I am not excatly sure what type of product passes thru the pipeline, but Marathon Gas has plastic markers along the line. This line is a long distance one, miles long. I cant imagine anyone using the line other than some type of large complex. I called the 800 no. on the markers and talked to someone that seemed to not know anything about placing fences. He just kept saying make a one call. His concern was diging around the area which is understandable. Me installing a fence is not an issue just curious if someone might come along and make me remove it. I get the idea that it should not be a problem, just trying to make sure.
I have seen a couple of tractors come through cutting grass and never considered putting fencing up until recently.

On with the fence. We are new to new to owning land and would like some input about puting in wire fencing. We have 35 acres, approx 2000 feet of which run along a road that is not heavly traveled. That encourages people to dump, cut fire wood and just generally be where we dont want anyone. Fencing along the road is our main interest and later on maybe the other three sides. No animals to keep in yet. First question is where do we look for posts other than the big box stores? Can we use landscape timbers for posts, they are cheeper than round fence posts by a buck each. How about the metal t-bars, why not use them, cost is about same as round post yet seem to be easier installation. We have a tractor and a post hole digger attachment. Any online reference would be appreciated. Hopefull that is enough information to get this post started.

We placed about 20 signs along the road, we are guessing the people around cant read. We now have approx. 50 well used tires to deal with. I still am not sure why we should not use landscape timbers for posts. Using landscape posts would allow us to have a taller fence cheaper than round posts. We used landscape timbers for a fence around our garden about seven years ago and today they are still solid. Thanks for the suggestions, keep em coming.

Sounds like using land scape timbers is not the best idea for at least two reasons. One being rot at ground level, the other is the posts will become distorded, leaning over, generally in in the direction of the loads imposed by the fencing. So be it we will use the product which is made for the purpose. About the pipeline, the gas company did not have a concern other than gaining access for emergency repair. At this time we are putting in a fence with no gate and and ok with it being tore down to conduct emergency maintence. We hope cutting grass is not considered emergency maintence. Thanks for the help folks.
