a. Construct cattle fencing of net wire with wires spaced far enough apart to allow ocelot, jaguarundi, and tortoises to pass through. Cut all offsets and “H-Braces” to a uniform length/size.

4.25 Construction materials require hot-dipped galvanized “T-Posts”.

a. Prime with a galvanized rust inhibitor, paint, and cap all vertical pipes to reduce rust and corrosion.

b. Weld a metal plate to the top of vertical pipes to minimize moisture infiltration.

4.26 Entrances to individual properties shall be corner braced appropriately in accordance with industry best practices; and local, state, and federal regulations. (Exhibit C, pages 19 and 20) Install a minimum of 16 feet x 8 feet high-game proof gate. (Exhibit F, page 23)

4.28 As required per code, ensure fence is properly grounded for lightning protection.

4.29 For visibility to mark long runs of fence quickly and easily, use “undersill” or trim strips of white vinyl siding cut into 3-inch pieces. Snap strips randomly onto barbed-wire fence.

4.30 High-tensile rolls of 660 feet with 7” x 12” rectangle webbing of King Ranch galvanized wire pasture fence (6 gauge on top and bottom strands, 9 gauge on the filler strands in between). Fence shall be a minimum of four feet (48 inches) high, hinged-jointed with a grid-like pattern. Install the bottom of the fence at least 6 inches to 8 inches off the ground to allow grazing of the fence line.

4.31 Galvanized clips on T posts, galvanized wire ties shall be used on line posts. Wood posts shall use standard fence staples, 2”. Use gripple wire joiners or crimp fasteners to attach two rolls of high-tensile wire together.

4.32 As required per code, ensure fence is properly grounded for lightning protection.

4.33 For visibility to mark long runs of fence quickly and easily, use “undersill” or trim strips of white vinyl siding cut into 3-inch pieces. Snap strips randomly onto barbed-wire fence.

4.34 Line Fencing: Reinforce fencing every 100 feet with 8-1/2 feet x 5 inches treated wooden fence posts. Install four 6-1/2 feet galvanized T-posts between the 8-1/2 feet treated wooden fence posts.

a. Bury all treated wooden posts a minimum of 3 feet below grade.

b. Install 8-feet double H-Braces every 1320 feet. (Exhibit G, page 24)

c. Install a single 2-barbed wire across the top of all newly erected pasture fence 3 inches from the top of the high-tensile wire. (Exhibit H, page 24)

d. Construct pasture fencing of net wire with wires spaced far enough apart (12 inches wide and 4 inches tall) to allow ocelot, jaguarundi, and tortoises to pass through. Cut all offsets and H-Braces to a uniform length/size.

e. Any change of direction will require an 8-feet H-Brace with a Deadman. (Exhibits G and I, page 25)
