I used metel fence posts and used a drill from a rental that had about a 2 1/4" bit. I think it was about $75 a day. I used a stringline to and then plumb-bobbed from that for the holes. Holes were about 1 to 1 1/2 feet deep. Got it very straight. Then I hand filled around the posts with concrete and tamped the heck out of it. I used 'barbless barbed wire" for the fence. I brought that from the states. Don't see it here. I followed the natural contour of the property and that worked out well.
For the front fence portion, I put the same cedar I used for the gate on the barbed wire. It mates up with the cedar faced farm gate. Attaching the cedar was interesting. But it worked out well and it looks pretty decent.
A lot of work. And NOT a weekend project without helpers.
I'll post pics later.
