T-post fence

[Seann]

So I started fencing off my garden and I realized I didn't plan for an entrance. I bought a bunch of t -posts and welded wire fence. How do those of you that use a t post fence make an entrance for yourselves?

How high is the fence? I only need a rabbit fence 24-28"H so I just use the fencing all the way around and create an entranceway with posts on either side. I secure the fence panel to one post with heavy wire and, depending on the gauge of the fence panel, weave a bamboo pole on the end for extra strength. Secure the "gate" closed with clip on carabiners or clamps.

But I only use the "gate" when I need to bring things in or out with a wheelbarrow or I'm letting my parents or small kids in to enjoy the garden. For everyday use, I just step over it like a hurdle -- it's my leg-lift exercise regimen... And believe me, wearing heavy gardening boots, multiple trips in and out of the various garden areas can leave me burning in the beginning of the season!

This is my backwoods engineering for my fence. I have two posts (i.e. the gateway) wide enough to fit a pickup truck through, and on the end of the fencing I have a 2x2 post wired on. The bottom of the post fits down in a depression in the dirt next to the T post, and a wire loop at the top of the wooden post slips over the top of the T post. I simply pull back the section of fence and let it flop over when I want to walk in. I pull it back as much as I need for getting the wheelbarrow or truck through.
