Key technical specifications include: wire heights ranging from 6" to 42" above ground, wood and steel post requirements with specific ground depth settings (24"-30"), wire stretching techniques to prevent sagging, gate construction with three-post braces on each side, and specialized fence crossing methods for dry draws and live streams. The document includes detailed diagrams illustrating wire spacing, post setting, gate construction, corner bracing, and crossing techniques for various terrain features. The specifications were recommended by the BDNF Range Specialist and approved by the Acting Dillon District Ranger.
