Someone told me to pour that quick-crete (sp?) stuff in the post holes
to set the posts. Apparently it turns to concrete over time and is easier

more convenient to use.
They did that either for the poles of our barn or for our board fence in

Do you mean t-posts? No, you don't need to cement them in because you drive
them into the ground. With wooden posts, you have to dig a hole that's much
bigger than the post, and that means that the ground is no longer firm
around them.
I would strongly
of course with you canadians you dont have to worry about your horses
running around so much and knocking into fence posts. They just stand
neck deep in snow trying to conserve energy til spring :)

That is why our bottom strand is COLD. If it's hot...it will ground
your fence out and it will not be hot. Just run the fence and don't
hook it up to the other hot lines, this will keep it cold. <:p]
