-North Mo | Reckon I'm sounding like a real green horn on this steel pipe for post, but I feel the only thing worse than building fence as a young man is rebuilding the same fence as an old man - so hoping to get all the advice I can.
If I am to use 1/4" X 3.5" pipe for post:
1. is there a particular type of steel recommended? Can I use any'ol 1018 cold rolled welded tubing?
2. do they have to be capped on top
3. anything particular to do to the bottom to help them drive - some of these will be driven into loose limestone, mostly flat stones twice size of you hand and smaller, 1-2" thick
4. is there a paint/treatment I should do to the post to retard rust, or is that a concern
Appreciate all sharing their thoughts/experiences.
