Great looking fence. I really like the idea of a simple smooth hot wire along with the barb. That hot wire gives you a place to tap off for interior divider wires about anywhere.

Earth anchor is interesting - I suppose anchor goal is to keep both brace posts from lifting out of the ground? How far is that anchor screwed into the ground.

I ran 5 steel between each wood post on level straight runs. I like the idea of every other one but for the cost. 

Thank you for the pictures. Fencing is something you can look at for years and see what you've built and be proud of it. Not many jobs and things like that anymore.
