Again, another increase in expenses if you chose the longer 6.5 foot posts over the 6 foot option. Size of T-posts: I personally like 6.5 foot T-posts so that I have the option to add more wires along the top of fence while still keeping the post in the ground at a good depth. Also, longer runs of wire may require double H-braces, thus increasing the number of brace posts. I personally would use larger posts if I have access to them, and that drives up the cost. Size of and number brace posts: 6 inches is really as small of a diameter as you should use for the vertical posts on your braces. Naturally that adds up as the distance increases, but the expense is manageable when you plan properly.
