Post Extensions Made From Used Pipe FENCING Miscellaneous 21-1-29 Larry Ulsaker, Medora, N. Dak., found a low-cost way to lengthen conventional "T"-type fence posts by using short lengths of steel pipe and short sections of T-post.
"The pipe serves as a small collar to sup-port the add-on section of æT' post on top of the existing post. I came up with the idea when I decided to put buffalo in my pasture and needed to add a fourth wire onto the existing 3-wire fence," says Ulsaker. "Most of the fence posts were wooden and were already high enough to add a fourth wire. However, a few of them had broken and been replaced by steel æT' posts that weren't tall enough to add an extra wire."
Ulsaker used a chop saw to cut a 7 to 10-in. length of 1 3/8-in. inside diameter pipe. He cut a 3-in. long slit into each end of the pipe on one side, offsetting the slits slightly, and hammered the pipe onto the top of the post. He then hammered a 7 to 10-in. length of T-post down into the pipe.
