try using cement bolts in the ground. drill holes in the shale put the bolts in use a L bracket and bolt the post to the bracket. if that works for you.
Where did you buy the fence? ThanksMy 2-week-old hive is causing me (a newbee) to lose sleep for worry about bears. I finally got materials for an electric fence and realized that the fence should (always) come before what is inside it. Now I have to pound posts into ground that is largely shale, a few feet away from the hive. I imagine the bees will hate all this noise and vibration. Can I move their hive out of the construction zone for the day, and if so, how?
Just found out about these too! I put up an electric fence around my garden and the hubby found those at Orshlen's. WAY cheaper than using our $5 steel T-posts!!! and MUCH quicker. Easy to put up, easy to take down.There are push in posts you can get just about anywhere they sell the fencing.
Not nearly as cheap as wood posts (that you cut) but are fast and no hammering. I imagine you got a nice strong zapper with 3 or 4 rods to take care of bears?
