The discrepancy was not following the OPs chicken run as going to be a fence under tension as opposed to just some sort of lean too off his back shed.
So ya figure he just want sloppy sagging wire then...
Small run. Posts braced top and bottom between each other with further board. String whatever wire you want up however tight you need without sagging.
Again, I was thinking more of a building with braces tying ever thing together as opposed to a wire fence.
Feel free to know everything though. Doesn’t hurt anybody.
