The local REA, when they are taking down overhead lines at building sites always has for give-away those old heavy brown porcelain insulators from the buildings.
Over the years, those are what I've used at fence corners. This year, I found that about 1/2 of them were shorting out. Apparently, the wire I used to tie them to the posts had deposited enough rust on them to provide a short circuit. I ran new tie wire through 1/8" rubber tubing, and everything worked.
So, even if everything looks OK...electricity can still find the path of least resistance.
