How I do a fence? Some might think I'm strange but I have done it several different ways to keep it straight. I have pulled barb wire between corner post then gone back and put my line post in before it it works okay, but I take a roll of nylon fishing line now days and stretch across instead of my barb wire. Why? First it's easy to work with, easier to move out of the way, easier to stretch very tight, doesn't belly as bad, and alot easier on my hands if I'm driving T-post next to it or a little more forgiving when running a post hole digger (PTO Auger). I usually run a real good distance then I start in the middle with a post, Eye ball the line, then do the rest of the post. My fences come out extremely straight. Around my front yard which is 2 acres, we used a laser pointer and it worked real well. But my land is pretty flat. On hilly land it wouldn't work very well at all. I saw a new neighbor using a level on his picket fence and I tried to explain to him this wouldn't work very well. He insisted it would. His fence is 4 feet high on one end and about 6 feet or so on the other end and looks pretty rough.
