This fence is lower than normal fences. Built of alternate concrete posts and steel standards, it has been lowered to take seven wires on posts designed for eight. (The staple for the bottom wire is just visible at the bottom of the illustration.) Fences similar to this have been re-strained and battened 12 months after erection, and the owner reports that they are cattle proof and long lasting.
