the t post face the animal. If animal pushes on wire the wire can’t move past the bump.
I have to install a post today at boss's ranch by myself. I've never done this before and don't know if I can even lift that big, heavy tool. I'm a strong woman, but not that strong. Wish me luck!
If I can drive a T post you can drive a T post I am a very small womanGood luck let me know how it goes
@@MrozinskiFamilyHomestead I can't believe it, but you were right! I was able to get the T-post in the ground using the tool. I dug a little bit with a shovel, then got myself in the back of the Mule and put that post in the hole, then used the tool to pound it in. Thank you for the encouragement!! Lee from the Texas hill country!!
You are welcome
Let the weight of the T post driver do the work. Hold it up let it fall and shove/pull down you will be fine. You got this!
Put the driver on the post before you tip the post up to drive it in. Also, look for a post driver that is longer and easier to reach.
Also, if a driver is really short and you're driving, the post hard you can lift the driver too high and bring your hand down on top of the post.
what is the weight per foot of the t-post you are using? or weight of entire t-post?
"regular" t-posts like he is using are 1.25 pounds per foot. light duty is usually 1 pound per foot and heavy duty is 1.5 pounds per foot.
What is the height of the post ? is it a 6Ft T-post or 6'5" T-post? Thanks
6.5
Quite them kids lol
How far apart should the posts be?
About 10 feet
How do you keep them from bending?
The thick T post shouldn’t bend
That ground your working with you could drive those in with a claw hammer.
I'm using hog panel, trying to keep people outsider the fence also using brackets to put a wood on the t post.
Can you tell me what side to face the post, do the panels go to the outside? Did I say this so someone can understand? 🙄🙂
Ok I have thought about it a lot trying to come up with a right answer for you for the boards on the post it depends on how the brackets are installed to keep the pigs in you need the rigged part of the t post on the out side and then your boards should go on the outside to smush the hog panel to the t post I hope this helps
Why is the top of a T post white?
So you can see it.
#TIL all the t-posts on my property were installed backwards.
Did y’all get the t post for free also? I’m impressed how much you get for free. What’s the secret?
Yes we ask around
Do you have any spare?@@MrozinskiFamilyHomestead
🫡 great video very instructional...right down to telling us what a t post driver was called...i did not kno the name...
