Hi-Tensile and Fiber Rod posts

Is 12.5 guage HT too heavy to use 2/3" fiber rod posts as your line posts? I'm fencing a small area to rotationally graze cattle and will electrify, but don't want to "overkill" on the fence in terms of labor and money. My thought was to have wood end posts in concrete but use 2/3" fiberglass posts as line posts.....thanks!

They will be fine as long as you have a good way to attach them to the post.
You should only use them in a straight run.Any place that curves or goes up
or down you will need a steel t post or wood to hold the line.
