will snap when it begins to soften. A strut or guy means it will stay up very much longer, because it does not rely on the strength of the ground nor the rigidity of the post. An unbraced post can only really be used for very shallow corners of 5 degrees or perhaps 10 at a pinch. I have one fence with a corner post made of a telegraph pole 11 feet long and 10 inches wide, driven 8 feet into the ground – and it still needs struts... I've removed the sentence.

Pete McManus is said to have demonstrated barbed-wire in Alamo Square, San Antonio, Texas in 1876. The demonstration showing cattle restrained by the new kind of fencing was followed immediately by invitations to the Menger Hotel to place orders. Within 25 years, nearly all of the open range had been

Hi all. I don't know much about editing Knowledge, or whether radio documentaries count as a source, but the documentary of the week on the BBC website this week (radio, unlike TV, should be available in all countries) is called The Devil's Rope, and might be helpful as another reference source for

Not in the USA, Not sure the laws back east, but it's actually the only "legal" wire fence allowed in Montana, technically (rail fences also being legal, but stuff like high tensile smooth wire is a legal gray area here). Which, as a horse owner, drives me nuts -- my neighbor keeps insisting that I

I think what is meant is that if a corner post is driven deeply enough into the ground it does not need bracing. However, the phrase is not only garbled but plain wrong: it would only work in very hard ground, and only while the post retains its full strength. Either it will pull over, or the post

Infantrymen are often trained and inured to the injuries caused by barbed wire. Several soldiers lay across the wire forming a bridge for the rest of the formation to pass over. Often any injury thus incurred is due to the tread of those passing over and not to the wire
249: 63: 1019:
I think this sentence needs some amendment: "If an 8" post is * feet in length is driven four feet into the ground the brace post assembly can be omitted." I'm not really sure what is intended here. If it is just my obtuseness, I apologise in advance.

I saw the match in question on PPV and I can say with confidence that JBL did indeed 'test' the barbwire with his forearm (he wasn't actually cut I don't think) with a scared look on his face (probably all kayfabed even though the barbwire was real)

Didn't mean to fall off on this one, just got occupied with other tasks. I will try to do a review of the article soon and post a to do list or something, maybe an improvement drive is warranted, considering the importance of barbed

In the western United States we often use Incense Cedar (pseudosuga taxifolia)for fence post material. In particular, we use the core of the tree and receive the benifit of the toxic quality of the wood to repel inscects.

It is difficult to comment without knowing what you have in mind re: organizing. How would you respond if someone else asked the same question? Either explain what you want to do if you think it's a big change, or just

historiacally native tress, such as poplar were used in Canada, softwoods are perferable though, ceder and spruce are common. In Montana expence of wood has lead to the use of steel posts.

I think it may be a reference to exceptional behavior at e.g. Cowra and the Golan Heights, but it's very definitely not standard behavior, much less something soldiers are trained to do.

The sentence above needs a reference supplied before inclusion in the article. It is not a unique example, we just need to be more careful about specfiing the source of our additions. --

of John "Bet-a-million" Gates say he is the one who, as a saleman for Glidden's barbed wire, set up the pen. I'm thinking "Pete McManus" is not the correct name here.

I'm removing this as it lacks any source. It falls in the category of "things likely to be challenged," and so I'm removing it outright rather than tagging.
1298: 494: 484: 846:. Glidden and Ellwood partnered on the barbed wire venture because they both held patents on it, I am not entirely sure how Haish was involved, but he was. 1248: 1303: 389: 888:
A history section describing the development in the DeKalb area would be good to add, with the contributions of Rose, Haish, Ellwood, and Glidden. --

Also I think this article could use some reorganization, maybe some different subheads and some text moved around, what do you folks think?

Use is banned for animal fences at least in some countries, for safety and animal welfare reasons. Finland at least, can't say for others.
