Top middle of MO. land of green hills and grass | I've been working in some driven pipe corners here. Don’t use pipe line posts so far, but will consider.
First round I did, I just welded a bead on the pipe to help hold the wrap around insulator. Still had to have a kid to help hold it until wire was tight.
I also double up my end insulators, use the slide on tubing with the steel liner around the posts, as well as a kiwi end insulator from Kencove for one end and the tube+a spring insulator from Kencove for the other end. Seems to me like a few extra insulators saves voltage leaks, even on wood posts. My FIL just uses the tube and when wet, you can hear his corners clicking.
The next batch I'm doing, I think I'll slide a section of 3" drain tiLe over my corner and bend posts to give a notch for the wire/insulator to sit in and not slide around.
