Just add a few t-posts? something tells me that fence is going to look like carp in a little while.

Trick is anchoring the posts and keeping it tight.

Ive used old mexican blankets folded 2 or 3 times then draped over the fence without issue.

It comes loose while you are straddling barbed wire. Feedback is 2nd hand. Check it out.

The product reviews I read all seemed positive.

The complaints I read all indicated it slipped down. If people are using it correctly then to slip down it had to break the stepper or tear the little nubs/ears/bumps off a t-post. In proper use of a product will likely lead to failure. What is that age old quote about 99% of mechanical failure is operator error...

I'd put a gate in.

I thought that they had not properly used the product as well, but some mentioned that some tee post are not the same size. I have no resources that would prove or disprove that theory. Considering that a Tee post is not engineered to have 2 - 3 Hundred pounds shifting around on them I could see a possible issue.

This may be true but the penalty sounds pretty steep. Let us know how it works out.

I'm only 43 so still hopping them. However, on the occasions I don't for whatever reason generally just lay on the ground and roll or slide under. Cheap, easy, works anywhere and no ripped britches.

I have the T Post Stepper.
It works OK but the post can be very wiggly. Especially if it is a cheap post, the ground is soft or the post was not driven in far enough.

THIS!

Or just build or have a welding shop build you a crossover with a handrail old timer.

These are way too complicated.

All you need is one good pair of fence pliers. Cost you thirty bucks maybe. Takes two minutes and your done and across and the fence is like you left it.

Geez some of these city slicker suggestions on here scare the hell out of me.

Over?! On your belly and slither under that wire, Private, before I put my boot up your behind! lmao..

Just messing with ya. The fences where we hunt are so raggedy I dont know how the cows arent getting out all the time, so we can usually find a section to get through pretty easily.

Had a spot I crossed in my fence for a while, but not enough to build a metal staircase, or add a gate. cut 2 pieces of about 1" rubber hose and put those on the wires I wanted to squeeze through, took all of a few minutes, some hose and elec tape and was there for almost 10 years.

My fence had 2 "stay's" between each T post, so I did end up taking one of those out.

Back in the day I was thin enough to slither between strands without too much trouble. Now my belly gets caught. Just buy a cheap aluminum step ladder and lay beside fence. Easy enough to set up and take down when needed.

I do like that contraption that spreads strands, but afraid it might weaken the fence over time.

I go under bottom strand. Safest way.

X 2 Climbing over or going through stretches wire and will make it sag. This makes farmers and ranchers unhappy. It makes a place that cattle will push on or ride down. Like Smokey Bear said " ask about putting a gate in" I would suggest a 6' so an Atv/Utv could go through. This may help the farmer/rancher say yes, and give you access to retrieve your game.

No offence to Palehorse, but I would not allow that stretcher thingy in any fence.

Talking to the land owner/manager will help you out.

Roll under bottom strand or cross at h-brace/corner. Don't cut or remove anything if it isn't your fence. A gate will need two new h-braces and re stretching the wire. Messing with someone's fence is bad business and might get you run off.

I would only change the word "might" with "WILL". Pay the land owner what ever he wants to put in a gate. This way he will be happy and you wont get hurt slipping off a frozen ladder. I built one out of 2x6's and it was slick as #ell when it snowed and iced.

Have none of you heard of a stile? Did I miss that this was a neighbor's fence and not an inter-fence? If that is the case nevermind.

I read he was in his 70's. Wood stiles get dangerously slick in cold wet weather. That's why I suggested having the owner put in a gate.
