are you running top and bottow wires?


Have you thought about strainers for the corners?


For 4ft as a rule you want 6ft posts for intermediates 3 inch diameter rounds or 3 inch square depends on your preference, for strainers 8inch diameter 8ft long post!


Your fencing supplier should be able to advise you!
