PAGE is the only fence we know of that Is made ol Basic O.
one third more than other tences.
H. process thats why It stands
Other tences must have six inch stays tor hogs because It will not stand the strain, and must
have posts eight to 16 teet apart.
- PAGE says: "do not put posts closer than 24 teet." In field fencing he recommends post not
closer than 50 feet with stays between.
