With competitive price and timely delivery, Dishun sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

If you can scrounge old cable or heavy wire, you can run a top cable to hold up woven fence over long runs; I have a removable ~hundred foot run of 7ft plastic deer fencing supported by an old winch cable and tensioned with a lb WLL ratchet strap... wire would be more demanding, but if the materials are free...

Just make sure to build them wide enough for the height you need, I've seen enough that tipped or sagged too much to be useful. But the ones with the right ratio looked like they could stand for 100 years!

Also, depending on your area, there's a way to make stone posts. I can't remember the name of the type of stone, and I can't find the article, but in one of the K states there's a type of stone that is so soft when first uncovered, you can cut it with a knife. But after it's exposed, it reacts with oxygen and turns solid as concrete. Pioneers used to carve up long pieces to use as fenceposts.
