ANGLE-IRON POST ACCESSORIES AND TOOLS
Earth Anchors |
 |
Earth anchors (item 16-12 in the table below) are the best (most effective, least costly, and least visible) way of anchoring your deer fence against sideways stress caused by snow, falling branches, deer impacts, or the weight of the fence itself. Plan on using two earth anchors per corner, one per end, and two per gate. For every six earth anchors you will need one roll of 12.5 gauge wire (02-07HT1) for attaching the installed earth anchors to the tops of their respective posts. To learn more about installing earth anchors, go to our written installation instructions or see our video Installing Earth Anchors. Except on very short fences, angle-iron posts do not make good anchoring posts for earth anchors; so plan on using wood posts or round posts at these places.
